To the right person, looking at all the Mods and it's something they'd want do sooner or later, no price is out of the question so to speak. but in general, a heavily Modded car is kinda scary to a new buyer? Just my $0.02 ? When i bought my 2003 50th AE I really never thought about the price I could get down the road cause I wouldn't sell my car for any price. I've been offered a 2007 coupe, and to me, I passed. I like the C5, i wouldn't trade it for anything, well maybe a LS9 ! But . . .

Don't expect to get what you have in it. Once you mod the engine for performance, you are setting yourself to a select group of buyers. A stock 99 6 speed coupe private seller may get around $15,000.

Bood Luck.

It's worth as much as someone is willing to pay. Try a higher price at first, if you don't sell it, go lower. You'd be surprised at how much a nicely done-up Vette can sell for. Indy

If you want my opinion on what I have seen on the forum, ebay, craigslist, I wanna, Car Trader and from selling a custom vette and owning 2 more I would say anywhere betwee 13,000 low and high 20,000 dpending on the buyer. A good time to sell is truly now and the first of the year since some buyers are getting tax refund checks. Also early year car shows in April is a good time to sale because when people have that spring fever they tend to buy quick too. Good luck on your sale, Richard
