Thats it. This whole car has been pretty much rebuilt from ground up. The motor maybe would be 6k.

I know, but mods don't do much for cars prices. TOPS you'd get 8, but my car had a rebuilt engine/tranny/bolt ons and i got 5,500 and it was a 97 TA rare Red Orange metallic and PERFECT condition... Fbodies have BAD resell value man, just gotta realize that. Camaros also sell for less than TA's usually

For fbodies, if you want a high price for your car, you have to talk a 16-19 yr old guy to buy it. It really does sound like a nice car, fast too, but don't get discouraged if you dont get the price you want, it has happened to us all, thats just the way it works

It will take a certain kind of buyer if he wants to get out of the car what he put into it. Modifications generally don't add value to the car. Also, if the car has a body kit that is still in primer, that may make it difficult to sell as well.

sounds like a nice car for a project or paint it and drive...

like said above the small mods don't add much value. An internally forged 355 or 383 stroker with trick flow heads, LT4 intake and coated headers would add a lot to the value but you can't just add what you spent on the mods to the value of the car it just don't work that way.

For instance I spent $500 on a third gen camaro and $2000 to get it running. Nobody would touch it cause it has 208,000 miles on it. I tried selling for $1000 obo and got a lot of lookers but teh miles would turn em away every time. I still have the good ol' 89 sitting in the garage. The salvage yard would give more then what I was offered but I can't bring myself to have her stripped and crushed.

Oh and
