I think just about anyone on this forum and this particular topic would know that the 2001 SW was the rarest ZO6 color built. That's why I stated (and was simply quoting member C5_LS6) "THE RAREST COLOR WITH 405HP."

The industry revolves around KBB.com and the Manheim auction sales results. These prices can vary significantly, both regionally and seasonally.
Also, the more the car is modded, the more narrow the potential audience becomes. A heavily modded car will typically make the average buyer uncomfortable. Finding an enthusiast and convincing him that yours is the car if his dreams is easier said than done.
As they say in the car business, "There is an *** for every seat." But, at the end of the day, it's only worth what someone will stroke a check for.

While these are all valid points, the irony is the ones with the most invested in the value of these cars are the same ones who have the most influence on that value -
THE OWNERS.
The more owners you have that will sell what should be a ~$20k car for $14k, or take ~$9-$11k when trading it in the value suffers. Ultimately the car is worth what someone will pay, but only if the OWNER will sell it for that.

Another reference point: I paid $28K for a 2004 Z06, red/mod red, one owner, 15K miles. Absolutely flawless in every way.
I willingly paid a premium for the condition of the car, and I do not regret it for a second.

Bought my TR new, three years use as a SCCA National Tour car (trailered not many miles) modes, expensive DA shocks. Next it took me to my 150mph club at Bonneville (it took twelve passes, and two seasons to make it in), and a few track days. It has been driven across Europe for a month seeing 163 mph on an open section of the A24. Taken me across the US three time, and one trip to Alaska. It's been driven in all weather conditions. It's eaten more brakes, and tires then I (or my wife wants to know). I'v repaired the ABS Module, four serpentine belts along with two sets of pulleys, and one air conditioner clutch.
Oh and it's getting close to the big Century mark on the clock.
The Z cost me upper $40s new, but is PRICELESS now.

I found that NADA was quite accurate when I was shopping for my Z06; Edmunds values were all low-ball and KBB values were all gouging.

modded cars get about .25 on the dollar, used parts are .50-70 on the dollar. you'll make a good chunk more, but, will have to sell piece by pice
as for the OP, an 04 with 57k in very good shape should be a low 20s car. at 20k it should sell quick, 21-22k not out of the question at all
a local dealer sold an 04 with 96k on it for 18k last year, private that would have been a 16-16.5k car most likely
completed ebay shows you what buys are actually paying
the car is unlikely to ever sell at 26k
