Been a while.  Looks like I may need to part with the car...ton of shit going on.  Trying to decide if I am better to sell the car as a whole, or sell the parts putting it back to stock. 

 

I'm looking for feedback on price on it as a whole:  2012 SRT Challenger - 22k miles across 2 engines

 

Arrington 426 - about 5k-7k miles

4032 Mahle pistons

Billet Main Caps

Thitek Heads

Maggie

ATI 17% OD Super Damper

McLeod RXT Clutch

DSS Single Piece Aluminum DS

Full Gforce  9 inch rear end – 1400 axles

QuickTime Bellhousing

Nitrous Outlet wet spray kit – 100 shot right now

Line Lock

3 Pod Gauges – nitrous, AFR/Boost/

Damn Murray, sorry to read this.

 

I think it depends on your threshold for time consumption/pain.  Parting out and selling parts individually can make you more $ than one big depreciated package deal, but requires lots of effort.

[muzza61]

Yeh, that's what I am trying to balance, so wondering what I can get for the car with the build.  The need is not immediate, but I need to get some ducks lined up if needed.

[SmallBlockMuscle]

Line lock, gauges, and nitrous should be relatively easy to pull and sell I would think. At least to get you started with some cash

WHAT!?

 

You'll take a bath if you sell it as a package.  I've never seen one go for much over KBB used value so go look that up and there's your price plus maybe $1000?

 

I always said if I ever sell mine, I'll post it as a package for 1 week, then put it back to stock.  You could try that.  I had a CBR1000RR bike a few years ago and put it up for sale cheap as a package and didn't get one nibble.  Parted it out, put it back to stock and sold it in 1 week.  I got more for the bike + parts than I was asking for the package BY FAR so it was definitely worth it.

 

I'm gonna be nosey and ask what's up to have to sell the car?  CF wouldn't be the same without you?

 

We poured out a little beer for you this year too Denise

[muzza61]

Thanks Speedy.  Couple of things really - I find that the car is just sitting in the driveway most of the time not even getting driven, and I quit my job for a start-up earlier in the year, so just lining up plan B's.  No issues for a while, but keeping an eye on escape routes if shit hits the fan.  Parting it out would take some time, but the best way to not take a bath on it as you say.  Bummer though.

Oh really

 

I'll be at the next CF come hell or high water.  Murray better be there too, even if it's with a Hyundai.

[Goehner]

Hate to see you sell it, but taking care of the family and the future is way more important.

[El Diablo]

This blows Murray, hate to see it but I fully understand some times you have to do what you have to do.

 

If you have the time and energy, parting it out will net you wayyyyyy more return and you will sell the car 10 times faster and get more out of the car itself.

Fuck Murray I hate seeing this shit. Call me a scumbag but I'll go $5000 right now if you need the money that bad......... I'm sure Phil will go $6000......Ok then, that's what I thought. Now part that thing out.
Better yet, keep that thing and drive the piss out of it once a year in Kentucky.
MMF won't be the same with you
Don't be selfish
Think of the ones who led you down this road. You Wanker

In that case Murray, I'd wait.  People can get jumpy at times and I find it best to just settle down and let the chips fall.  Things will likely be just fine and you'll miss the car if you sell it.  Mine sits parked a lot too, but I love that thing.

 

You're a charismatic guy and I'm sure the startup will work out, and if not you obviously have the experience to find something else.

 

See you at CF next year

[muzza61]

Thanks all. We have a couple of lots too, so maybe part with those first if needed. Thinking about selling parts sucks after having them all come in during the build and building up a monster. A lot of sweat- and dents in the wall from throwing tools I sure would miss CF...but hey, maybe Avis could set me up with a vagina and a pack of burritos - so that I would have something to do on my way down the track with no stick.

Murry , what everyone else said, i'll buy that blueish air cleaner on the second picture of your car.

 

 

 Hey Kevin, part yours out and get one that runs.

[srt5939]

Sorry to see you go this route. I had a blast watching you run at CF7. I may be interested in the long block if you deside t sell it.

Hate to hear this......loved pitting next to you and your buddy this year.  Hope things take off at the new job so you can stop this silly banter!

 

Best of luck!
