Default whats my ride worth?? 96 Formula WS6

Im just wondering what my car is worth. Its a 96 Formula WS6 M6 hardtop with cloth interior. (racer Package) Its now got 29,300 miles on it and its in mint shape. At least the best shape it can be for the age and miles. Just won a best in class car show with it to give you an idea on its condition.
In 96 524 formula WS6s were made and out of those only 105 were red. The number drops alot with hardtop, 6sp, and cloth int.
What do you think its worth???????
Thanks

Nice LOW mileage!! That car has lots of potential as a collector but not yet, not for another 10-15 years at least. We are still on the 'downside' of collector status pricing. If you had to sell now, which I hope you don't, you would be fortunate to get $8,000 and that would be lucky. My first F-Body was a new Formula back in July '96 and I only put 40k on mine before getting my current ride. I should have kept mine for what I got for it.

I have $8000 in hand and would come up to IL and pick it up.....and I dont really want a LT1 car. You should be able to get $10K-12K for it if you dont have to sell right away...hold out for the right buyer.

I wouldnt sell it! This is my 4th f-body i had a 96 v6, a 97 Formula M6, a 00 Formula Nhra package and now this one. A 96-97 Formula WS6 was always my dream car back then. I found this one at a dealer down the street from my work and once I stopped and looked at it I had to have it!!!!!! It was owned by an older doctor that bought it new as a weekend car and finally traded it for a new Vette.
Lucky me!!!!!!!!!!
I have plans for this one. It will be fast!!!!!!!!!!!!! Faster than my old 97 and that went 11.20s at 120+

I believe in years to come that is going to be one of the rarest cars. I think you could get 10-13 for your car being as rare as it is. Basically a stripper formula with all the go fast goodies.
