One of a total of 244 WS6 formula's, exactly 10X scarcer than the '98 WS6 trans ams. Would be helpful if you could find the month of production. Anything built after in May '98 or later has the potential for the roof paint bubbling. March or earlier and it's clear. April is swing month....could go either way. An early panel that won't bubble would be a big plus to me. How many owners? Rear end upgraded to accommodate those extra hp + 4.10's?

On the information provided above, and assuming a well kept 41K miles, a stock WS6 M6 trans am with that mileage is probably around $12K. The mods would not appeal to most people. The formula M6 scarcity in black is also a big plus (+$1K min). Depending on the buyer I'd say $12K to $14K. Formula, pre-March build, 3 owners or less would be ideal.

Thanks, edited OP. I guess $20K is stretching it. But that's what I think it's worth.

Yeah, that's just wishful thinking. I think mine is worth $20k too, but 'worth' doesn't equal a sales price. All my cars are worth much more than anyone would pay for them. That's the way it is.
As stated above, $12k would be absolute top $$ IMO and even that might be impossible with the mods. 'Done right' in your description is a term that applies to you and maybe only a few others will share that opinion. Many will not feel that way. All sellers must remember that a modded 6 speed car appeals generally to younger males. That demographic is the toughest to sell to because most don't have the cash. How many 20+ year olds have $10k laying around right now?? Loans are tough, if not impossible for a modded 17 year old car as well.
If you do sell, best of luck. This time of year is a good time to sell. Give it a shot. No harm in trying. There may be someone out there right now looking exactly for what you have.
