What should I pay for a tub?

[Fixer]

A friend has a very modified SC tub. No rust but very cut up. It needs quarters, fenders, bumpers et cetera. It has a clean title. No interior, its a roller though.
He wants $12k. Is this the new normal?

Seems steep. I would say more like $7k to $8k

no thats not normal. get a 75 or older too, in case you decide to sell in the future. It opens up a wider pool of buyers from states like CA with strict smog laws.

Thanks, that's what I thought.

Next question, what would that same tub be worth if built into a shell like your longhood RSR, $40k? Ready for assembly in other words.
I think if so, maybe it's worth it.

Your build is looking great btw!

Thanks I agree. I thought it was 74 though. Good to know.

Well..you never said it was a 993! Congrats. Hopefully some of our pontificating here helped you get that fair deal.
