Ghost skulls, in shiny black over the flat...  Yes.

A blow through turbocharger. Huh, very B17-ish.

Judging by my 02 (99.9% stock ‘72 tii) most people would think I’m a bit of a purist.  Maybe I am.

 

But this car is pretty cool.  I like it, overall.  

 

I do think the price depends on a few key things:

>What does the car look like underneath?  Is it pretty clean, or not so much?

>Have you done anything to the driveline to cope with the extra power?  

>Interior condition

>Quality of the work, which is hard to judge by internet pics.

 

So pics of that stuff and more info would be helpful.

Would love to see the turbo manifold and hear how you went about the modifications for a blow through carb, interior etc, pretty cool to me!

I'm generally a lurker...but keep coming back for more pictures/info on this build.

Nice job !

I always try to encourage other 02 owners.

What I like is this gentleman's honesty and candor. 

 

Humble and kind always works for me.

Nice start and good luck on your sale.

 

"I completed this work in the early stages of my fabrication skills to current. So some things could be gone back over again. You wont see any high end parts on it.  I used what I had access to and and handmade everything else."

Sell it to someone that deals in cars used in movies dude. Otherwise put it up for sale somewhere and put up an asking price, go from there.

Call me old fashioned but I prefer unmolested classic cars. But this is a nice build with some interesting features. It's sure to gather a crowd at any showing. The problem with assessing its worth its the very thing that draws the crowd.. its uniqueness.

 

To those like me, it's not worth much; ditto for someone looking for a project to restore. For someone who likes restomods, it has to offer the buyer the same vision of what they wanted but couldn't build themselves due to lack of time and/or skills to do it themselves. After all, the pride and bragging rights are much less if you admit the build wasn't by your own hands.

 

I think $50k on the high end is a push and the OP should take that and run if offered anything close to that much. We've seen offerings on BaT for high-end restorations that aren't nearly as modified, costing the sellers well north of six figures, netting bids at 50% of their sellers "investments." So it will take a special buyer who wants what's been done and doesn't mind giving credit to the OP. For that reason, many restomods  never realize the total time and money spent to build them. GLWTS if you choose to sell her.
