Default WTB: SPB

Debating buy versus build for my next SPB

With that in mind please PM me if you have a SPB for sale.

Thanks

Mine is always for sale! We build, race, and then sell once they are sorted and proven winners.

I may be parting with my build. New kid on the way in March.

Punchline: built a SPB, got divorced, got remarried, new kid on the way - never driven, everything is still new, but never log booked.

Summary:
Bought low mileage, no story 1999 boxster in 2013 (39,000 miles).
Started build late 2013 / early 2014.
Spec sheet and parts provided by John Gladwill (including lots of Tarett parts - wheel studs, racing exhaust, shift riser, etc etc)
Engine and tranny removed / refreshed, including IMS update.
Cage installed in late 2015 by Lucas Racing in Houston, including
*Spa Fire system
*FAST cool system
*Nascar door bars
*harnesses (should still be valid).

Zero miles on engine
Zero miles on tranny
Zero miles on suspension
Essentially, everything is just like it was put on last month.

I have 3 sets of OEM staggered wheels as well.

It's actually at a shop now to get a few minor things done. Move the fuse box, take down the sharp edges, make it pretty (not painting it though)

I don't think I'll ever be able to race it given current situations, so I'm really considering letting it go.

I'm not really familiar with the market now, but I suspect a race ready version build is probably around 30K+. Given that, I would be willing to let this one go for ~$25K-$27.5K range. But if my senses are way off on this, please feel free to let me know where the market really is. I've been out of the circle for a while.

It is currently "on the market" down here in houston as well. I can dig up some pics shortly and post in this thread.
