Thanks for the heads up about the Cobra. I just bought a all aluminum body Kirkham Cobra with a 482 ci aluminum block. It is now on it's way from Tampa.

David - Can't believe you are selling after you just finished the car. Good luck

Hey Guys,

I have had some interest buying the car. Do you think it is over priced?

Be honest

I know I need pic's but the car is at Hergeshimers's for battery tender and a complete once over to make sure everything is right.

If it hasn't sold and the car has zero issues then yes your price is too high. If you need the money lower the price, if you don't then its just going to take longer to sell as it needs the right kind of buyer.

You have a price in your head that you know you would accept if someone was to call right now and offer you so just list it at the price and sit on it until it sells. No matter what this isn't a great time to be selling :/

Modified cars always limit your buyers...kinda like having a pool in real estate. I'm not sure if you can realistically get a substantial amount more for mods...it just speeds up the sale sometimes.

Your mods are tasteful though, best of luck!

That and with the economy. So whatever you think the car worth just lower it by $15K.

Your car is a gem, with a tremendous amount of upgrades, exactly how I would set one up. That alone may tend to scare off some buyers who may want something closer to stock. Usually I suggest demodding a car for a quick sale, but yours isn't really a candidate for that option. If you want a quick sale in this economy, with those kinda mods, you're going to have to go down even farther I'm afraid. Like Scott mentioned the potential pool of buyers is very small for 993tt's as it is, even smaller for modded cars, and tiny for heavily modded examples.
