Default what is my car worth?

i have a 1997 trans am, green with t-tops, leather, power everything, pioneed cd player. the car has 75,000 miles on it with 14,000 on a rubilt motor. it also has new port and polished heads with manley valves, titanium retainers, 10* locks, comp springs good to 600 lift, new timing set, new opti, plugs, wires, 02 sensors.

mods are: long tube headers, x pipe with bullet mufflers, intake, u/d pulley, zoom clutch.

the body has a little dent in the back, easy fix and the interior is in good shape.

so what do you think its worth? im looking at getting a ls1 so i just wanna see if i can get what i owe on the car? thanks.

Generally mods do not increase the value of the car.
Ive seen in several cases where it actually hurt it.
I guess mainly becuase they figure its been raced/abused.
But then again it all depends on your buyer.

At least 5-6k. Possibly more if you could convince the buyer of the value in the new motor.
