Just wondering what value we should be putting on /6 conversions these days? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)
My teen, if it was still a /4, I wouldn't even consider an offer under $25K Canadian, so about $18-19K USD. Not that I want to sell. /6 core prices are way way up, and so are running engines, What about a fresh performance build?. I used to tell customers a conversion would run $30K (CAD) with engine. but I seriously doubt I could do that now. My teen is a '74 (1.8 base) paint is (guessing) a 30 yr/old respray colour change, a 7/10 from chips and scratches only, but perfect OG body, perfect interior, Evil tranny, 5-bolt, fuchs , bilsteins, front suspension, etc Engine 3.0, 2K miles, twinplug/MSD, webers, custom mahle pistons, web cams, fresh build, alumimum tank, etc No clue what the replacement value for insurance would be..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) What do you think your /6 conversion is worth? |

Most of the big names charge $20-30k for a full engine overhaul - depending on parts used. That’s not including any real high end or exotic builds.
We had a customers car that had a stock 2.7 rebuilt for $22.5 that ran like crap. It still needed the CIS rebuilt. That cost another $1,500 in parts. Like I said, the only way to get a true replacement cost is to write up every part and put a retail price next to it. Eye watering for sure. Even your detailed list is incomplete. There are tons of gaskets, grommets, seals and hardware pieces that add up. Just the speedo, clutch, throttle and e- brake cables are ~$250 to replace. |

Like I said, the only way to get a true replacement cost is to write up every part and put a retail price next to it. Eye watering for sure. That's another issue, what it cost me several years ago (2012-ish) or today? Also when I bought everything the CAD and USD dollar was at par, today it's only .70 to the USD. And almost everything on my list has gone way up in price. Core 3.0 $2K Mahle 3.0 piston's were $1200 NIB and so was the plating, so $2400. Pistons believed to be from a race team for a backup engine and never used, took a chance and won. They look like RSR but are made for a stock head chamber, real RSR heads had smaller CC chambers, thus different CR pistons, logic on the guess being they were made for a RSR backup with stock heads. I was offered $5K for the P&C kit on the bird when I showed off my goodies 5-6 years ago. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-26-1404912011.jpg) |
