Like I said in my PM to awoods, I'm not super serious about selling it, because it's actually not a shell, it's a pretty well sorted complete Time Trials car.

It's just that if I were to part the car out (which I've been contemplating off and on for a while since I hardly ever drive it) the hardest thing to sell will probably be the shell/cage. So I was thinking if I could sell that first, it would be a lot easier to part out the drivetrain at a later date.

Considering the cage was around $5k new IIRC, I think the bare shell should be worth around that much even with the bit of body work it needs 'cause it does have a clean title/vin. But the price would vary depending on if the buyer wants the RaceTech seats, harnesses, window nets, etc. Or it they want a roller with the suspension and/or brakes on the car rather than just the shell.

Really, the shell would be ideal for someone that's planning on doing a wide-body race car that already has a built drivetrain waiting to go into it... the interior/cage is pretty much all set to go racing, but the fenders/bumpers need work which would be covered by the widebody anyway.

The bottom line is, I probably won't sell it unless I have a reasonable expectation of parting the everything out to the tune of about $20k, because that's what I'd need to buy a Porsche.
