Beautiful car! $35k is REAL high though. Keep in mind that you can buy mint, low mileage LS1 turbo/supercharged cars for $20-25k. Most people that would be in the market for something like this are going to choose a LS1 99% of the time over a LT1. Don't get me wrong, I have always been a LT1 guy But, the market commands LS vehicles now. If you are serious about selling a car, you need to research the market over the past year to see what similar cars have actually SOLD for.....not what owners price them at. There was a low mileage YSi LT1 M6 car forsale last year that barely pulled $10k. Your car has a slightly nicer motor with better parts, but other than that it was almost identical.

It will hurt to hear this, but your car will bring $12-14k at the most. When you build something like this, it's always best to keep it if you can. It's never worth as much to someone else.

All that said, it's one of the nicest LT1 cars out there
