**How much is this drag car worth?**

Owner says the body/paint is in good condition. It was setup for rotary at one time.

Anyhow, I'm not sure how much something like this would be worth. What do you think?

The picture quality on some ebay auctions never ceases to amaze me. What the hell are you supposed to be able to tell from those pictures other than the fact that it is a Corolla and it has wheelie bars? WTF!

To me a roller is worth anywhere from $500-$1000 unless it’s extra, extra clean or rare.

Alright, what about this as a complete rolling chassis. No motor, trans, fuel, igntion. Car is legal for 8.50's.

What's it worth?

Alright, so you've seen it up close? Is it pretty straight ?

As far as the Datsun, I think he's going to want in the 6K range, more than I can spend

Yeah it was a nice decently straight car. Nice body work, Used to have all the bumpers too,. Would lunch with 2wheels of the ground nicely and would run straight. Whole thing is painted nice. Datsun would be cheaper in the long run to make it go faster hence all the work that it already has done to it and its alot lighter aswell.

The guy who used to build the engine of that car "Marino Cintron" used to drive it and he is a pretty big guy about 220lbs big lol, he would fit in there with no problem at all.

Welp, looks like I'm leaving tommorow night to pick something up. I was hoping to buy something already built but it looks like I'm going to end up building something again.

Well, it's a corolla but not the one I posted. It's basically a stock corolla with a bridgeported rotary swap.

It's going to be something that I'll need to completely build.

Thanks, I'll post some pictures of it this weekend. This should be a pretty quick build, not sure where I want to go with it yet, though.
