Default question for you guys about my car need to sell

well its an 02 s.o.m firehawk with ebony int. it has a ton of stuff done to it,single turbo,cage,9 inch rear,boyde coddington wheels,built trans,and some other stuff,it has 14,000 miles and is in impecable condition(multi show winner) now the stock lower end let go,it burned a piston,i replaced the motor and 200 miles later it randomly threw a rod while it was idling in my parking lot.i dont have the time ,patience or money to put a motor in it.

my question is whats it worth the way it is,and is anyone interested in buying it.

i figgure a forged shortblock runs about $2500 ,and all stock parts come with it except for the fatory 10 bolt.

Honestly if you can part it out or go back to stock and sell it like that.

Probbly more money for it, if you can do it.

As for what it's worth it'll varry by area and the market plus winter time = sports cars not as desiered.

Good luck your car sounds sick though. I'm sorry for your misfortune.

not running, you won't get crap for it. Fix it, and you could sell it for probably 20K I'd guess, maybe a little more.

Demod it, put it back to stock-ish , sell it. If its running you could def get 18-20 for it, and more for the mods. Since spring is here and tax returns are coming its def. a thought

The car is worth $20-$25k to someone that plans on doing that kind of build.

put it to stock it will get more, dont let anyone know it was touched. Its worth 16-19k in stock form with the catback, rims, etc.

Put it back to stock. The engine will not be the original, so that will take some of the value off buying the "FireHawk" But that is probably how you will get the most cash.

the way it sits i would like to get 18-19 k for it, it seems high but with no more than 3k it would be a 10 sec show car
,so for 22k it could be done,i doubt you would find another car like this for that money,it comes with all stock parts,it would go for that without all the stuff into it

as is? All it needs is a shortblock right? I dont think 18-19 is high, i think it will go fast at that price. Its worth it
