So the dreaded day has come. My current position at work has me in a position where I dont want to look for a new place of employment, yet does not yet pay me enough to compelte my car, get married and purchase a home. I have been holding on to this car for 3 years now, waiting for the day i would really be able to put the money it deserves into it.. but a home has to come first, so the car needs to go.
As far as price, i ahve never sold a stripped car. I do know what i paid for the car as well as the cage, which to me shouldnt loose any value because the car never made it to the track, nor been hit. Car was barely drivable when purchased for $2500 + $1600 for cage.
As far as taking the car away, its up to the seller. I can possibly assist with a truck/trailer if you are local, but would add to final price, and have to be somewhat close.

Car has been almost completely stripped. The plan was for paint this year, but it isnt going to happen. This is the current state of the car. (I will get more pics loaded up soon)
Cage was done at DGR Fabrication in South bay and Dan did an amazing job. I really wish i could have gotten her out on the track to test it out.
I have everything that was removed from car except the following:
1. Motor - was no good when car was purchased
2. tranny - Dogleg 5 spd with bad gears.. got rid of it
3. brake and fuel lines - rusted and bad already
4. Interior - only interior it had when purchased was prelude seats, rest was moldy and torn
5. Dash
6. hood
My intentions for car were to be a track only car.. but plans have obviously changed and i bought a new truck.
Car is rust free and straight except for a dent on the passenger side. No creases and cant be fixed. i will post pics this evening.

Post any questions here, I will get to them as soon as I can. Also, i am free Tuesdays and Thursdays for anyone who is local and wants to see teh car in person. I will also be taking new pics asap and posting them up.
lastly, I don't need anyone's criticism.. Yes, I stripped the car, no I didn't finish it.. and yes its for sale.. Im already heartbroken I cant afford to keep her. I have sacrificed everything to try to keep it and finish it. I don't live in my own place, canceled vacations, etc.. but I cant do it anymore. I have to have my own place, and right now the car is seriously holding that up.
