No one responds because it is rather repetitive (and depressing) to talk about the same situation over and over again. I'm sure you have read the numerous posts here over the past few years about heavily modded cars not getting decent money. Real sweet machines with very low miles not bringing any more than average KBB or NADA prices. Yours will fall into the same situation. Owners of modded cars rarely get anything extra for their rides. It used to be quite true that sellers could tack on an extra 25 - 33% of the mods original costs but it hasn't been that way since '08. Once in awhile some buyer will absolutely love the mods and car and will pay top $$, but that is the exception, not the rule. Look up whatever pricing guide you like, www.kbb.com or www.nada.com and see what your car might bring. Having an accident history and some slight issues won't help either. Your buyer's market is extremely limited to young male drivers who generally have little cash and can't get a loan for a car like yours. Tough sledding ahead unless you are quite fortunate. Sorry for the eye-opener if you were not aware. If you are selling, GLWS!!

There is a huge car show coming up that attracts 1000s of people and I'm putting in the show auction and wanted to know what kind of reserve I should put on it or what kind of Price to expect to see. This auction will be my chance to get the most for it

I think that is an excellent venue to see what money your car will bring. Only you can decide what the reserve should be as no one here will have your feelings or passion about your car. From a purely cold financial aspect, and from what you have described, I would set the reserve at $8,000. This may be outrageously low to you but it may indicate how others feel. I certainly hope that you can do a lot better than that but...
Best of luck with your efforts there at the auction and a follow-up would be nice to hear about. It would be helpful to others thinking along the same lines, whether positive or negative. There is nothing like 'real world' prices and experiences.

So I might as well strip off some of the good parts and sell them no since in letting them go with the car if I'm only going to get 8-9k for it
