So like what, put a bone stock ls1 and an auto in it? Lol. This car needs a big inch nitrous or a turbo motor in it. This car is comparable to Wormboys car. Ask him how his roller is? What do you think a fair price is for this car? 5 grand 10 grand? Read throught some catalogs and ad up the price of the parts in this car. This is a screamin deal.

thanks for all the kind words and to those who understand what it takes to build a good fundation for a race car, it took Bill Buck a little over 7 months to built the car plus the 2 month wait to get in line.
thanks.

thanks.

Your average joe isn't going to shell out 19,000 for a shell that's going to need 30K+ worth of money to reach it's full potential.
I don't think there are too many guys out there trying to build 7.5 NHRA racers on a budget either.
It seems to me that as far as selling it is concerned, the car is in some automotive limbo. It's too much for the budget crowd and it might not be enough for the all out crowd.
Now as far as price is concerned, I think you could probably part the car out and sell the components separately and easily recoupe 10K, then kick the shell out for another 3K if you wanted.
I'm not being negative. I think these are legitimate points and questions that should be asked.

Your welcome man. I built a 8 second s10 a few years back and had alot tied up in it. I did all the work myself including cage, backhalf, paint, engine building, etc. I took a loss when I got rid of it and I know you will be taking a big loss letting this one go. Someone that has never done it just doesnt know. My truck wasnt near the scale that this car is but I know what its like to build something and the money involved. And the other guy is right the average budget Joe isnt going to buy this, but there are alot of big money non- average Joes on here and can dish it out. He also showed that he is not one of those guys, and neither am I, but you cant sell something if you dont put it out there.

All I'm saying is that as it sits right there, that car is going to a hard sell smoking deal or not.

There is no reason to wire the car until someone know what set up they are going to put in the car. Hey LS1Vasquez have you ever built a car like that? You will deffinetly be looking at a year plus to get it done and at least 30 grand. You will sink a lot of money into all of the little details like brakes, Rear end etc. Looks like a nice car that some one will be getting a good deal on. Post that thing on racingjunk.com there will be some guys over there that know what it costs to build a car.

That's a helluva a deal. If you all don't know what your looking at with a car of this caliber don't post up retarded ****. Your not gonna buy this car to turn it into a street car. This is for some individual or team that doesn't have time to wait for a shop to put a new car together. No wait time and a great price. Good luck man.

Please do, just because you can't see it, doesn't mean anything other than you should learn more about racing & the costs/work involved to do it safely/legally before you sound off with your opinion.
You should have shut up like you said you would, lol. First off, your average Joe isn't going to be buying this roller to start with 
The motor/tranny setup that would likely go into this car would probably be in excess of $30-40k with fuel system & everything turn key and that's probably being conservative.
Most people with money do 1 of 2 things, they either build it from the ground up, or they are more thrifty with their money & actively look for people that are getting out of a project that is started & not finished because they know they can save money. Just because you think the majority of 'Joe's' won't want this doesn't matter, he only needs 1 buyer, this is LS1Tech, it's made for an LSx, so it's a legit post, nuff said.
Bump for you & good luck with the sale. I want to see this car going down the track

It sounds like a pretty good deal to me for someone in the market for a 7.50 roller. Its not uncommon for people to have 100k (including engine) wrapped up into these things. I'd jump on it if I had the money (and the space to put it).

You know what? You people need to seriously slow your god damn roll and start untwisting your panties and get the sand out of your vagina's.
All I asked was why the car was worth that much, and so far nobody has answered my question other then a couple of collective good ol' boy hollers of"Well, thats a high tuned performance race chassis, why wouldn't it be worth that much?"
Sorry for asking a simple question, but if you guys don't want random people asking about it, then maybe the car shouldn't be posted on a public forum. Maybe it should have been circulated instead in a subscribed newsletter instead with all the "in the know peers."
Yes, I don't know that much about sanctioned racing, but I think you guys are out of line for jumping on my **** the way you are. From a outside, unbiased viewpoint, I'm just seeing a empty shell with a couple of go fast goodies and and intricate cage.
If the cars such a smoking *** deal, why hasn't it been sold yet?
