coming onto an enthusiast forum saying that you want to sell the car in your situation will piss off almost everyone on the forum because of the way you are handling it for the following reasons.

1. You entered a contest to win what is obviously the favorite car of all the members here, but you are selling it because its not a family car and your wife wont let you keep it. So basically, you took up a spot in a contest, and instead of a Z enthusiast winning it, it goes to some guy who's wife is making him sell it even though it was free. I've seen posts on here where guys went out and bought this car with MONEY, without asking their wives and didn't care if they got any sass about it. but you obviously are the polar opposite of this. You won the car, it was free, but your wife is in control so you can't even keep it.
2. you are trying to gouge the price up to the price it sells for new, because a 30k profit isn't good enough, you need it to be what... 35k? 37k?

You went about this all wrong. if you're gonna come on an enthusiast forum and try and sell a car that you WON FOR FREE, you say 'hey guys i won this car in this contest but i can't keep it, so i'll spread the love and sell it for a fair price, so that a real Z enthusiast can still enjoy this car and benefit from the fact that it was won in a sweepstakes(you don't need to mention that the reason is that your wife has your balls in her purse) You on the other hand decided to basically say 'hey guys, i won this car for free, i had it delivered to me because i dont even care about Z cars and didn't want to go to ZCON, my wife wont let me keep the car and i want to get as much money as possible for it because that is all that matters. so please place your bids. The extra money i gouge out of the buyer will go towards buying me a spine and a pair of balls'

when you initially posted, i did feel bad that you had to sell it and i felt bad that people were ragging on you. But seeing how you have dealt with this situation and how totally unappreciative you are, i don't feel bad for you, hence, my post.
