It might be worth $10K if you want an LS swapped 996.
The car, and the Renegade swap kit is probably worth that.
At least you might have a rebuildable LS, or an LS core.
I imagine someone will pay $10K for it.
I wonder what Tavarish paid for the crispy Ferrari.

As I recall, he installed a LS-2 instead of a LS-3, which resulted in having to add an additional gauge or two to the steering column. I would plan on scrapping the LS-2 and installing a new crate motor. It's probably worth 10k, but that's all the money in my opinion.

This Hoovie character's 996 Frankenstein is a perfect example of turning a sow's ear into barbecue. I have a associate that owns a nice 1999 Carrera Coupe with 142K miles that is willing to sell it for $15,000. It's not perfect, but far better all around than Hoovie's monstrosity. I would think it would make better sense to just replace the car or find a donor like 808Bill did with his Hawaiian roller. But I presume that would not make for a popular YouTube channel then.

So...a 1999 with 248,000+ miles + used a renegade hybrid kit = $10K
Keeping in mind that, since he bought it for $9,500.00 (with a running engine) he has done little more than put the cheapest LS he could find into it, and abuse it.

If my memory serves me well, he has almost $30,000 in the car when you had the costs of the LS motor, plus whatever he gave the "wizard" to install it.

He did add a ducktail, but he didn't paint it.
There are certainly better candidates for an LS swap.
I think I'll keep a flat six in my 996.

IMHO the only reasons to LS swap are for cheap HP and so you can use cheaper engine parts.
The V8 sound is nice, but I think my flat six with Fabspeed exhaust sounds even better!
