Worth the asking price to the right buyer. No title is worse than no motor. All depends on what ya wanna do.

Funny story, I'm buying the motor from it on Monday, ported 12a with a Holley. A friends mom works for Maryland vehicle admin and is looking into if a title would be available to get for it

Are you sure it's the Mariah kit? Looks like the black dragon kit to me. If it is Mariah, the kit will be worth more than the car as I heard they are no longer making it. That being said, it's only going to be worth what someone is willing to pay for it. I'm not too keen on the super wide bodies so I would maybe offer you $1500 if the body and engine are in decent shape. Someone else might offer you a lot more. Just depends.

What does the interior look like? Any rust on the body?

That's definitely the black dragon kit, same as mine. No comment on price though...but the kit itself is not cheap but you would need to like the widebody look and the color as paint itself is also not cheap.

Given condition... $2000 if it runs. Those wheels look nice. Missing front bumper, needs paint.

It is definitely not the Mode 1 wide body, also if look at the racing wide bodies it does not look like the ones they had listed Mariah Motorsports by Design Energy Inc. RX-7, Rotary, KitCar and Sportscar Specialist In your purchase price factor in him keeping the wheels, it can be pretty expensive to get wheels and tires wide enough to go with that kit.

Good luck with your purchase!!

Yeah, if he is keeping the wheels and he doesn't even have an engine in it, I would offer him $500-$800 depending on the quality of the body, such as rust damage, interior damage, etc. Since that is just the Black Dragon kit, you may be better off saving your money and finding a solid running GSL or GSL-SE and then adding the wide body kit and wheels at a later date. Otherwise, this thing will sit in your garage for years as you slowly try to get it back to running order. Trust me, I speak from experience…
