Default Bolt-on 98 SS...no idea what to ask for it

I've had this car since 2008 and it's time to move on to a GTO. I'm really not sure what to ask for it. Any help would be appreciated!

1998 SS #1761
150k

Exterior:
New paint in fall of 2008
Billet grille with '69 SS emblem
Deep dish ZR1 style wheels, 18x10.5 rear, 17x9.5 front
Bridgestone Potenza RE760 tires 295/35/18, 265/14/17 at 142,000
Rear Berger panel with chrome inlays
CCFL projector halo headlights
Clear front corners
Red calipers

Performance:
SLP lid with K&N filter
Ported throttle body
LS6 intake manifold
Pacesetter longtube headers
Texas Speed off-road y-pipe
SLP dual/dual exhaust with a Hooker Aerochamber muffler
3-inch cutout
NGK TR55 plugs
MSD 8.5mm Super Conductor Wires
Aftermarket power steering fluid cooler
Horsepower House Dynotune

Suspension/Chassis:
UMI lower control arm relocation brackets
Hotchkis strut tower brace

Brakes:
Powerstop drilled rotors
Hawk pads

Drivetrain:
Texas Drivetrain Performance stage 2 T56 around 130,000
Monster stage 2 clutch, lightweight flywheel, and slave cylinder at 147,000
Hydraulic drill mod
Pro 5.0 shifter
Lou's short stick

Electronics:
Caspers PnP fuel pump harness
Pioneer head unit
Audiopipe APSM-1300 amp (1000 watts)
Fiberglass stealthbox with Resonant Engineering SE10
Kee Audio level 2 speaker upgrade:
CDT CL-61CV.2 6.5" Component Speaker System (doors)
CDT HD-6MSUB SVC Subwoofers (sailpanels)
CDT CL-4EX 4" Coaxial (hatch)

New paint in fall of 2008.

Recent (in the last 10k miles):
Clutch
Flywheel
Slave cylinder
Tires
Alternator
AC service
Differential fluid
Power steering pump
Plugs and wires

The car needs a power window motor. The interior is in good shape. The window tint is beginning to peel on the passenger side window, and is scratched on the back glass. The wheels have some curb rash.

6.5K + or - 1k depending on condition, looks really good in the pics, I might ask 7.5k to allow for negotiations. Curios how much did you spend on the repaint? It looks nice, but unfortunately your are getting a small % of value added compared to what you spent. I'd be a buyer at 5K, but I would just be looking to resale at 6.5-7

That's it, huh? I was hoping to get close to $10k. The repaint was $4k if I remember correctly. Thanks for the info.

Probably could ask $8k for it here in michigan.
I think the mods would help it sell pretty quick if someone is looking for modded car.

That paint is badass

Well I just sold an 01 ss with 120k for 7250, it was not as nice looking but it was 3 years newer and had 30k less miles. If someone really likes what you have done to the car it wouldn't be unreasonable to ask 10k, and see if you get anyone that looks at it and loves it, but I wouldn't expect to get 10

Thanks. I might put it on eBay with a $9k reserve and see what happens. It never hurts to try.

Finding someone who will lay out good money for a modded 16+ year old car with 150k on it is going to be a challenge, given that book value is around $4200 on it.

I think your best bet would be to start with 6k,

Then gather every bit of documentation you have, receipts, service etc.
Line item all of the upgrades with costs
Take that total and multiply by 25%
Add that to the the starting 6k. See what the brings you too, and it would be a handy selling aid.
