    $5000.


    $5250 if you put floorboards and real seats in it.

    Based on what I see (and this has nothing to do with my view of the car) I would guess that if this car was put on ebay today the winning bid would be between 12 to 14 grand. probably a couple thou more a year ago. I highly doubt a hamber would be the winning bidder. :)

    When does "History" begin for a car, at the end of the assembly line or two or three months ago when somebody found an old coupe body and threw it and some other old parts together to make an eBay car?

    Yeah it would likely bring a good buck on the 'net.

  8. Between 10K-14K, assuming it's street legal, registerable, and actually has some kind of glass in it. If not, then less. It may also be a tough sell because the severe channel really cuts down on the headroom, so a lot of guys aren't going to fit in it very well. It would look better with the body raised 3-4 inches, IMHO.

  10. Value of any vehicle relies on only one factor...

    What a buyer is willing to pay.

  13. There's a bunch of stupid stuff on Ebay since they came up with their new "no cost" listing plan. No sell...no pay. Lot's of boneheads out there fishing for a sucker.

    If you haven't noticed, damn near everything has come to a screeching halt with the fall of the stock market last week. I've been trying to sell a very nice '23 track roadster for $8K and don't even have people asking for photos or more details.

    I would say about 11,000 to 14,000 range. IMHO

    I wouldn't want it. With the heavy channel, chop and no seats it's only a zip code car, meaning you will only want to drive it around your town because it's so uncomfortable. Really how far are you going to drive it!

    I'm pretty shure this car was built by a short lil fucker. I agree with prices above.

    absolutely!
     
  21. Looks like the word "history" is beginning to get thrown around as casually as the word "traditional".

    how is a person supposed to guess as to the value of the car with no details?

    there is a very good chance that car is complete junk and is just a bunch of parts booger welded together and rolling. can't tell from the pics.

    I remember seeing that car on some classified page somewhere, it was 15 or 17, if I remeber right. It was a while ago and yes the market has flattened so to speak, soooooooo all the 10 to 14's sound right, I would guess.

    $50,000.00 Wow, I was thinkin it was a typo, and he wanted $12,900. At that price I thought it was an honest deal. Anyway, as for the coupe, I would put it up for $15,000 obo and see what happenes.
     
  25. Here's a couple pics of it, that I saved from 2004... I don't know how much further it's "history" goes back, as a rod anyways.

    Built by the same guy that built the green tiki car from the looks of the logo on the door and the "style".

    I like the ZIP CODE CAR statement,

    You wouldn't be able to stand up straight after a half hour in it.....

    The wife painted the bathroom wall that color one time.
    Yep all you had to do was look at that color blue and no constipation.
