I have an oppt to buy a really nice street Porsche and am wondering what my race car would go for these days.
Its the former Grantsfo pirate ship... been sitting here unused for the last 2 years... and I've used it twice... Yeah, I know. Here's a short list of things: '74 low mile chassis FG trunks, bumpers, and flares 5-6 year old 2.5 purpose built /6 motor, carb, twin plug LSD transmission 5 lug / full suspension Cage Kirkley seat 2 sets of wheels Known issues: LSD slips Engine smokes after sitting long periods Carbs likely need cleaning Package would include nice Carson steel open deck trailer. What's it worth? Attached thumbnail(s) |

What I did when pricing mine.
I started at one end of the car with a pad & pencil and figured (as honestly as possible) what I could get by parting it out. I mentally prepared my self to do so if I could not near that number as a complete car. It was quite a revelation. I was over 22K still hadn't included the chassis, spares, tools, truck, trailer, yada. It was not something I was looking forward to but I was offered 20K & took it. My car was in perfect running condition (and it wasn't built by Grant (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ). Yours is not and it is tough to figure what yours needs & how much that is gonna cost. Parting it out is a viable option. Brit sold off most of the running gear (less the trans) & all the conversion parts...and the stuff went quick. The funds weren't quite what it took to do the change over to Subie power.....but the went a little Ga Ga on that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

Robs car was built by both JD Racing and Rich Bontempi. Rob has also done work on the car since buying it from me. Very well respected names in the business. If you want to trash their reputations on line you go for it my friend. Or is your intent is to hurt Rob and his family financially by bashing his car? Ask numerous drivers of the car about how terrible it was. LOL! ...And your car was far from perfect and had plenty of issues. You forget Brit talks with Brad and I spent time with him in San Diego looking at all the repairs that hadnt been done. Remember all of his excuses at San Diego??? LOL! Guess its easy to forget all the issues when you are getting senile. |
