There should be a very reasonable collection of sales in the classifieds on this site.

I hope everything works out okay for you.

That sucks, sorry for your lost and hope everything works out. John

Really sorry to see this.

This car just sold sounds similar to yours. We all thought it was a bargain.

Here's another one. Glass flares not steel.

while cool, the white car still required some assembly, and more limited appeal so add a pretty good sized tower of loonies to that price. no comparison with the silver car. did you have a stated or agreed value with your ins carrier? sorry for your catastrophe pete.

What a horrible thing to have happened. I feel for you and hope your insurance company can make you whole with cash for the money you spent on that beautiful car.

I feel so sorry that this happened to you and your family. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

McMark just sold his steel flared roller. Needed paint but otherwise was similar to yours. I think it was in the 6-7k range as a roller

[Mblizzard]

I guess I am a little confused. The title suggests you are seeking the value of the car as a roller. Is that really relevant for the insurance? Meaning roller vs moving. The car should be insured and paid out for based on its insured value or its value as a complete car regardless of the engine being in it or on a shelf. If you look at it from a roller view point you give up money from the start. You have lost the car regardless of whether or not you could drive it. Clearly your intent with the listed upgrades was to drive it. So I would not accept less because it was a roller.

I could be miss understanding your question here so if I got it wrong I apologize.

What a terrible thing to happen.

His engine was out of the car. So, it would have been insured under his homeowner policy if at all. Not sure of Canadian insurance practice but I suspect that is why...

Mark's flared roller wasn't as polished as yours Steve. I'd say $8-10K or more. Receipts are king!

[pete-stevers]

I am looking for a valuation, on a complete car sold or a roller with similar ad ons
this is the car before the fire, and this is the car that I am looking for a value on ....before the fire

[pete-stevers]

I am not really looking for opinions, but substantiated sales.... of like cars not rolling wrecks or baskets, as sales are true test of market value

[rhodyguy]

not addressing your wants…but…non-runner/no engine makes a dif. what was your car's status? i learned the hard way when the carport fell on the 75'. adj was clueless until i pointed it out and i left money on the table. when the adj shows up don't do their work for them. they catch it? "oops. my bad". otherwise $30k. you must be approaching that point prior to the burn.

[boxsterfan]

That car would sell for around $35-40K in today's market. You have a ton of upgrades and pristine condition.

[pete-stevers]

Thanks Kevin...the car had the engine out and on a table right beside the car with all the parts ready fore build up,
The question the insurance will ask is what is value of a like car with or without the engine, and the test is what did it sell for
once I have approx ten cars ....Sold...I will present it to the insurer
and I will provide a compiled list of parts and prices as well

Steve,

Was your car a factory 6 or conversion?

I was an auto damage appraiser. This is how I viewed vehicles. All cars have tires, engines, body panels and interior of some kind. I would look at your vehicle as a complete car. Running or not would make no difference. The engine was there and not missing.

I always tell guys with damaged cars to do your own homework ASAP and present it to the appraiser when he arrives. I would use the car with the bolted flares.

You need three cars that sold lately. The formula is add the three cars sale prices then divide by three to get a fair market value.

Guy's lets find Steve a few more recent sales.

[pete-stevers]

The car is a 75 converted

[rick 918-S]

OK, I would suggest you start a search on car sales on Ebay and the high end car sales sources.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) with Rick, with the caveat that IMHO the AA car is way out of range.

Based on what I know of it, I'd put yours in the 20-25k range. The AA car is 30k as is, 35k if the bumpers and rockers were redone, some interior and undercarriage, shots were provided, and the engine was well documented ( given the source ) but that's all a matter of taste (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
