If it is set up "perfectly" and you'll never be able to afford to replace it then why even consider selling it?

I have a 91 247 M47 with IPD sways, poly bushings, Bilsteins, 15" wheel, wide Michelin rubber, fresh P&P head, VX cam, advanced cam gear, header, turbo pipes, electric fan, etc... And I'll never let it go.

As for getting $10k for your car...No way that'll never happen. Nobody pays real money for modified 240's. And the M47 5-speed may not be as desirable as you think. Sure gearheads like the 5-speed but most regular drivers prefer an automatic and auto 240's sell faster than sticks.
The only 240s that draw real money are MINT low mile STOCK examples.

Keep it. Drive it until it dies. That's what it's for.
