Alex, there is a world of difference between a stripped, early impreza, no title, junkyard rally shell with a cage, and a wrx shell with full interior minus seats, clean vin chassis. My car is not just street legal, it's actually streetable if you're not running the noisy swirl can/pump in the trunk.

Plus as a roller, my car has $4000 suspension and $3000 brakes. The cage is built to scca showroom stock rules and would need extensive modification for rally. The car has an scca club race log book, and that's really where it should be raced.

Hell, the headlights alone are worth $1000 if I sold them seperately.

I have no doubt that selling my car will be a massive financial loss. But comparing the sale of a $20000 pgt build for $5000 is not the same as comparing a $50000 build for $5000. Even if I parted the car out for half the cost of the parts alone, I would still be expecting over $20k. I don't think I'm drastically overvaluing my shell at $5000.
