Default whats this car worth in the NE region?

well guys, im not really thinking of selling this, but, i am in college ATM and sometimes the temtation to sell for all the extra cash is pretty strong. anyway, im just curious what you guys think this thing would sell for in PA or NJ or NY.

its a 99 formy, NBM, 90,500 miles with about 5-6 thousand miles on all the mods im about to list (yes, i know mods dont really add value to a car, but, stripping them and going back to stock would be more hassel then its worth for me since i couldnt do that work myself really)

engine mods:
11.0:1 Compression 59cc Patriot Perf. LS6 Ported cylinder heads
Fully CNC Ported, 2.02 Intake 1.57 Exhaust Stainless Steel Under Cut Valves
Patriot Gold .650" Dual Springs
Whisper Lid
Bronze Guides
Titanium Retainers
5 Angle Valve Job
Rev Valves
Super 7 Locks
Hardened Steel Spring Bases
Viton Seals
Patriot Performance Camshaft
Comp Cams Hardened Push Rods
180o Thermostat
Ported and Polished Throttle Body
NGK TR55 Spark Plugs
LS6 intake

exaust:
flow tech long tube coated headers and Y pipe
SLP high flow cats
GMMG cat-back

Misc:
brand new 17x9.5 fikse profil 5S wheels
bilstien HD shocks (put on 3k miles ago)
spec stage II clutch and new clutch hydrolics
spohn SFC
spark plugs will be freshly changed and oil

car was tuned at TTP a few months ago after the intake was put on, it made 395hp at 6200 and 370tq. recent pics are on the wheels board. but, the car is in VERY good condition.

and.... finally, i know the thing that will kill me is..... its a salvage title.

anyway, i know i probably couldnt get what i wanted for it, but, any guesses?

10k maybe, im just shootings # out there, its a rebuild title + higher milage on the body. Mods are a consideration but selling the mods seperately my get you some money.

Post this in the forsale section, put a price on it and see if anyone bites.

He is trying to sell on a salvage title too, but his car has more mods, is a WS6, less miles, etc.
I would find this car harder to sell, probably closer to 8-9K?

yeah, i was kinda guessing that. i forgot to mention that the car also has a spec II clutch in it and new clutch hydrolics(sp?) too. im also guessing if i sold it i'd do alot better if i sold the fikse wheels seperate. anyone else actually see a salvage titled car in this type of shape sell? i too am very surprised the TA didnt sell yet, 10,500 seems to be a steel. like people point out, just because its a salvage doesnt mean its junk.... no one ever guesses my car is a salvage title, and i havent even had a "car" person or a mechanic ask about it. infact the garage that did the state inspection for the car so i could get a PA salvage title couldnt even tell the car was ever recked.

anyway, i know that the fact that its a H/C car and a salvage title really limits the people who would want it.

thanks for the replies so far, and thanks for that link. anyone else have any ideas? looks like its probably not worth selling.
