The general theory in hard times is take the KBB value of the vehicle with miles on body and add 25% of the amount spent on modifications (not including install). In good times, 50%. If he can get people to pay more than those percentages, kudos to him

Its hard for me to say seeing cars sell for different amounts depending on where you live, Here in the houston area i would say $3500 - $4500 depending on what it looks like. There are a lot here in my area and a bone stock one in ok shape sell from $1500 - $2500

You can try.. I'd highly doubt anyone would buy it for that in this economy. I was originally considering reselling my car, but I have too much $$ into the transmission to consider selling it.
Whys he selling it? Sad

best of luck to you Like I said, try the highest dollar... Wait awhile.. and if it doesn't sell, drop it down a bit.
At the end of the day, if the car is worth more to him than he could sell it for, he should probably keep it

He's selling due to lack of funds to continue the project. It's been sitting since 08', I mean he drives it every few weeks around the block but that's about it.

Really all that it needs is a good set of drag wheels/tires, maybe a little bit more in the suspension and a roll cage.
If anyone is interested on here feel free to shoot me a PM.
Thanks for the info guys.
