That's about as nice-looking as Camaros get. I think the lack of replies is based on a few different factors: no price, high mileage, being in the middle of nowhere (as far as I'm concerned), and lack of information about title, stock parts, and so on.
I am interested, but you have to start with a price and more information about the car.

Okay, sorry guys. Not sure what to say about the title, it's free and stored in my file cabinet.
The motor is stock except for a ported throttle body. It was computer tuned by a good friend of mine down in Sacramento, he does alot of cars around the north state and is known to be the master around here.
The only after market parts are the springs, wheels, and adjustable pan rod bar. I do have the stock springs, pan rod bar.
I didn't really think 100k miles on a ten year old car is high.
What do I want, as much as I can get for it
, but I am hoping for 11k, but I am open to offers on her.
I bought another car a few months back, have since got it on the road, looked in the shop and yard and went.... 10 cars, hmm I need to sell something. So I picked the car I was the least attached to....
She is the best running, handling and performing car I have. It's a blast to drive, but I wasn't ready to sell any of my classics so.... If I make it to the end of the year without selling it, I will probably end up keeping her.
Here are a few shots of her with my other vert..

Shop = you're a mechanic?
Anyway, here's what I believe is the typical outlook on high-mileage cars, at least those that cost decent money:
Collectors usually don't want them, because they're not 100% stock and the miles alone lower future resale value. (If yours were a 35th anniversary, perhaps the miles wouldn't be much of a deterrent.)
People who want daily drivers distrust high-mileage cars, because they're likely to break down.
Weekend drivers usually don't want 'em because almost by definition a weekend car isn't needed and why deal with all that when a more reliable car could be found.
I don't fit into any of those categories, and also I know that the LS1 engine and the transmission that comes with it often last a long time. And some of the cars look so good, they're hard to resist.
On the other hand, I also don't have much money, think badly of the convertible feature, and would prefer a Trans Am (WS6). So without a thorough inspection and a lower price, I think I'm out.
Personally, I think you should keep the car, if you don't plan on driving it much. But if it starts going bad, get rid of the money pit ASAP.

Yeah, I see what you are saying about collector's, frankly I can't really see this car being a collector car down the road, could be wrong but.....
This car was my daily driver actually, till I started running the kids to school in the morning, and my 17 year old, now going on 18 got his license and insurance got crazy expensive with him on the policy....
This car has been a rock solid reliable car really. I had to replace the A/C compressor, transmission mount and the top, and it does have one idler pulley chirping, but seems like that is a GM thing, my suburban is doing it also and it has all new idlers
What do you not like about the vert, frankly that was about the only reason I bought the car. It was the only vert on the market that had the performance, looks, features and could function as a daily driver in my price range at the time. The other camaro models didn't interest me at all. The roofed car that interested me was the CTS-V.

Convertible - more chance of damage and theft (hence, higher insurance rate). No sunlight when up, either, unlike T-tops, and probably lets in just as much heat as T-tops. Besides, I don't even like driving with the windows down 
I'll admit the contrast of your car's top with the red metal probably makes it look a little better.
If you want something similar that you and your son could use without having to pay high insurance costs, I think my current sports car would be it. Excluding heavy driving. Send a PM if you want to talk about a trade with cash. I'm reconsidering a bit since you car has been fixed up and probably cared for well. FYI - I think chirping is common with 4th-generation Camaros just like it is in the 4th-gen Firebird family.

but I bought another toy and should sell one. I have been going alone adding cars to collection and have not sold anything in years.
I picked up a 29 Model A, 5 window coupe that I have setup as a rat rod. They are both lots of fun, if only I could afford all the toys I desire eh?
