Default Built z28...whats it worth?

Wondering what my car would be worth if I were to sell it. Car is a 1996 with 142k on the clock. 6 Spd, T tops, leather Loaded. all engine mods have about 2k on them
Mods:
Stage 2 Ram Clutch w/ pro 5.0 short throw
Rebuilt t56 @ 82k
3.73's
flowmaster catback, from Pacesetter LT's and ORY w/ cutout
lowered 1.5 on KYB full suspension
300$ headunit with hidden compartment for ipod
SLP cold air intake w/ elbow
LE2 205 heads
227/235 110 lsa custom ground lunati cam
beehive springs
1.6 roller rockers
hardened pushrods
ls7 lifters
ported intake
all ARP bolts
new timing set, spark plugs, wires, sleeves etc.
MSD opti, ignition, 6200 rev limiter
New radiator
Dyno Tuned @ 431rwhp and 413 ft lbs.
I'm sure i missed a thing or two, but basically it's a fully loaded full bolt on with suspension and a Heads/cam/intake car. Tuned for being a daily, drives like stock but with a pretty choppy idle.

Generally the parts don't increase the value of the car as much as the overall condition of the car. Things like paint, body, etc. are more important, IMO. Having said that, if everything is immaculate and there are no issues I would estimate somewhere between $5000 and $6000.

It also depends on your demographic.

Ramair95TA above listed his verified 10 second car with full engine build 455rwhp and all for $10K a couple years ago and still has it so IMO $7500 would be a pipe dream.

I think 5000-7000 depending on how it looks and runs and who tries to buy it.

That's a healthy lt1, sounds like I need a set of heads

I have mine up for $6,000 without 10 spokes, SS spoiler and spare 10 bolt. Pretty much same as your build (except I'm on stock heads). I just did a complete repaint on mine as well. Looks better than factory.

Yeah, bottom end was rebuilt by previous owner...to stock specs which IMO was a complete waste. But yeah It's healthy. More than likely keeping it for a few more years until it turns Into a money pit. Lol.
