The basic rule of thumb (and that's all it is) states that the parts are worth 50% and the labor is worth zero, but warranties do help if the buyer is local.

If you survive Vegas and still have the title in your hands, post a couple photos if you have time. I'm not a buyer but it sounds like a pretty neat car.

That is a super nice car!
It is a shame we spend all this money on the best car in the world ( in my mind ) and cant get anything back. I have a 2001 w/17k miles and a 500 mile fully built stroker with a DISC blower, fully built M-6, duel clutch, built rear end ,etc. I would let it go for $25k but I would hate it. Although not nearly as nice as yours but it is very Fast!

I'd part out the engine and transmission and sell the car, but that's me personally.

As for trying to sell the car complete, I'd hedge and sell mid 30's.

And trying to get money on labor, that's highly dependent on work performed and the rarity/complexity. From the buyers view "Is that price acceptable given that I couldn't anywhere replicate that?"

thanks for the compliments on the car... appreciate it...

Guys, i know, i cannot add money to the car for labor, thats sucken cost. im adding money for the parts it has in it and the fact that you can rest assured, they are built right the first time!

With that said, my price has started at 45K, but now im down to 37K, id be happy to let it go at that...
