Yes.

You can sell the code under the GPL license.  You must provide to the 
customer the source code either directly or available as a download site 
for some period of time as specified in the license details.

You can not restrict what your customer does with the GPL code you sold 
them.  They can put the source code on their web site for free download, 
or can sell it to others.

Or the customer could decide to not to redistribute to others the code 
they paid money for.
