Was looking to possibly buy a Shelby

I think $38k would be a stretch, even private party. But you might be able to clear $30k PP with your mods if you find the right buyer. You could probably take KBB on your car + maybe 50% of the value of your mods to get an idea of what you might be able to realistically get for it.

I haven't seen anything actually go for that. People ask it, doesn't mean people will pay.

This right here is correct.
Not only that but you have to find someone willing to buy a car that has been worked on to this magnitude. Most modders like to oversee or do there own cars. Buying a FI'd vehicle from a complete stranger is an extremely high risk. So if you expect any kind of money for your mods. Part them out and sell them. Then bring your car back to stock.

Not only that, but modders have their own unique tastes, so what I've modded in my car as the seller may not be what you the buyer would have done (performance or aesthetic-wise). Plus some people eschew mods altogether and just want a bone stock car.

So yeah, parting the car is the only way to get anything back, and returning to stock means an easier sale.
