Nothing until you decide to fix all the issues you keep making new threads about.

ask 5k for it if its in great condition.



EDIT: Bridge ported motor on stock electronics?? That car is instantly worth the value of a shell to me. If that is halfassed, what else is...

LOLOLOLOLOL!

It looks pretty nice. You got rid of most of the things that make the GTU less desirable. It all comes down to how it runs. If you have paperwork for the rebuild/port or at least some dyno sheets to back it up then I would say 3500 to 4000 on the high end. 3000 for a quick sale.

A good roller with a blown engine usually sells for about $500. I would ask $800 for it and then see who bites.

How was the TII transmission mated to the NA differential?

yeah since it's not at all a stock motor, a dyno sheet would seriously improve the value of it.
and yes, I'd run a small bridge port on a stock n/a computer and it didn't run great but I'd say it made a lot more power than stock.

it was an honest answer but realistically i would look at it as an incomplete project which you will be lucky to get $2k for, only because it has most of the major parts, a few upgrades, clean paint and nice wheels.

why would anyone spend more for a naturally aspirated car that doesn't start, run and drive that has a blue book value of only just slightly more than that for a GOOD RUNNING CONDITION CAR.

in all honestly you'll be lucky to get $1.5k, or about the same if you part it out.

you conveniently forgot to mention that in the original question of the car's value, which is super ******* annoying.

The engine is hosed, so the only advantage of it "running" is that at least a prospective buyer can test drive the car to check the condition of the suspension, steering, transmission, etc. At this point your car is basically a good roller because the next owner will need to rebuild the engine, and it sounds like some major parts will need to be replaced. When the engine finally lets loose then you will get even less for the car, at which point you would be better off stripping it and selling the individual parts. Fix the engine and then you will get more money for the car. Don't fix it and get less. This should make sense to any reasonable person.

Also, you didn't answer the question about mating the TII transmission to the NA differential. It's OK if you don't want to answer that question on this forum, but any serious buyer will want to know that information because most cars like this are ghetto-rigged, and sometimes they are downright dangerous.

Don't post questions on internet forums if you can't handle the answers. For those whose feelings get hurt easily, simply post the car for sale in the classified section and put whatever price on it that you wish.
