I hope you are on the road to complete recovery and I'm sorry to be a pain in the but so many questions!
Mileage on engine and body? Clean title? Carfax history? Does the hood close? Do the headlights go down OK? (I see one picture where they are down). What's the condition of the car besides the appearance? The pictures almost beg to ask more and more questions.
I'm sure you know that heavily modded F-bodies are extremely difficult to sell for decent money. There are numerous posts here in this section over the past few years documenting the tough sledding in selling these beasts. The buying segment of this market is very limited.

That color and your signature tell me if you have the means parting it out is going to be your best bet. If you dont have the means to do that the running condition etc are really going to move price around alot. I hate the the color but might have some intrest in it for the motor and add ons.

here is the underside and under the carpart/ if you go to my site all the info is on it i replace all the electrical parts the door motors are brand new $300. plus i replaced every part that would be under any panel the reason i did it was because i wanted it to look new everywhere someone might look at in a show/ not because they where bad. i should of kept the old parts to sell i just didnt think of it. i have somethings still like a perfect hood and the stock complete suspension.

Your going to loose an insane amount of money on this car. Sell all your parts they should hold pretty close to new value. The car I'd make it as close to stock suspension as you could but your going to loose on it big time. Even if you find that special buyer your still reaching a 4-5k. You got 47K in it, you might get 30k for it running done with the bugs all worked out of it but your going to spend a **** ton more getting it to that point. You have alot of high end parts that will bring some money, motor might due better on E-bay though. Part it out if your looking for the most money

$47,000 is just unreal. I understand the outlay for that special 9 second show car but how do you re-coup this money now?? I think Mustang Hat'r 2 is on the right track with his post about selling everything separately. No way the car can bring anything even remotely close to what you want. Best of luck to you, and thank you for taking the time to provide the details and photos. I wish I had some positive news to provide.

well i am not even thinking i would get my money back/ the car only needs to have the drive train installed it needs about 2500 in parts to do it thats because i look at ir as better to install new stuff to continue build instead of just putting the ols stuff back in it a shop will charge about 500 buck to tune it and if as in my case to install everything and het eerything correct about $1500 to do the job/unless someone else does it.
if i got 25 to 30 i would take it/ the motor with all it stuff cost about 14k i think just of the top of my head,

I hope you are just kidding. Sometimes humor doesn't come across the right way in posts. If serious, in most states it would be illegal (a form of gambling, sweepstakes, etc..) or else you would see it offered everywhere. Charitable causes are exempt and that is what we all see in car mags, etc....

lol of course i would end up only getting a few hundred tickets sold and end up giving it away for a grand lol/ but i have seen it done in texas a bunch every state is different i guess it would depend on how it is done. maybe it is because it is done locally. but it would not be a bad idea to do it for a Charitable cause. i would rather do that than have to end up giving it away. it would buy alot of wheelchairs for those in need.
