> [@Henry](#): > > KBB for this area is just under 3k Yeah, but KBB is for stock vehicles so it doesn’t remotely apply here. At the same time trying to add up everything you have into it and hoping to get that back out is probably a stretch too. People do projects like these for the enjoyment of the build or the enjoyment of the end result because they rarely get the money back out. It looks like a fun little toy but I doubt you’ll find someone willing to drop almost $11k on it. ---

God that thing is awesome! Problem here is really the fully gutted / no ac thing. It’ll be a hard sell at anything more then 7-8K really and even then you’ll have to find the right buyer. ---

I’d spend another $1K putting an interior in it and getting that paint buffed out. An LS1 E36 is wild enough to find an ass for it’s seat (that’s the first time I’ve ever seen that swap), but you’ve gotta clean the looks up. Even if it runs awesome and rips low 11 quarters, it still looks like an unfinished project, and that hurts the value. Otherwise, wow. What a sleeper. Is turbociv looking for a sedan? 😛 🙂 ---

I’d value this car at 5k. It’s harsh, but about right. If you had done this to a mint condition E36 M3 with full interior then it would be 10k ---

Its a gutted race car with a LS1 at this point. Maybe you will find the right person for this? I still don’t know why people build things like this and try and turn around and sell it then wonder why its not worth a lot… ---
