If, you know, I were selling it, and you were looking for a GC/GM car with a legal BAR'd swap? You can brutally honest, my feelings won't be hurt. I'm not looking to sell it now, but I may in the coming future. I have no idea what it's worth, so I'm asking what it's worth you.

It's a build in progress, but I'm at a crossroads. Got 3 kids now, just don't see myself racing much, and I hate to see it parked in my driveway/garage for years on end with little use. I don't see myself ever building all out racecar like I once thought. It's in many ways not returnable to fully street car. So it's in between. If you can live with what it no longer has, you'd have an excellent street car/daily that you can easily track or autox on a whim. I've won several region SCCA championships in the car in the street tire class. I'm not even close to maxing it out. Karlton is far better driver than me and he only needed 1 lap in it to be impressed and said it's far faster of a car than he realized. I'm probably leaving a lot of time out there, it's a great car that really handles well and communicates well. It's a finesse car, yet, has great power now.

Again, this is a feeler. I'm not sure I could just hand it over right now, but I know I will within the next year or so. If I left something out, you can let me know.

 

10-15? You know I'm cheap.

The lack of speaker wire is a killer though. Why did you rip that out?

If you're mad about it sitting, wanna rent it out?

 

 

Because Racecar?

Not really. Something happens, I'm on the hook.

 

How about rent it out at an AutoX so I can take more photos of it?

 

Yeah, that.

 

Keep the car to teach the kids how to drive/race. Problem solved.

 

 

Yup. I read his whole post. Don't care. I consider it a family heirloom Plus I am sure he can come up with a booster seat and some foot pegs to get them into the car much earlier. Or start driving them around ***** out fast to get them used to sense of speed?

 

Well, they are 4 and less than a year for the twins. So we are talking another decade+ before I could do that. I get to drive it so little these days, it doesn't deserve that.

Anyways, how much do you think it's worth?

LOL

 

If only my name was Bunta and I owned a Tofu Shop that needs to deliver to the hotel at the lake at the top of a mountain...

 

Dude, I am cheap Russian Jew accountant...I am the worst person to ask this question Even if you paid me to take the car I would somehow convinced myself I could have gotten a better deal.

Okay. May be think of it as an investment? If beat-up-almost-roller-chassis RS's are going for $7k+...just imagine what they will fetch in 10 years!

 

Don't forget your cup of water.


I should watch that show...

Put a number!

 

Okay...hold on...I need to convert to it from mail order brides and AKs...

 

I'd say 12-15k sounds right although it might take you a while to find the right buyer.
