valve springs, and chrome-moly push rods; titanium valve spring retainers
high performance custom ground roller camshaft
High performance torque converter-2400 RPM
Headers

Complete Corsa Exhust including X-Pipe
Transmission shift kit
cold air induction system

If the "few" that are interested know it's $20k then no, all it takes is one.

I think you are about 5 or 6 thousand higher than market value.
Most buyers would not care that you did all those mods to the vehicle.
They were important to you, but not to the average person looking to own a Corvette.
With the price you are asking, it appears you are trying to recoup all of the money you spent on mods, and I don't think that is possible.

If you can find them with only 13K miles, regardless of mods, for $14K buy every one you find. I do agree about mods and what they add...little if anything but it's still a very low mileage Vert.

With the miles and nice mods on the car, I'd say you may be a tad high on the asking price, but as they say, you can always come down a bit if needed. I'd probably ask somewhere in the $18.5K range if it were me selling it.
