I have no idea what those mods would cost but finding a buyer that appreciates what you have done with the car is the most important step. Personally I think your $11,500 price is a good deal for you. Afterall it is a 13 year old car that needs a new top. You can't re-coup mod $$ in most instances or just about 25-33% of the mods original costs. You would have to figure that out. If $10,000 in mods then add about 25% of that, which is $2,500 to the price of an average '98 T/A. That's why I'm guessing that $11,500 you suggested would be a good deal for you. Good luck!

I think the car alone would be $6,500 tops. Then add for the mods.

Depending on the buyer, mods can help or hurt your asking price. TA's are not selling at book value right now unless it is a specific color or option combo with the right buyer.
M6s are selling higher becasue they are harder to find, and more people prefer coupes over verts to you're looking for a pretty specific buyer. You'll need someone who wants the mods, otherwise I think you'll get something in the $7500-9000 range.
