I just wanted to finish this thread out in case anyone was curious. I ended up getting a somewhat cold-call from a dealership I was looking for cars at and asked. I told her about the overall condition of the car and she came back with a trade-in offer of $16,700. With the sales-tax advantage in my state, that's basically an offer of $17,700. I spend the next day taking off all of the bolt-ons (and replacing with stock parts) and I'm in the process of selling the aftermarket parts (which would have gone to the next owner if I sold it private party).
Trading the car in has been a net-positive for me, financially. I miss the car, though.
