So, I've had this car nearly 10 years. Bought it when I was 19! It's been a blast to drive and I've put a lot of time and money in modding it. But, I can't seem to shake my love for the C6 vettes and I'm thinking of buying a used Z06 or GS. I could keep the Camaro and have a big payment and two play toy cars, but that would be a bit expensive. So, I was wondering if some of y'all could help me come up with an asking price. I've seen similar heads/cam cars go for around $12k with similar mileage/year but most don't have some of the extras as mine. Any help would be appreciated! Here's the specs...
1998 Silver Z28 83k miles t top
m6 with Tick Performance level 2 upgrade, textralia oz700 z grip, Tick adj. master
stock bottom end with Katech rod bolts
TEA stg2 LS6 heads, 11.1:1 comp, custom ground cam (specd by Patrick G) 232/234; 612/593 112+2
Yella Terra rockers, FAST 90 ported by Tony Mamo at AFR, Nick Williams tb
Ported LS6 oil pump, QTP headers and ory, Magnaflow catback with Corsa clone tips
moser 9" with TruTrac and 4.30 gears
Koni da's f&r with H&R springs 650f/200r, Strano sways f&r
chrome ZR-1s with Nitto nt05s 275f 315r
VFN Sunoco hood, Sparco sport seats (also have stock leathers) on factory sliders
GM monsoon sound system, all options other than stering wheel radio controls and traction control
Almost forgot....makes 446rwhp and 394rwtq thru the 9"!!!
Sooooo, any thoughts?

I was thinking the same thing. $15k? No way. I've seen beautiful, low mileage SS Camaro's going for well under $10K.

I have a beautiful black 97 SS with 98,000 miles, a list of mods that goes forever, including a 396 LT1 making 430hp.

I wanted to do CMC. My options were sell my car, or turn it into a CMC car. Selling it would have been very tough, finding that one person looking for the exact same thing. It's funny because I always modify my cars in some way, yet I HATE buying a car that's anything other than stock. I would have had to just about give the car away.

Even though a lot of people think I'm crazy for cutting up such a pretty car, it is just a Camaro, they are a dime a dozen. I'm glad I decided to turn my car into a CMC car because as of today, I have sold nearly $5000 worth of stuff off of it. The SS hood and spoiler, $1000. The engine $3500.

Honestly, throw it up for $12K and see if it goes. No matter what you sell it for, you'll be happy once you have a shiny new C6 in your garage!
