How much would this be worth.

So Im thinking about buying a house in the next few months and am thinking of selling my rx2. Its been through a few wars but has always been there. Vehicle history is my grandfather bought it brand new in 72'. Body for the most part is straight few rust spots couple dents. Front cradle and engine bay has been modified to fit a Fd engine or possible 20b. Front suspension has been changed to FB. Dash is incomplete but is from a 85 fb. seats are in great condition has an upolstry kit i bought for it from austrailia new carpet and rubber trim. Will be the shell only im going to pull out the motor and tranny and sell seperate unless you guys think I could get more with it in. Its a 95 motor w/ ~30k and a t2 shortened tranny ACT Cluth. Also has FB rear LSD. What should I ask if I try and sell it? Thanks for any info you can give me.

Chris

Upgrading front bucket seats, suspension, rear and engine are fine, but switchng to an 84-85 dash is a NO NO in my book as it will loose the originality.

If I had wanted an 85 Dash, I would own a first gen.

Car is decent other than that

You got that right. As for me, its just a rolling chassis (assessing it without the your motor/tranny) since it missing the interior. thats my honest opinion.

**** that the car looks like it has come a long ways you shouldn't sell it but you do what you got to do, im sure your grandfather would see from your point of view and understand what has to be done, its just sad to see it being sold. It's kinda hard to shoot a price being that the car does not belong to any of us. And on top of that get your money's worth and don't play with the low ballers good luck with the sell. Your going to have to really put some thinking into this sell to get your money's worth on and out of the car

it looks pretty good overall... if i was in a high baller mood, i'd offer 5-6k the way it sits w/ the motor, tranny, etc. if i was in a low baller mood, i'd give ya $4k the way it is now.

I agreed with the above quote, but you must set the price base on your needs. The time an effort is sometimes more expensive than the car we worked on. You have to set a price that will more than likely meet your current needs.
I'll buy a cross member like that for an FB if you make it to help out with soem income.

$2000 - $2500 for the complete shell. Save yourself some heartache and purchase a dash to include with the sale, just in case.

$3500 - $4000 for the complete package.
