Never thought this day would come...
...but I have to sell my beloved first car due to some unfortunate family issues

Once I figure out a price it will be up for sale
BTW it is fully smogged and registered!!
I need some help figuring out what on earth my car is worth!!! Here's a list of mods:
-LT1 with the LT4 hot cam kit
-Hooker shorties
-SLP loudmouth with 50 state legal cat
-T56
-4th gen rear end
-gen 5 Camaro SS Brembos front and rear
-Eibach springs
-front struts are Tokico, rear shocks are Bilstein
-Spohn pan hard bar, torque arm, T56 crossmember, front and rear sway bars
-BMR LCA's
-Ferrari 599 GTO dark blue paint
-half cage in rear
-Corbeau A4 in grey/black micro suede
-3 point Corbeau harnesses
-Momo steering wheel
-18"x9.5" F&R VMR v710, BMW E39 M5 fitment
-I have lots and lots of extra parts, including a 3" Flowmaster cat-back, another set of LT1 heads, and my stereo system I pulled out when I did the swap.
Any help would be REALLY appreciated!!!
Thanks in advance guys!

Re: Never thought this day would come...
Sorry to hear you have to sell. It's hard to value stuff like that and it's almost never what you want to hear. You may have to add up everything you spent and half it or so unfortunately. Throw out what you'd like to get and see what happens.

Re: Never thought this day would come...
sounds like it is a good nice car.
of course it is never worth as much to someone else as it is to you unfortunately...
is it smog legal or illegally smogged? this all matters to people.
Some people wont buy it just because it has an LT1..
A lot of variables. Be prepared to hold onto it for awhile until the right buyer comes along. But determine your price. add $$$ to it so the low ballers come down to what you really want. So if you want 6k per say. Start at 7800.00 they'll think you want 7k and will offer you between 6-6500.

You may want to say roughly where you are too so people know how far away you are.

Re: Never thought this day would come...
The mileage on the body and drivetrain is also helpful to determine price along with some quality pics.
As nice as some of the mods may be that you listed, the value you gain from them in a sale is nominal.

An untouched 350 tpi would be someone's preference when buying a car. but if hte work looks good and the engine runs good, you let them drive it they will either fall in love or hate it

Re: Never thought this day would come...
Thanks guys for the input, I still have to figure out where to start price wise. I get conflicting numbers when I talk to my friends and family!
I fully understand someone's desire to have an untouched car instead of one so modified...there are days when I feel the same way!
When I figure out my starting point, I'll be posting lots and lots of pictures and a very lengthy detailed write up.
Thanks again guys

Re: Never thought this day would come...
Sorry to hear you have to sell you ride... I wish you the best with the sale. I wish I could help you out with the price of the car... Do you think the LT1 would hurt your sales?

Re: Never thought this day would come...
I think if it is legit meaning smog legal it wont neccesarily hurt it. But if its technically an illegal swap it will. Because the buyer will always be concerned with having to find an illegal smog and all.

Re: Never thought this day would come...
If the car is as nice as it looks in the small picture, I can't see why it couldn't get at least $10k. Post up some more pics so we can get a better idea.
