[QUOTE="Mulholland Man, post: 16631081, member: 191905"] Hi Everyone, I am Selling my car but I'm not sure exactly how to price it. I could use some help from the forum members on properly valuing the car. To the Moderator, I will PROPERLY post the car for sale on the "Market" once I get some feedback from the forum on value (I'm not a scammer). Its difficult to value because the small block and crankshaft need to be replaced. It definitely needs a new small block (see this email chain for more info). I don't know if the heads were damaged when the stock rod broke but in any case, a new owner would likely want to rebuild the upper end as well as the lower. By my accounts, the car has about a minimum of 15k worth of work to be done if you were to use stock replacement parts and 25k if you were to purchase a JDM or L&M bottom end as I have priced it. While this may be a "project car," its a Super Sick car that's had a lot of love and investment put into it already. Put a L&M or JDM forged bottom end in there and a bigger SC and your going to have a full on beast. I would greatly appreciate feedback from forum members on what they would ask for it if it were their car. See the list of mods and info below: Car is black with black racing stripes (photos attached below). Technology and Performance Packages. Premium Stereo w 6 CD Changer, Gray heated and cooled leather seats, Navigation., Aluminum dash - see this thread for pics. Car has the following mods: JLT Cold Air 123mm Carbon Fiber w/ JLT Air Filter JLT twin 67 mm Dual Throttle Body BPS High Flow Supercharger Elbow 2.4" Metco Supercharger Pulley Metco Belt Tensioner pulley 90mm JLT Oil Separators on Drivers and Passenger side (Anodized black) MGW Short Throw Shifter (set on level 4/5 stiffness) Stiff Racing Clutch (haven't checked but think its a McCleod-Came with it when I bought it (2 owner car including me- I got it at 5k miles) Roush Extreme Axle Back Exhaust KB Dual Boost a Pump (installed in trunk) Ford Racing 373 Gears Complete Griggs Super Street GR40 Suspension Kit as follows: New Griggs Rear end upper and lower control arms Griggs Watts Link w Alloy blue pumpkin cover Rear Anti Roll Bar delete with 315 kit to allow for 315s all around Koni Coil Over Shocks and struts with custom spring rate somewhere around 180 if memory serves Front shocks are manually adjustable- tool provided Griggs Torque Arm welded to chassis and connected to rear diff.

I have some sweet Black Hood pins from Shelby that I didn't install but I would throw in.

I have all of the original stock parts; included in sale if price is right. Car has around.48k miles on the engine. All of these mods ran me around 25k installed (Paid 60k for it in 2015). TWO owner car. Owner before me put 5k miles on it. The Rest are mine. Put a nice new built short block on this one and you have a car that has a suspension that is capable of handling and putting down that power (not that the Griggs system I have is Drag purposed but it puts the power to the ground plenty nicely. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks!! [/QUOTE]
