ID LIKE TO TRY TO SELL THE CAR AS A WHOLE FIRST- SO I WONT BE PARTING IT OUT JUST YET> People who are interested in the chassis + please contact me. ALL THOSE WHO ARE INTERESTED IN JUST PARTS please wait to make offers.
So here's my thoughts.
The car broken down:
Griggs Racing GR40 World Challenge Road Race suspension Kit w welded in through & under subframes and torque box reinforcements, bumpsteer kit, tubular k-member, tubular front control arms, S95 adjustable castor links (10.5 degrees caster), Tubular rear control arms, tubular torque-arm cross member, torque-arm, adjustable watts link w aluminum studded diff cover, caster camber plates, etc etc $7100+ Cobra R front Brake Kit w 93 Cobra Master Cylinder: $600 Griggs Racing 4 on 4 rear brakes w 12.75 two-piece rotors $2700 Hawk HPS brake pads front and rear $250 Modified Sn95 spindles for more angle/quick steer $300 Kirk Racing custom 8-point cage w dual nascar bars 1.25 DOM cage $800 Custom modifed steering rack $250 CNC hydraulic E-brake w inline residual pressure valve (creates slight drag on brakes to keep brakes at operating temps at all times) $200 Koni Double adjustable coil-overs custom-valved $1600 Tremec Built T-5 (rated to 450hp) $600 Moser 31 spline 8.8 5-lug axles $300 3:11 rear end gear 17x8 30mm offset Rota D2 rims (fronts) $300 18x9 35mm offset Rota D2 Rims (rears) $400 H&R hub-centric 25mm spacers $150 Paxton SL1200 supercharger kit (w 2 pulleys) $2600 Vortech "race bracket", pulleys, tensioners, hard pipe, BOV, etc etc $400 Trick Flow 255lph fuel pump $150 302 engine w headers, $1600 in head work, $400 head gaskts, ARP Head studs, titatium springs, new valves....etc etc. $500 New 6-peice headlight kit $100 Brake Proportioning valve $35 Pro Mass Air Systems MAF $100 Big Radiator $100 Fuel Injectors (42 or 48?) $250 Chassis-- (can I really charge for that?) +_____ $19,800 Not going to include- seats, harnesses, pretty hood, lightbar,...
That doesnt include the $2500 I paid for the car, or any of the labor/time spent building the car. Obviously I cant/dont plan on trying to recoup the costs of everything. I tried to low-ball all the prices a little bit, and I know nothing is new. I also didnt list all the little things like the battery, battery relocation kit, steel braided brake lines, tires on the car, shifter, clutch, polycarbonite windows (doors), etc etc etc. I'm considering offers over $8,000 (minus the blower setup), and not sure yet if I want to part it out. The chassis, If parted out, will include the cage (obviously) & sub-frames welded in, and torque-arm mount, and spare tire cover plate. I dont want a hundred e-mails saying "I'll buy your coil-overs for $500", or "I call dibs on the caster plates". Use this forum to post your thoughts or offers- no bs please. I'm obviously not in a hurry to sell it, and am not hard up for cash. The only thing I'd consider trading for is a S197. I would consider selling it minus motor/drivetrain, or minus wheels, susp- whatever. Please only serious, funded people e-mail me (dont PM) dpracingdan@gmail.com Thanks!

Exclusions by make, model or model year just suck. It would be nice for them to make a class for the older cars, say pre-90. That way if someone wants to run a turbo'd Mazda RX2, a LS1 240Z or an early Fox can still participate. Not everyone has an open checkbook.
