Default Pricing a track car (bare bones)

I know alot of you have seen my ad up for my car (see below). The reserve is set right at 15,500 but nobody really seems to be bidding. Is it priced correctly in your opinion?

The motor has just over 2k miles on it, 40psi oil pressure at idle, running perfect. This is a wicked street car, but more of a track car.
I just dont have the time for the car anymore and I need to pay off bills. It has been sitting in the garage more than it has been driven. Over 20k invested as you can see.


The motor/tranny combo was built with the intention of running a single turbo at 800+ hp. No expense was spared...

Serious inquiries only. No tire kickers. I want to sell the car to a buyer who fully intends to finish it and make the 9 second pass it was meant for.

That's a very reasonable price on that car... If you weren't in Texas I would highly consider it.

Maybe your 94.3% feedback rating is scareing a few off on a big ticket item. Its not too bad but eveyong looks for perfect on bigger items.
