I'm thinking about selling my 98 Torch Red coupe with 38k on it. It's pretty bare bones as far as options. No fog lamps or dual air. Mods are Y2K crome wheels, C6 zo6 swaybars, Dyna Tech catback, TEA stage 1 heads, LG Street pro headers, Texas Speed 224 Cam LS7 lifters with Comp Pushrods and a FAST stock sized TB intake. The car was Dyno Tuned and put down 399RWHP and I think it was 390TQ. The car is a Garage Queen and is in top condition.

I put about 2k miles on it this year and I'm just tring to justify owning it when it just sits in the garage, so I'm just wondering what its really worth.

If it were me, I'd be getting it out of the garage and putting more miles on the car. It has some very nice mods done to it and should be a blast to drive. As far as what it's worth - that will depend on whether a buyer will want the mods you have done or not. For me, it would be worth around $17-18K - perhaps a bit more. One thing is for sure, it looks very good in the pic.

Wow, I was thinking 16k to 15k maybe I'll start at 17k and go from there.

I would say 15K. But if you're in no rush to sell it, just price it higher and play the waiting game (17-18K).
