Will be selling my car soon. How much will be reasonable?

Ok due to the fact that i seemed to be getting screwed from everyone these days including my dad. I will be selling my car with in the next 3-4 months. I might be selling with out the 383 & blower, and selling with the old rebuilt 350. I really dont know engine specs but it ran 13.2 on DR's just on the engine and stock exhaust. What would be a good asking price with the old 350 in the car? I was thinking around $4,000 maybe $5,000. Look at the paint and plus other things will be done before selling like suspension and subframes and maybe a 8 point cage.
What should I ask for if I was to sell it with the 383 blower setup i will be running? Will also include all suspension subframes cage new trans new rear end and interior. I was maybe thinking $8,000-$10,000 **** i currently have $9,000 invested into the car and about $3,000 more to go not including my system that is going to run me $2,000 and the alarm $300. If anyone can help thats cool.

With the condition of the car, and the mods, i think that 5000 would be very reasonable. If i was looking for another thirdgen, i wouldnt mind at all spending 5K for it. If i were selling it, i would put $6000 OBO.

if you don't have any luck selling your unique vehicle locally, you might try listing it on ebay motors.

I was trying to sell mine a while back for $4,500 and there were no buyers so our cars just top out in price around 4k-5k. Even at the 4k level buyers are thin I guess do to the fact that LT1 4th gens start at around 6500.

I think I am going to go with what 1982chevycamaroz28 said. But the only problem the reason I am getting screwed is because of that engine. I had the money to my pops almost 2 months agoa dn he said he ordered it right after i gave him the money. Money to pops on Sunday and ordered the engine Tuesday 2 day time span. Now its been 2 months. No Dam engine. He said he ordered it and i seriously think he didn't I hope I am wrong for the old mans sake otherwise we are going to put the gloves on for a couple of rounds. Maybe go a little blood sport with the taped hands and broken glass. I think I have the wrong movie title but VANDAME is in it all of his movies are the same.

I think Bloodsport is right.

No way it was either Kickboxer or American Kickboxer. Blood sport was when he fought Bolo Yeung(sp?).

So i guess everyone wants me to put the gloves on with pops. He might kick my A$$ for a old man. He use to box and was pretty damn good. And know that everyone mentioned it it was Kickboxer. And that cody kid was in the latter movies i think they made like 3 or 4

thats kool that ur decieding that ur keepin with it for awhile. but just keep on his *** about ordering the engine. becuz so or a later he will get it done but if he doesnt just ask him who his is goin to order it from and just get the number from ur dad and call the company ur self and order it so that u know its been done. thats what i would do.

I am one step ahead of ya. I found out from my sister who talked to him on saturday that the engine came in and they were sending it to the shop to be assembled by a professional. Which is good cause i don't want my dad to do that $hit and the have him wind up killing me. That would suck. Well I also found out last night that my friend who sold his 94 Mustang GT jsut bought a 2001 Mustang Saleen Cobra. You are probably saying they don't make those. Oh they did. The car looks friggen sweet. I don't like mustangs but everyone he has owned has looked awesome. It is a true cobra with all the saleen parts from the factory. It was a special order car, it has 350 miles on it. the guy who owned it knocked up his wife and she had triplets. i guess that is a good way of telling your husband that you dont want a sports car in the house.
