Thanks guys. I'll stick the car in storage untill spring if I have to. It really is a great car with no expense spared. Wish I could keep both as they serve very different purposes in the stable. "Do I want to thrash around town and make a bunch of noise and wreak havoc on unsuspecting town folk or do I want to cruise around in subtle comfort?" Those are the options I could have if I kept both
That said, I'm not looking for a quick sale where I will lose my a$$ on the car. I figure there must be some guys out there who want a hot rod widebody and may have interest.
This all begs the question. What can you expect to get back out of a hot rod build like this?
Driver level SC = $20k
Body conversion = $15k minimum
Mechanicals, seats, electronics = $38k
This car is $73k minimum to replicate. $35k is less than 50% (of someone's investment)
