It is still worth every penny of that initial $12,000 to you. It looks great!
If you had to sell it with those mods, probably quite a bit less though. I'm sure you have read many of the posts here indicating how tough it is to sell modded cars for decent money, even the low mileage cars. Enjoy it!

I guess you never get your money back. Especially with a h/c/i ls1.

If your car was a 99 it'd still be worth the 12000

Are you going by the blue book value?

That and because 98's are less desireable in general, I sold a 1999 ws6 automatic with 93000 miles for 9500

I guess it would be cheaper to build the ws6 than to buy a c6

Not usually. Once the modding starts, forget it.

Sweet looking bird!

I think that is a good price, nothing less than 10k. I would shoot to get 11k.

But I say keep it!

Yeah I am just going to keep it. I actually had one person offer me $14. Thats the highest but I still wouldnt be able to get a C5/C6.
