So recently I picked up a 2000 firebird roller to house my turbo project. I am sick of looking at parts and waiting to drive my car. This is my third project in the last 4 years. So needless to say i want to sell everything or trade it all for a nice street car. I just don't have time to finish it between school and work so its time to see if I can let it go. THIS IS NOT A COMPLETE RUNNING CAR THATS WHY IT SAYS PROJECT i have about 9500 into so as close as I can get to it as possible i was thinking like 8500 OBO

Sorry about your dilemma but I believe you are going to have a real tough time getting your money back or getting anything even remotely close to that. Owners of project or collector type cars have these well intentioned projects ongoing for years and years and then find themselves in situations where they can't finish the jobs (need money, health issues, etc...) They end up practically giving their projects away. Very few people buy these incomplete projects because there just is no way to know what parts are missing or what else is involved, never mind the labor of finishing the job, and costs of transporting. To take that gamble, buyers offer fractions of what the parts and car are actually worth. Sorry to be a 'downer' :( but that's the way it usually is.

If you want honesty, yes it is too high. No need to repeat what I posted earlier.

you would be better off selling everything seperate and try to get close to what you paid for it.
