98 WS6 Vert Just curious what my car was worth. Thinking about seeing if someone with a T-Top wants to trade or something like that.
Car is a 1998 Trans AM WS6 Vert.
Silver (Was originally white, previous owner painted it silver)
Ebony Interior
6spd
just rolled 60k miles before I put it away for the winter.
Mods:
All mods are new and have less than 200mi on them unless otherwise listed.
-SA Konis on all 4 corners
-BMR lowering springs
-BMR Adjustable PHB
-BMR Tubular LCA
-BMR STB
-BMR F/R Sway bars
-Spohn tubualr upper control arm (bought used unsure on mileage, looked quite new when installed)
-Drilled and slotted rotors with pads (sponsor on here)
-Machined Face C5DD wheels with Toyo R888 tires (275 and 315) (600mi)
-Used MGW short shifter
-Ported LS6 intake (smoothed and painted gloss black)
-Ported MAF ends
-SLP Lid
-Free Ram Air mod
-Air and EGR delete
-Pacesetter Ceramic Coated long tubes
-TSP True duals with chambered mufflers
-Corsica Clone tips
-LCM Truck housings Hi and Low
-DDM Tuning Hids (6000k) Lows and Fogs
-Interior courtesy lighting pure white leds
-LED switchbacks for front turns
-Clear side markers
-CETA Mod and stripes in Plastidip
-Wheel wells lined with truck bed liner
-Underbody coated with rust converting/proofing undercoat (except engine bay, waiting until I drop the drivetrain to do it all at once)
-10 bolt cleaned and painted black
Two mods that came with the car
-upper 230's low 240's cam
-4.56 gears
Bad things:
-Couple paint chips here and there
-Trans needs to be rebuilt (3/4 synco is gone but will be the first thing done)
-Top of rear glass separated from top
-No stereo (I just used the one from my beater)
-No key fob
-Electric locks don't work, haven't figured that out yet
-And the normal slow f-body windows
-I cnc'd my own shift **** at work so that would probably be the only thing I would want to keep
It has been tuned after all of the modifications.
*Addition parts that I have yet to install*
-Poly Motot Mounts
-Spec 3+ Clutch
Here's some pictures:
Figure I'll start it out with a funny one (This was before any of the modifications, besides the PlastiDip)
Kinda blurry sorry

Normally your WS6 'vert would be in the $9,000 - $10,000 range with those 60,000 miles. Unfortunately you aren't going to be close to that with the negatives you have listed. How was that re-paint done? I'm hoping the engine area and door jambs were done too (I can't really tell by the photos). No radio, bad tranny, etc... just really negate value. The mods don't compensate for the shortfalls, especially with very few buyers paying extra for mods right now. I'm not sure you could get even $7,000 'as is'. Those repairs add up.
Your right about a trade possibly being the best option. You never know who is looking, or for what.
