Default Pricing Custom 2000 Vette

I have a 2000 convertible Vette, Bowling Green color, with custom chromed engine parts. Any advice on how to price the Vette to sell?

You might want to give more details and pictures of the car - that would help.

And moving this to C5 General for further discussion.

Ad Up all you spent on customizing it, look at that amount and know how much you lost customizing you’re car the way you liked it. What you like others might not. I’m not being rude, just stating a fact. I’m sure someone will like what you did, but you won’t get much if any of a return to what you spent.

What Crabr1 said, plus:
condition, paint/body, interior…
milage
pictures
factory options
modifications, you may not recover you investments, but they might make the car more attractive to a buyer.

With that info you'll get some suggestions 👍

Document the modifications. They may help the value, may not affect the value or could hurt the value.

When it come to modifications like this it is only of value if the buyer likes what you like.

some well done cars can add value but some can look like someone threw up Crayolas all over it and kill value

having any or all original parts to put back on is best to give the buyer the option to do their own thing.

FWIW, I paid 18K for my 2000 convertible with 43K on the clock. Also a one owner, well maintained six speed. No mods, completely stock except for a color matched ZR1 style rear spoiler.
