Sorry, but the price is high, high high.
New C6 Coupes are less than what you are asking.
Used C6 Verts are in line with what you ask.
On mods - figure a return on investment between 25 & 33%.
See KBB for pricing on the market. Add mod % $.

I picked up my annie convertible with even less miles for considerably less, but it didn't have teh mods of yours.
Only the big ticket mods will interest folks. But the good news is at that price you can keep it longer!

Your best bet is to strip off most of the mods and sell them off individually. You will not even recoupe half of what you paid for them on the car. You could post a list on the 50th Registry and see if you get any interest on them. Since everyone on the Registry ownes AE's you have a good chance of selling it.
Good Luck
