I have an oppt to buy a really nice street Porsche and am wondering what my race car would go for these days.
Its the former Grantsfo pirate ship... been sitting here unused for the last 2 years... and I've used it twice... Yeah, I know. Here's a short list of things: '74 low mile chassis FG trunks, bumpers, and flares 5-6 year old 2.5 purpose built /6 motor, carb, twin plug LSD transmission 5 lug / full suspension Cage Kirkley seat 2 sets of wheels Known issues: LSD slips Engine smokes after sitting long periods Carbs likely need cleaning Package would include nice Carson steel open deck trailer. What's it worth? Attached thumbnail(s) |

Rob, 1 point of data here, I got about $7000 for my car, you saw it and you thought it was worth a lot more. It had a couple of problems, it failed a leakdown test so they paid for the parts and I did the labor to fix it. They asked me to fix another smallish problem or two, I fixed them to make the sale. They wanted a couple of extra things done and they paid me for those so it ended up going from $5000 to $7000. I had about $12,000 in it and I never bought anything besides oil for retail prices and about 100 hours of work for every 1 hour of track time.
It took me months to sell it. 4 years ago it would have sold fast for $7500. It was hard all the way around, but I hope they're enjoying the car at least 1/2 as much as I did. Now, as you well know, I am the utmost king of lazy, I train lazy asses to improve their skills. I'm the president of the local lazy ass club. I think you should get off your lazy ass and go to the track! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
