2002 NBM Firehawk M6
2002 NBM Firehawk M6 I may be in the market of selling my car here. Just want a change I guess.
It is a 2002 NBM Firehawk M6
I have modded it quite extensively to say the least.
I do have all the OEM parts that were removed aside from the exhaust (that was hacked to pieces)
The car has 72k miles but the transmission was replaced with a brand new OEM one about a month after I bought it (now I know why the prior owner traded it in) so the T56 has maybe 20k miles since 2007.
The motor is no longer an LS1 but rather a 5.3 LM7 with same mileage. 72k.
The motor has arp rod bolts and ls6 heads and TSP's boost cam.
It also has a truck manifold FMIC turbo set up.The Turbo is a MP T70 .96ar. The car also has a Moser 9" full spool with 3.89 gears and a Spohn adjustable TA with LCA and a panhard bar all after market.
Motron 60# injectors and a Racetronix fuel pump feed the motor the fuel it requires.
I know people may want numbers so here they are. 524 hp 488 tq on 12 psi. The tuner told me the car kept taking timing and could definitely see more boost thrown at it. The car does have a set of black C5 Z06 wheels with studs as the standard. The picture is of the car as it stands with the turbo kit. I was very cautious not to cut the car for the kit more than I had to (i.e. the front bumper license plate area)
I am just trying to get a feel for what would be a decent asking price.

Tough call. I have been searching for a Firehawk for quite some time now and have seen every year, color, mileage, mods, etc. No secret that modded cars have a smaller pool of potential buyers. I could point you to two that have a few less miles but are modded and have been listed in the $15,000 - $16,000 range for close to a year.
In all honesty, and this is just my opinion, depending on the appetite of the buyer, you'd probably attract the most interest listing it for about $12,000. Again, just my opinion based on what I've seen over the last twelve months.
Unfortunately, your car will probably be a bit of a challenge to sell....or you may get lucky and the car will pop for someone right away. Modded cars are difficult to price. You may want to read the sticky thread ("Suggestions For Pricing Your Vehicle") on this board for some additional input.
Good luck to you.

Thanks fior the advice and reply. I know that I won't get anywhere near the money I spent, but I also don't plan on giving my car away either lol. So I will have to figure out what the happy medium is.

This will be an extremely difficult sale. Definitely give it a try but I can't imagine anyone laying out 5 figures for this car with so many changes from it's originality, especially the engine. Absolutely no collector interest. It won't surprise me if you have to go the 'trade-in' route to get anything out of it. I hope you don't because I know you will be upfront with the buyer. Imagine a used car salesman selling this car to an unsuspecting 
for top $$$. It hurts to think about it.
