I may be parting with my build. New kid on the way in March. I don't think I'll ever be able to race it given current situations, so I'm really considering letting it go.

Punchline: almost finished a SPB, got divorced, got remarried, new kid on the way - never driven, everything on the car is new - zero miles. Never log booked. I have no idea what the range might be, so I would like to ask here.

• I was thinking somewhere in the low-mid 20's, but I honestly don't know if that's the "he really doesn't want to sell it price" or the "something is wrong with the car price."

Summary:
Bought low mileage, no story 1999 boxster in 2013 (39,000 miles). Started build early 2014.
The spec sheet for parts and the parts themselves were provided by John Gladwill (which included a lot of Tarett parts - (wheel studs, racing exhaust, shift riser, etc etc))
Cage installed in late 2015 by Lucas Racing in Houston
The car has sat in my garage in or the shop since the build.

• No miles on engine since the build
• No miles on tranny since the build
• No miles on suspension since the build
• No wear on seat / steering wheel / etc.
• Car and parts alone come to around 35K+, and everything is essentially like it was just put on.
• Part numbers are on the receipts in the following posts.
• Pics way below [I don't have any very recent pics of the car, as it's been at the shop]

It's at the shop now to get a few final things done before log booking: moving the fuse box, take down the sharp edges from cage build, making it pretty (but not painting it though)

I'm not really familiar with the market now, but I've seen cars ranging from $15K - $50+. Additional info below, pics will be posted separately.

How much would it cost you to finish it before selling? You always lose a lot more on an almost-complete project than on a ready and running car.

HoBoJoe

You said the car has 39k miles, but "no miles on engine/trans/suspension" was the engine/trans rebuilt or you mean no miles since you began the build?

himself

The car has sat since the build. I added a clarification in the original thread to note that there were no miles on the car since the build. Sorry for any confusion.

I figure it will be a couple/three grand will get the car log-book ready. It's all complete mechanically and drives. (It would be fine for a DE as is) It just needs the last bit of sorting for racing.

I’d finish it and race it once - it’s sub 20 as is

Thanks everyone.

I think I'm going to finish it out. There are only a few items left and then clean-up and painting. I may try to get a few laps in as well so I have a baseline to report when I do sell it.

I wish Harvey hadn't kicked me in the teeth or I would buy it.

Let me know if you want to shake it down at MSR. I can get you on track.
