You'd do better unmodding it and selling the parts and putting the car on ebay.
Reverse math.... I always figure a car to be at least worth 10% more than dealers are offering b/c
1. Dealers need/want to make a profit on your car.
2. Dealers know that you're trading in the car on another car, you're going to save the sales tax usually 7-10% (varies by location) on the trade in value.
Those 2 things means they're never going to offer you anywhere near fair market value. UNLESS they're making a killing on selling you another car. ex: if you're buying a GT350 at $10k over MSRP, they might throw you a bone and pay KBB value for your car.
My advice: put the car on ebay with a reserve price of $41k, starting bid $1. Then relist it once lowing the reserve to your real lowest reserve, that will get all of the people who were interested / watching the first time to get a little more serious.
I had the same problem with my "toy" cars. I had very low miles, garage kept, modded cars, and the dealers were trying to show me average Black Book values. Sorry, my car(s) are not average in any way.
My last 2 low miles "toy" cars:
2006 Porsche Cayman S I got $5,800 more &
2014 Mustang GT Prem Convert I got $2,500 more
than my trade offers by selling on ebay.
