What's it worth? 77 hotrod edition

[misterwaterfall]

Im kicking around the idea of selling my 77 hotrod. It's a blast to drive, I just don't make time to get it out and the funds could probably be better utilized elsewhere. I'm the third owner, it runs like a top, and doesn't need a thing.
Basics: 3.2 twin plug, 915 with LSD, steel widebody flares, RSA seats, RS door cards, all of the rennline interior goodies and WEVO shifter. Motor/trans are great, paint is an early 90s respray that isn't bad but isn't great.

Full rundown:
Suspension

• Weltmeister Cambermeister strut brace
• 22mm Weltmeister through body front sway bar
• 22mm Weltmeister rear sway bar
• 19mm 930 Front Torsion Bars
• 26mm 930 Rear Torsion Bars
• Bilstien Sport Front Shocks
• Bilstien Sport Rear Shocks
• Lowered
• Turbo Tie Rod Ends
• Bump Steer Kit
• Front end rebuilt ~1993 when new engine went in
• New HD bushings installed when the new torsion bars and shocks were done
• OZ racing wheels just Plasti Koted black. They were originally gold but was looking for a more modern look. Plasti Kote can be peeled off if you want he original gold look.
• New Rakin Raptor Tires (made by Michelin). 225/50/16 front, 245/50/16 rear. I choose these because they have very good reviews, are all W rated unlike the RE11’s. I also went to a 50 on the rear sidewall to make street driving smoother with the tight suspension in the car
• Spare tire and toolkit (shows it’s age but tire looks good)
• Cleaned and coated front suspension parts with Por15


Brakes:

• Stainless Steel Brake Lines
• 930 Turbo Front & Rear Calipers (Rears and spacers redrilled by VCI) http://www.vehiclecraft.com/Brakes/930_upgrade.htm
• Vehicle Craft Inc (VCI) Drilled rear and Slotted Front discs
• Brakes are non floating
• Larger 23mm Master Cylinder
• Front Brake Cooler backs hooked up to front valance with new silicon cooling hoses
• Brake Fluid ATE Super Blue (NOS I had)
• Extra set of used but lots left Pagid Orange pads for track DE use

Motor and Trans

• 1988 3.2L Motor Purchased in 1992 from PAP w/ 22K miles on motor and ~130K miles on car
• Motor top end 3.2L rebuilt ~15K Miles ago and made twin plug. Reason for rebuild was previously installed supercharger burned one of the pistons.
• Compression warm (PSI) 170,170,164,170,170,165
• Leak Down cold <3%, <3%, 3%, 3%, <3%, 4% . No leaking can be heard from intake, oil tank or exhaust No broken head studs, checked during recent valve adjust.
• Trans 915 w/ ZF LSD gone through ~30K miles ago
• Replaced Engine Support Bar during engine swap
• SSI exhaust
• Stock 2 in 1 out muffler that was opened a bit and a larger SS tip welded on. Looks good and sounds good!! But not to loud and annoying
• Twin Plug, heads machining by Ollies
• Porsche twin plug distributor from 3.6 motor just rebuilt and new belt added
• High Voltage silicon ignition wires recommended by Crane, NGK B8ES plugs top and bottom
• New rubber distributor caps just replaced
• Lower plug hold downs
• Turbo Valve Covers
• Dual Crane HI-6 CD boxes and Dual Crane PS-92 Coils to drive twin plugs that works with DME
• New engine compartment heat/sound shield just installed
• Oil, Filter and Fuel Filter just changed. The fuel filter was cut open after running it for period to insure here wasn’t any contamination from the refinishing of the fuel tank.. Nothing found in filter.
• Fuel system was flushed out and fuel tank removed, cleaned and coated inside with Bill Hirsch Sealer inside making sure none got on the stir pot. Tank was coated with Por 15 on the bottom outside and texture put back on and repainted black on bottom, standard grey on top
• Earls Front Oil Cooler
• New battery (just replaced)
• Electrical Kill Switch
• Motor and trans mounts replaced with heavy duty versions
• Shifter connector replaced
• Performance Clutch
• Autothority Chip. SW wasn’t around when I did this but I’m sure his chip could extract some more HP if the engine is described to him
• Short Shift Kit
• New Oil Pressure sender (just replaced)
• K&N Air Filter (just cleaned)
• New Fan Belt (just replaced)
• Valves adjusted
• Just changed Trans fluid with Kendall 80-w-90 GL-5 with LSD additive
• No oil leaks anywhere on engine or trans

Body
• H4 lights and painted rings
• New bulbs all around and all lights operate
• Refinished front and rear running lights and new seals in rear
• New HD hood lifts (just installed) that are supposed to be guaranteed for life.
• Tail is a 3.8 RSR with Carbon Fiber wing from TRG. If you prefer the older 930 tail I’m sure this one could be sold to more than cover the costs
• AIR 930S Front Spoiler with Fog Light opening modded to brake coolers
• The huge rear heavy US rubber bumpers were removed to save weight in the rear. I still have them if you want to put them back on. Holes were filled with JB weld so you can see them from the back side if you want to redrill them and put the heavy bumpers back on
• New windshield rubber when I did the dash and new drivers window felt and outer felt both sides and rubber both sides.
• All fuses just changed to new ones
• Undercoating was put on by PO, I just refreshed it cleaning some of the old off and shooting new in the wheel wells.
• Wrap in satin black on hood and tail. This can be easily removed if you want all white. Reason this was done is to give a more hot rod look. Should be good for 10 years if car is kept inside.

Any Rust?
Clean Title?
Tags?
How long have you owned?
Track time?
How old is the build?
Shop doing build?

Great car.

Hotrods are very hard to price and CA market is out likely wont pass smog here.

A few variables but you should get a few experts to provide number ranges.

[misterwaterfall]

Thanks for the input. No rust, clean WA title. Originally a Florida car then Georgia. Current tags and I’ve owned it for 4 years. Shop did the motor and trans work. I have receipts for all of the major stuff and most of the small stuff as well. It has some track time in the 80s and early 90s, but has been long sense retired from track duty.

Unfiltered answer. As-is $40-50k. With different cosmetics like wing, black hood, black wheels, black shark fin stone protector, yellow and red accents on motor, etc. car could fetch $70-80k safely. Haven’t seen interior or undercarriage

I don’t have any current interior pics, will try to grab a few shortly.

I think Nate is spot on here IMHO

[Macroni]

I agree change rear spoiler to a duck, standard front valance and a set of 9&11X15" Fuch replicas.

[BLACK3.2]

Yep, largely agree with Macroni and Nathan.

The market likes G body cars riding on Fuchs.

Consider going to standard valence and also standard rear decklid without wing. In my opinion the ducktail doesn’t look right on a car with impact bumpers.

[misterwaterfall]

Thanks for the input guys. Sounds like I at least have a reason to buy some new parts.

It looks great from this angle. My quarrel is from the rear, but of course taste is personal. If OP wants to make a sale to maximize his profit, then a standard decklid will be less polarizing.
