Check out CL and see what fbodies in similar condition/mileage are going for in your area. It depends largely on market conditions and demand.
I would say $8,500 would be a good price point to start at if you're wanting to sell it

Like BigBirdLS1 said, "It's worth whatever someone is willing to pay."
Unfortunately, it has been my personal experience that most — not all, but most — buyers don't necessarily put the same value on a modified car as those of us who have made the modifications. Many buyers seem to prefer purchasing a car as close to stock as possible and modifying their way. So, I hate to be the bearer of disconcerting news, but you may not earn much of a return, if any, on your investments in your upgrades.
By your description, it sounds like you've got some great wheels and tires. You may consider removing them, posting them for sale locally, here on LS1 Tech.com, Craigslist, or even ebay, and installing a set of used factory wheels and tires in their place, if you can find these alternates at a price that you feel is reasonable. You may be able to recoup a nice amount of money on your C6 rims and Nittos this way.
If nothing else, I would consider showing potential buyers any invoices and receipts, if you've kept them, for the upgrades that you've purchased. This will demonstrate that you're a conscientious owner and may help earn you dividends on your sale, if you decide to make it.
That's just my opinion — take it for what you think it's worth.
Good luck with your decision — I wish you the best and the greatest financial gain!
