It's a hard one isn't it, at the end of the day it's worth what someone will pay but I figure you should be able to get what it's worth in parts so by the time you have the conversion kit, engine, gearbox and car purchased its about 15k so you should get at least that. Most Vls on car sales are over 10 so 15 isn't unreasonable

Well I sold my vl calais 355 stroker for 11k... So 15k sounds reasonable to me...
To somebody who is smart and can see the money that has been poured into the car, they will buy it.

10-02-13, 01:24 GMT+10#28 Very true... You really just need the right buyer who knows the value of things...
When I sold my first original 5.0 VL Calais, I had idiots laugh at me for the price of 7k and telling me to accept offers of 4k.
The right person eventually bought it for $6700.... Just gotta ignore the tossers and wait

The lack of an engneers report will put people off though so that's something to consider .
