Hard to say. It's difficult sometimes to sell cars like that, that are modified. People are looking for used 03s, 04s. The GT500 will be extremely marked up, some are looking between $40k as msrp and up to $60k out the door will fair market adjustment.
 
I would price your car around $14,000 if it was stock. You won't get what you put into it unfortantely and the dealers won't give you crap on trade. With your goodies on the car, I could see paying around $17,000 to $18,000 for your car.
 
High book on it is $15,400. Mods to a car do two things. They make it look really attractive to about 1 out of 1000 people that are shopping for a Cobra. That one guy that's looking for a car just like yours and is willing to pay you for it. Odds are, he's not going to give you anything more than book or a little more. To the other 999 people, they think it's been horribly abused and raced and wouldn't even think about buying it. A lot of dealers would even decline to take it on trade because they would never be able to sell it with any kind of warranty. It sounds like a great car. Unfortunately, this is not a case where a $15,000 car plus $10,000 of modifcations equals a $25,000 car. Probably more like 15+10=12 unless that one guy is out there. :shrug: The best place to find that guy is on eBay.
