id have to say its priceless, because if and when i put that much into my car... id never sell it... well come to think of it , ill never sell my car period... but there is realy know way to put a price on it , depends on who was buying it, im sure if you sold it to the right person you might get like 6000$-8000$ cdn but most people wanna build there car up themselves... but id have to go with it being priceless... i have an 80gs my self hehehe,



oh ya btw , damn nice soundin car man, got any pics...? id love to see it run.

id say at a max 5k u.s., if you got lucky.

 

oh and by the way, nice *** car.

 

I would say somewhere around 3500-4k us... New cars are real cheap the intrest rates are low and used cars are worth dick anymore... real nice car man... you could ask a *** load for it... you will eventually find some kid to buy it with a little bit of mommy and daddy support you have spent alot of chuching on that car man... car sounds sweet to me...

 

uh, what link?

 

the button that says WWW

 

Maby It's just me... But if I did all that work to my baby... and finally decided to part with it... ID BE DAMNED if I'd sell it to some kid who just got his license and is running around with daddy's wallet. I'd want the car to be enjoyed, not beaten to ****... Not saying that all young drivers beat hooked up cars to ****... But the amount of young drivers beating hooked up cars isn't exactly minimal.

Just my .02

 

guys thanks for the comments......i dont really want to sell this car, cuz i'll miss it tomuch.....i love this bitch more than my wife :0
if i dont get a offer over $5000 by febuary,i'll strip the car down & do it all over again.....candyapple blue with a bridgeport 20b twin turbo,street tubb the chassis with a 9" 4-link rear......18" rims out back with 17's in front...
after that i'll never sell it

 

yeah to get the money you deserve from the car parting is the only way, its funny how complete and running doesnt gather as much money

 

I agree with that man... I would want my car to be enjoyed... but doesnt enjoying= beating the **** out of it? I have seen alot of kids do stuipd **** to there cars... STUPID ****... but I dont care what I drive... I drive it like I stole it

 

Doh!!! thanks manntis!!

 

I can have lots of fun in my rex without "beating" it...
And when I did "beat it" I blew it the **** up. I'm not sad tho... Just means... NEW PROJECT!

 

I live my life a rotary engine at a time and for those 10,000 miles or less and am free

 

The problem is there are four different values, what
1. it cost to put together
2. the market place price
3. someone will pay for it on the spur of the moment
4. I will sell it for when an offer is made

I reckon my RX7 is worth about Aus$10,000 on the open market, but the other day a car pulled up alongside and the driver shouted I love your car I will buy it for $15,000. Being crazy I turned the offer down inspite of knowing I will never get a better one.

At that time the car looked great, I felt great and the money did not matter. Perhaps on a cold wet day I might have sold. The real question is there anything else I could buy with the money and have the same satisfaction.

 

Ya know, thats sort of how I feel. However, my bridgeport is lasting a lot longer this time it seems without failures. I'm aiming at 20,000miles this time! LOL!!

 

are you guys running bridgeports on the street, if so i have to ask why would you want only that much life, why not go with a streetport, save alot more money, but if you race them forget i even said anything..
