2-pack respray
pink slip,
reco engine,
extractors,
new brakes (drums machined, new master cylinder, brake cylinders)
new tie rod ends

its funny how a long A15 will get $500 but my complete machine won't attract any more than $2000.

any advice appreciated...

(btw i'd prob be happy with $3000)

The trouble with trying to get big dollars for a true classic car like the KB10 is that the potential buyers are quite savvy and know what they are looking at.I mean no disrespect but members on this site where aware this car was on ebay 5 minutes after it went on the first time and going by your photos there are things incorrect and or missing on the car which will cause the collector to reconsider what price they may offer eg.front panel and indicators are from a B10 sedan not KB10 which sugests a heavy punch in the nose at some stage,missing the grille badge (these cost a fortune)also not sure about the seats although they have covers they look like sedan or wagon but will stand corrected.Boot boards and linings are missing,again big bucks.All this is just my quick observation and as previously stated i'm not trying to bag your little car or put you down,but you asked for advice,and this is arguably the best place to get it.Now i did not place a bid on this car but i believe what you where offered was about right for what you have,or keep it a bit longer and get it back to 100% genuine if you can find the right bits and have another crack then.
Cheers Bert

I would agree with bert.

Things that pop up the first time with some strange inconsistencies (particulary with the classics) tend to make the genuinely interested very weary.

Advertising your classic for sale must be done with great care and attention.

I would have thought $2225 was a fair price to attach to this little one.

Thanks for the feedback, Bert.

The front panel was on the car when purcharsed so i'll take your word for it. The seats are in good condition (should have taken the covers off!!). Boot boards and panels are detached and come with the car (had intended to use them to form a fibreglass moulding to provide strength).

I'd like to keep the car and improve it but unfortunately moving costs mean a sale is fairly necessary. I'm at the stage of selling ASAP and will take pretty much anything. The 2250 figure would have been acceptable but the buyer pulled out and the 2nd place price didn't respond to my emails.

At this stage i'd happily take $2k.

Thanks again.

the car has exhaust manifolds but there are no spares, sorry.

Its a pity that I like lost of others just dont have the cash for another project. I have always wanted a coupe (its the only model that I havent owned!), but Daisy is very demanding of my time and money, so he has to come first.

Good luck with the sale.
