Power/Price estimates?

tmoss · 10-03-2006, 07:24 AM

welcome to the money pit - selling a car with driveability problems can only de-value the car unfortunately. It's worth what someone is willing to pay for it.

Have you put an aluminum drive shaft in it to be sure it's not a balance problem with the shaft? How about checking the balancer to see if it has spun on the hub?

I might have to make myself take a look at it. I've had lots of fun in the past with this car, but it's time for me to part with it.

I definatley forgot to mention that it's bored out. It's a 308. The engines rebuilt. New Main/rod bearings. All of it. It also has a fresh oil pan, and TransGO shift kit. Anyone else?

What do you think I could ask for the car if it was running well?

Unfortunately for you it is hard to sale a Fox vert as it is. A Fox vert with driveability issues wont be an easy sale at all.

I would say 3500-4200 dollars is all you would be able to get.

As far as HP goes, with the auto tranny you are probably making 280-290 RWHP.

I would fix it and stick it on Ebay with a reserve price. You would reach a much larger audience that way and might find a vert lover.

Good luck,
