Just curious what you guys thought. I have seen a few sell for 12-14k with less mods and less reliability. Was hoping for that mark but also see some for much less.

I am putting my LT1 up for sale because there is not much left I can really do with this one. I am selling my 1996 Silver Formula. Below is a summary, pictures and the details of all the mods at the bottom. Email inquiries to elynchttu@gmail.com This is a race car that has consistently been down the track for years. Everything that was weak has been replaced with strong, durable drag race parts. Lots of cars I see for sale are untested, but not this car. Runs 12.1@115-116 without nitrous, 11.4@121 on nitrous. Obviously with a 121 trap speed it should be in the 10s, but I can't drive I guess. This comes with slicks and street tires. Street tires are all brand new with less than 100 miles on them. Rears are drag radials and fronts are stock style (can give you model numbers if you ask). It is set up to drag race for years to come and make you a happy drag racer. You can even turn the nitrous up!!

Current price: $9,000.

I hate to say it, given how much time and money you have tied up in that car, but $14,500 is pretty unrealistic.

 

That is why I posted here. What is fair?

 

Updated price, 9k

 

There's one in my area that has LE2's makes 430 rwhp and has everything you have and more. He has had it for 7k for 6 months now and can't get anyone to buy it. I think 12k is still too high, I understand you have spent that, but its not there.

 

Torque monster!! Awesome car man but I have to agree the price is way too high. Theres a guy in my area selling a beautiful 02 Camaro with a turbo LS2 (600+rwhp), on coilovers and and huge list of other stuff like yours and he's letting it go for only 10k. I think his is worth much more (he had it at 12k not too long ago and I think 16k a few months back but now he wants a quick sale) and yours is probably worth a solid 10k as well imo but unfortunately its not what people are realistically willing to pay.

 

Thanks for responses. Lowering price... Looks like 7k might be where I have to go to sell it. Currently have price at 9k in a few places.
