Realcoray there are way more than 12K in parts on this car start adding up the parts and let me knwo where you get. Did he over pay to build the car yes but its still worth something.

This car with a LS engine and right stance would easy be $100K car the complete car has all new everything with full suspension, interior and all the upgrades just needs a new look IMHO. Thats why we posted it up here this would be a great project for someone to buy and drop a LS in it and then lower more with new wheels/tires. You would easy be in the car half of what its worth.
I meant the parts someone else suggested would eat up half of the cost of this car, not the actual parts on this car.

Please pardon my threadjack, but it may be pertinant given the expectations of buyers vs. build cost.

I stand by my suggestion. The thought that "Everyone seems to expect a 500+hp lsx, a minitub / link rear suspension, and an aftermarket sub for this asking price." is, to me, irrational. Reality of the situation? Maybe.

I'm using rough numbers to illustrate my point. Most who have completed these upgrades know that it can easily cost more.

500+ Hp LSX - $10k by the time you have plumbed, wired, fueled, tuned, and running properly. Even the junkyard motor swaps end up at $7k when you truly include everything. This will also depend on hitting that 500hp mark, not 400hp+

Aftermarket Sub - $5k on the low end, $8k on the DSE end of the spectrum.

Mini Tub - $400 not including labor ($1k), but what are your wheels and tires gonna cost you to fill up that tub? $3k?

Multi-Link Rear - $2,000 on the low end, $3,000 with upgrades (sway bar, double adjustables, etc). No labor to install...

I get to $22k -$25k pretty quick with just those items, no labor included. Almost half the asking price. This was the point of my statement. Your $12k number is optimistic at best.

The whole thread is wacked IMO. Kinda weird that someone is selling something and also asking people's opinion on what it may be worth.

And asking for opinions on what it's worth, and then disagreeing with those opinions.

Everyone has input and if you don’t have something positive to add to the conversation stay out of the thread. I only asked this crowd of builders what they thought the car was worth because they all know what it takes to build cars like this. I was looking for real input on what a car like this should go for to help one of my clients out not a bunch of BS. Sorry that some of you feel that this is a waste of your time but you don’t have to look or read the thread. Everyone knows on this site that paint alone is around 7K not to mention all the parts and labor on the build. I know what it cost to build cars and I understand what they take to build but I did not do this car so I was looking for a little help from the community on what a car like this should go for and get ignorant remarks of 12K and so on. No one on this site could build a car like this for 20K including me so not sure why some people have to be smart asses.

Doesn’t mater anymore as the CAR SOLD
