Default 1998 V6 Camaro, whats it worth?

I'm trying to get at least 5k for it, I'm trying to get a local LS1 fbody.

What do you guys think?

I'll entertain some offers, let you guys tell me what you think, and if anyone is really interested we can work something out...

Here's the details:

1998 Chevy Camaro 3.8
123,8XX miles
A4 Transmission
Condition: Good
Color: Quasar, electron, metallic blue(not sure)/black theme

Exterior
The car's body is straight, no dents, pretty much new.
-Fiberglass SS hood off a real SS, painted Manta SS hood decal, with SS hood scoop grill
-SS spoiler painted black
-Berger panel painted black with blue CAMARO letters
-Halo headlights, halos have burnt out, but the headlight still looks new
-Clear corner lights with black housing
-Clear rear marker lights with black housing
-Stock 16" snowflake rims, 215's in the fronts(half life left), 245's in the back(brand new)
-Billet grill painted black
-Foglights, needs new bulbs
-Ebay shorty antenna, I have stock antenna as well
-Removed door moldings

Interior
-Automatic windows dying, working on manual window conversion should be done soon
-Leather gray seats, driver side powered
-New OEM black carpet
-Sony headunit with remote, might get a stock radio put in prior to sale
-Painted interior panels black for that new look, rocker panels, amp panels, door bezels, etc
-Cracked dash pad, will fix prior to sale

Modifications
-Pacesetter Ceramic shorty headers
-Dynomax hi-flow cat
-Borla-XR1 muffler
-Dumped before rear axle
-Tubular BMI welded in sfc
-Slp intake/Whisper Lid

I also have a bunch of performance parts that I haven't installed along with a few things here and there that I will throw in with the car

-Aluminum driveshaft
-32MM swaybar with endlinks and bushings
-19MM swaybar with new MOOG endlinks and bushings
-new 02 sensor
-new serpentine belt and timing chain
-wheel well cover(forgot which side)
-badlanz full flow design electric cut out( never used)
-both door weatherstripping for a hard top
-random interior pieces, hvac, vents, etc
-5 spoke rims painted black
-stock white hood
-stock white spoiler
-new 160 tstat
-camaro taillight covers
-SLP manual fan switch wiring(new)
There's probably a ton of other stuff I'm forgetting but I will let it all go with the car.


Things you should know:
-The engine has been recently rebuilt around 120,XXX miles or so.
-The car has been in a driver side fender bender but was completely repaired down to the chassis.
-A/C needs to be recharged
-Driver side window is dead or probably switch needs to be replaced
-Regular maintenance done
-Car runs strong and healthy
-Engine bay is DIRTY
-Carpet in the hatch is missing a little bit, but I will get this fixed prior to sale
-All speakers still work flawlessly
-There are SOME spots where the paint shop missed but will get them at no charge. I will try to get this done and show pictures prior to sale
-There are no mechanical issues with this car
-It has an aftermarket alarm(simple lock/unlock) but the OEM alarm was never completely removed. It interferes with each other every now and then and will just set the alarm off, all you have to do is turn the car on. Probably a simple electrical issue that someone can fix.

Please let me know if you have any questions. I have all receipts on everything and will gladly show them when requested.
I have babied this car since I first got it at 18, I've had it for roughly two years and I really hate to see her go but I have to.

I will include an exhaust clip/drive by soon and update this thread as I make the repairs I mentioned.

No sale post is complete without pictures:

Thanks for looking everyone.

I would love to get that much but got no fishes to bite. I test drove a 98 vette the other day, they wanted 20k for it though so I backed away from that.

i've thought about it but i love DD the camaro

if i turbo it, it'll prob have to be high boost maybe 10-15psi? to see good power like that of the LS1. I'd just rather have a stock ls1 with exhaust, intake, maybe a small cam or not, just seems more dependable to me.
