So I'm at a loss for how there has been zero interest for this at $3,800.

Feel free to pm any comments anyone has on this and let me know what I'm doing wrong. I know the body style route I started taking isn't everyone's cup of tea and have tried to price it accordingly. I thought it was a reasonable price even for someone who already has their own project, but maybe I'm mistaken.

Willing to deliver within a long 1-day drive of Minneapolis for an additional $600.

Threw it back on ebay with no reserve and a starting bid of $3300. Will see what happens.

The lack of interest is the market telling you your price is too high. Total lack of interest means it's way too high. The parts you bought for the car were your dream, not someone else's. The car still has a lot of work and $$$ before its running and looking nice. 2x what your asking will get you a decent driver. $0.50 on the dollar is just a starting point for this kind of project. I know it hurts but that's just the way it goes. GLWTS.

- If you want to start geting your money back quickly, start parting it out. It's a pita but it will start generating cash.

For the record its basically at 50 cents on the dollar for parts and $1000 for the roller.

The car could be mechanically sound and running, albeit not pretty, for little to no extra money.

Though you're probably right and I may need to part it.

Ebay is a good spot for "parting out".........give it a try! I doubt most folks there would appreciate all the good stuff you have as a total package. Oh well.

I've got the car on ebay with a minimum bid of $3300, which is what it'll be listed at on here in the event it doesn't sell when auction ends on Thursday.

At $3,300 I see the car priced as:

-$1000 roller
-$2200 retail value of the heads and super valvetrain kit
-$100 for EVERYTHING else.

I just don't see how that isn't a fair price.

As far as I know, the heads/valvetrain kit will really work for anyone building a type4 engine of basically any size with 96mm pistons.

Price lowered to $3,000.

Willing to entertain offers on parting it out in large chunks if that interests people more.

Bueller....Bueller...anyone??
