I think you're about $1200-$1500 too expensive on your asking price given the condition of your vehicle and the amount of work that it will take to bring it back. This is assuming the paint is beat and it needs a lot of maintenance before the swap even happens. It was a pain trying to sell my salvage vert even though it was damn near perfect.

Regardless, I hope you just keep this car and build it up like originally intended. You will love it.

Yeah, the parts have been in storage for a while now, but taking them all out recently has brought some of the buzz back...

I'll keep your offer in mind, but I'd like to get a little more than that.
