Maybe I should part it out!

you would definetly get more if you sell it as a roller then t/k ....... go to RJ and look thru some of the listings .....

So what is the roller worth and the engine worth after I freshen it??

IMHO, with all of the great parts you have in the engine and chassis, I would say the whole car is somewhere in the $35,000-$40,000 range. Rolling chassis alone is worth $18,000-$25,000.

sorry Mike ... i read your list again and the value would go up significantly due to the 25.3 chassis and some other aspects of the car ....... i would think you could get any were from 30,000 to 35000 for the car t/k , ive seen several c-headed motors , single carb deals sell for 12,000 - 15,000 complete carb to pan ....its a tuff market for these cars , but good luck with the sale ......

Hope you don't have to sell out Mike. You have a lot of nice parts in that list.

I was guessing around $15K for each of them! What would be the perfect deal would be to trade it for a nice street car!

Hate to say Mike, but it's only going to be worth what someone is willing to pay you for it! Part it out then you will come real close to getting back what you have in it. Some of those race mustang on racing junk have been sitting there for a few years now...

You have stuff on your car that I would be willing to pay you for. That's my 2 cents in a nut shell

Sell your car as a "roller"... buy a dragster, put your engine in it and race it just about anywhere.

that sounds boring Randy .......

It probably IS a little boring but, also fiscally sound. AND, he can continue to race to get that inner feeling.

Boring is sitting at the house...not racing.

Why can't he race the door car?

True.


sucks you'd have to prt it out Mike. Is there an NHRA track nearby? You could always run Super gas or Super Street. Or go the pipe rack route...
