Default 1998 MTM Trans Am

Alright, I've been considering selling my T/A for something else with a little more room inside it. I've also been considering trades as well. Clean title in hand!
Here's what I've got...tell me what it's worth:

Yank SS 3600 stall (installed by Vengeance Racing)
aluminum drive shaft (installed by Vengeance Racing)
3:73 gears (installed by Vengeance Racing)
Line pressure increase and torque management delete by Vengeance Racing tune

Suspension:
Stock sway bars with poly bushings
BMR lowering springs (aprox. 1.5")

Double adjustable panhard bar

Rear Differential:
Stock 10 bolt rear 15,000 miles (installed by Vengeance Racing)

Professionally installed by myself....high end system
JVC EXAD AVX1 DVD head unit with 3" screen
CDT CL-E61CF (carbon fiber) 6.5" comps doors
CDT EF-8CF 8" (carbon fiber) subs in the sail panels
CDT HD SQ-12 2 x 12" subwoofers in hatch area
Rockford Fosgate Power 600.5 amplifier powers all speakers (extremely underrated amp....very powerful)
doors, hatch, and sails all have sound deadener
(Willing to install a different sound system in the car for prospective buyer if wanted)
Car has never been to the drag strip and the paint could use some freshening up in the front like most of these cars could that have been driven. Everything works, headlight motors replaced and modified so they will continue to work, window motor on drivers side replaced, new HD driving lights.
What's it worth? I am also looking at trading for a decent (not show car) GN, T-type or a Typhoon/Syclone. Car is quick and can be driven daily with no problem.

Help me out! Need to know what it might be worth so I know I'm not ripping someone off or getting ripped off. I know it's not worth much but it is a very nice, solid car that was well maintained. Runs awesome and is a torque monster. Lots of fun to drive. Audio system is insane.
I had back surgery awhile back in December and it's just not comfortable for me to get in and out of anymore. So I wanted something like a Typhoon that's a little more comfortable to get in and out of. I also would consider a nice 2-door full size 4x4 blazer as a trade as well.
I do not need to sell this car at all. I just think it would be more practical to have something else at this point. I love this car to death and my daughter has told me repeatedly that I can't sell it. Let me know what you think I can get for it so I can decide whether or not to sell it or start upgrading it again.

Not sure if you would be interested, but my dad has a Syclone he's been thinking of getting rid of.

I ain't an expert, but I think you could PROBABLY get 9000 for that, considering milage on the chassis.

I was thinking more along the lines of 5-6k considering the condition, mileage, and mods.

The mileage on the chassis is a consideration. That's the only thing in that car that hasn't been replaced...lol!
Thanks for your thoughts guys!

I was thinking 6500-7k, but a damn fool would pay 9 in the right market.

I will probably just keep it and out some more into it as I do enjoy it. I am looking for a Typhoon though if anyone has one that they would like to trade for my car straight up. My title is clean.
Also been looking for a nice 92-97 2 door Tahoe.
