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!

I would do which ever leaves me in the best financial shape.
I had the same problem at one point...911 vs 914. I had less in the 911 & could sell it for more than the 914. Adios 911.
