Damn that car looks nice for 123k on the odometer.

Obvious you've got some really nice solid parts on the car, but cars like these just don't bring the cash, especially nowadays. I think you'd be hard pressed to get more than $15,000 out of it and lucky to even find a buyer to pay that.

I can relate. I have probably 6-7k wrapped up in the engine alone, not to mention the blower, tranny, and the cost of the car. I'd wouldn't even consider anything less than $20k, but nobody in their right mind would pay that. I'd be lucky to get anything close to $15,000 for my current setup.


Who knows, throw out there for $18,000 and see who comes knocking. You never know. Nice car whatever you decide to do. Any under hood pics?

In this crappy economy 10k

In this crappy economy 10k

Yeah, about!

I know a local guy with 30K easy in his 93, and he can't get an offer over 15. :shrug:

yeah tell me about it.. I have over 30k in the car easy.. I should add up all my receipts and calculate it. I saved tons of money cause I did like over 90% of all the work myself too!
And yeah everyone tells me the same thing about how good it still looks for having so much miles, but it has always lived a pampered life from the previous owners aswell.
The car has 2 small little dents that arent noticeable unless I tell you where they are and a couple of light scratches on the door and thats about it.
I'll look for some pictures of under hood, I know I have some around here somewhere...

 

[03BlownSnake]

2 that I have of it.. although the intake coming off the turbo has been changed..

 

[buddha93]

Damn, that's nice. :thumbsup:

How are the underhood temps? Did you make the inlet pipe for it, or is that an upgrade to the Hellion kit?

Hotrods and toys are great until you try and sell them, even in a good economy. It seems like every person that comes looking wants something for nothing. If it were me, and you obiously know what your doing, I'd pull the turbo and tranny out and get it as close as to stock as you could get it before I'd let it go for anything less than $20,000.

Oh ya, I don't add the receipts, it'll just depress you.......lol! No doubt you've got 30k in it if you bought the parts new.

BEAUTIFUL!!!

I recently tried to sell my turbo 91 coupe and didn't get any offers over $8K. I determined that since I didn't need to sell it, I'd just hang on to it until times are better. Yours is considerably nicer than mine, for sure - but I'm afraid you wouldn't get what it's really worth. If you gotta sell, then dow what you have to. If not, I'd strongly recommend hanging on to it.

If you don't mind me asking, what spindles are you using in the front and what width is the rear (i.e. std. Fox, 93 Cobra, or SN95?). I'm looking at doing some 03 Cobra wheels on mine and these pics help me make that decision...

 

[bad93svt]

I am the local guy kevin spoke about..
I added 17k in reciepts for parts alone
I bought the car for 10k 4 years ago (thought I stole it at the time)
so I would say 30k invested plus like you, I do all the work myself & a friends help. so figure another 5k in labor.
It got bid to 15100 on ebay. I seriously considered it..but what kept me from selling it besides the principal sake is..

Replacement cost. If I sold it for 15-16... what could I buy?
the question is, a used honda civic..
with that being said.. advertise it on autotrader--run it til it sells-- ask what you would be happy with.
you will get every tom dick & harry calling negotiating over the phone.
be a dick, until the right person comes & buys it..

in the mean time. beat it, personalize it.. & have no regrets of the money you have lost. (our cars aren't collectible modifed)
and since they don't have under 10k miles they will probably never be.

hope this sheds light .

It does get very hot, alot more then I want actually, but I have been hesitant to buy a cowl hood cause I know the paint matching will be difficult and I dont want the "sleeper" look messed with either...
The inlet pipe I made cause I had to recirculate the blow-off air back into the intake when I went with the Lightning meter cause I pegged the meter that came with the Hellion kit.

If I remember correctly, the front spindles/hubs are off a 95 cause it was the same as the 93 cobra spacing
And the rear is off a 98 GT cause it was also the same as the 93 Cobra backspacing.
Sorry I cant give you exact years. Its been a long time since I did this modification. And yes I did the work myself too
