Hey everyone! I'm trying to find out what this car is worth. I was thinking of putting a used LQ9 motor in but here's what she's got...

408ci Iron Block LSX (needs a rebuild)
TrickFlow 225 Cylinder Heads (milled .030)
Custom Comp 248/254 .615/.619 and a 112 LSA
Nitrous Outlet 90mm LSX Plate System
Yella Terra Rocker Arms
FAST 90mm Intake / Nick Williams 90mm Throttle Body
TSP 85 Lid / SLP MAF
SLP Under Drive Pulley
Texas Speed 1 7/8" Long Tube Headers / Hooker Y pipe / Magnaflow Catback
Lonnies Double Pump, 39lb Injectors
PA Racing Tubular K-member
Spohn Adjustable Torque Arm, Lower Control Arms and Panhard Rod
Performabuilt Level 2 4L60-E with Pro Yank 3600 Converter
Weld RT-S wheels
Mickey Thompson ET Streets/Skinnys
Stock SS wheels
Lakewood 50/50 Shocks
Precision Shaft Technology 4" Aluminum Driveshaft
Moser 9" Rear w/ 3.70 TrueTrac Gears
Wolfe Race Craft 6 Point Cromoly Roll Bar
Corbeau CR1 seats

Things needed and imperfections:
Battery
Dash is cracked
Door seal on driver side
Lightweight carpet is ragged
Sun visors are in bad shape
No back seats

So what is it worth?

 

Lot about the engine but very little about the car. It is hard to assess the value of the "car" without information specific to the car. How many miles, what is the paint condition, do you have the stock components that were removed both engine wise and/or body/interior wise, were there any SLP options or was it a basic SS, is the motor functioning or what exactly is the concern with the 408.

With the limited information and understanding that the motor is blown I would be thinking you would be looking at the $4-6000 range as most people are only willing to buy "broke" cars for their part out value. Which in your case might be the better route to sell the car would be to sell all the performance parts and try to get a little cash ($1500 or so is what I see the going rate is) for a rolling SS Shell.

 

It has 170k on the body. Paint is great. Didn't have a pic at the time of posting this. Bout 10k in all those performance parts new.

Sold for 5k to a good home.

 

That was quick lol....I actually had 5K listed in my original post but then figured I should be a little broad so expanded it to $4-6. But sounds like it was a win/win for both you and the buyer as that is right around what I would consider market value.

 

Yeah man. It's a good friend of 20+ years and it stays in the family LOL

 

I need more friends like you
