What is the Club's opinon of $ worth, of The Beast -- sans engine and trans Options

[nine14cats]

I would appreciate inputs from the 914Club collective as to what The Beast would fetch on the open market if I were to sell her without an engine and transmission. I'm talking fair market value.

Here are the specs:

*TonyC cage with Petty bar, tied in at the suspension points both front and rear
*Camber boxes up front
*Tube Frame rear
*Front and Rear suspension points raised 2 inches in the frame done right on a Celette bench
*Sheridan Narrow Body Kit Front and Rear
*Fiberglass Hoods
*Fuel Safe fuel cell with fuel starvation resevoir
*Fresh Powder Coated tub (white)
*Fresh Exterior paint by Yeaman Autobody (Yellow, Orange, or Red)
*WEVO shifter for 915 or 901 (Take your pick, I've got both)
*Smart Racing 27mm Front AR bar
*Advanced Design Ground Control 2 way adjustable shocks coil overs all 4 corners
*Spring rates TBD (I've got a bunch)
*23mm master cylinder
*Rebuilt pedal cluster
*JRZ 4 piston brake calipers front and rear
*Cockpit adjustable brake bias valve
*Front Oil Cooler big enough for a 993 3.6
*20 quart front mount oil tank (Partick Motorsports)
*Carbon Fiber rear wing with 0,3, and 7 degree angle adjustments
*Smart Racing quick disconnect steering wheel hub (Momo steering wheel included)
*Mueller's Roller Bearing suspension
*Rich Johnson bulkhead -6 mount
*Sparco EVO2 Racing Seats
*Teamtech 5 point harnesses
*Fire bottle
*Lexan rear window
*(8) 16x10 Diamond Racing Wheels with Hoosier slicks (23.5x11.5x16)
*Rebuilt steering rack

This will be a nicely done track car that can also be a TTOD car at local AX's (narrow body) and fresh paint, suspension, and tires.

I am debating how far to take it. Obviously, if I keep it, I have to sell Fritz. If I keep Fritz, I have to sell The Beast. And there lies the rub. Do I go to the added expense of adding a drive train, or is it a push on cost vs. recovered cost?

I have a 901 MSX box and no motor right now, but it may be just the same to sell the above sans motor and transaxle.

What do you think the car is worth as stated in the above configuration?

Thanks in advance for everyone's help!

Hi Bill,

Are you having second thoughts? I was under the impression that when you bought Fritz it was with the intention of getting rid of the Beast. Or was that J-Lo? Man I can't keep up with you rich folks (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

How much of the car is together vs. how much is there left to do (I'm trying to remember from your previous threads on the subject). My guess from your description is that everything has been done to the tub short of paint, and all the parts are in boxes.

I'm not sure of dollar amounts, you might get $10k for everything in the lot, more if you sell it off piece by piece. Maybe $15k as a fresh built car minus the drivetrain (after putting $7500 more into paint and assembly) .

Here's a thought; if Fritz's engine is well sorted why not put it in the Beast? You may get more (or lessen the loss) by selling the 911 chassis vs. the 914.

But the short answer is I think it's worth more than 95% of us would or could pay for it.

Keep us posted,

Jon
