What's it worth?

Ok with all the talk of everyone’s new acquires and all the neat stuff floating around I was trying to think of what my car is worth…

What’s everyone think?
1986 ascMcLaren Capri Coupe - #026. 78,000 original miles. Everything but the actual frame is new though…lol.

The new motor is an R block (Bulletproof bottom end) 347 stroker (shhhhh

) with less than 2k miles.

Does the original block go with the car if I buy it?

$8k would be my target price to buy it I think.

Who knows, put it on ebay and see.

The perfect black 86 at ascMcLaren.com is STILL available for $12k (20k miles). So I'm sorry to say if that car can't crack the $10k mark...yours probably won't either.

Should it? Hell yeah. You car should be worth $15k. Realistically...its not.

Yeah I was offered 20k (and apparently I'm silly for not selling lol) but I guess to someone who want's something stock it's not worth anything...

I think $20K would have been quite a record.

It might have bumped all our cars up a notch.

Rare cars that are modified take a beating in value. Always have, always will. If you have all your original parts to go with the car including radio, speakers etc, that may really help crank it up some.

I just watch what gets listed at ascmclaren.com and elsewhere and super nice coupes go for under $10k. I'd love to start seeing them

Mike,

I'd love to have your car! I agree it is worth every cent of $15000.00-20000.00. But for now the market has not realized the value of these cars, it will come.

If I were you, I wouldn't sell it. You've got quality time doing something you enjoy,not to mention the time with your father doing something you both enjoy, the memory's associated with the car are worth more than the car at this point. If you sold it, some day you'd wish you had it back!

I am looking forward to the day my son and I can do the things you and your father do! For now, he race's me on the lawn mower every chance he gets. All I see is a little PW-50 go smoking bye! Wait until my TT-600 is back together, then we will see what happens!

You guys surprise me ! This is a pristine car, that shows like a champion, too. Never raced nor abused ! Only used to go to the First Calvery Church of Lower Bensalem weekly.

Seriously now..... Do you really think it's only worth $11,000?

Mike; keep the car. I'd put the car at $ 17,000, minus whatever it needs to make it perfection.

I guess the 20k was based on all the mods PLUS the fact that the car is rare/nice etc.

I don't plan on selling it...I was just wondering...

...and if I did sell it I'd get another one for me and pop to mess with...

EDIT: I have thought about Ebaying it just to see...lol

Sure, if I wanted a car EXACTLY like what you have done to yours, it would be worth $20k.

My car may be worth $6k when I'm done. Its probably going to have $30k "invested" into it.

You'll have to pry the keys out of my cold dead hands..

My wife is already plotting my demise, I swear.
