Turn key or roller?
I'm selling my Sunbird. I would like to sell everything at once. Car, enclosed trailer and mini-bike. Do you guys think the car would sell better as a roller or turn key? I know a previous of my car ran a SBC with NOS so any engine could be made to work in it. Just trying to figure out the best way to let it go.

Sorry to hear your selling. Turn-key is best to start. See what kind of response you get, and go from there. Also depends on how fast you need to sell the stuff. Are you moving up or getting out?

Bud I hope something bigger and better is in the works...
I'd price it all three ways, then everyone is happy. |

I'm getting out. Things have changed for me financially. I'd rather see someone enjoy the car then let it sit.
Holm's I'm buying a house. My divorce was final 2 weeks ago. Youngest started college. Pay check only goes so far. |

Bud, sorry to hear it. I hope to see you again some time. I always had fun hanging with you at the track.
PM me about your stuff for sale...I'll spread the word...give me some ballpark figures. Take care!

My opinion, I will not ever buy a turn key race car again. I have one in the garage needing an engine now, after 7 passes.

Sorry to hear that you're getting out, but I understand your reasons.
I hope you'll still make it to the track once in a while and maybe PITP and Norwalk. We need someone there to bust on us when we do something stupid!  As for the car, I'd offer it both ways. And I wouldn't be afraid to mention 'other' engines will fit easily to make the car more attractive to a wider audience.

Bud, are you sure this is what you want to do? If money is the issue, put your kid in the Military so she can get her edumacation that way. Shoot the ex, find you a rich, ugly, fat, woman to take care of you, move into her house and then you can keep the car, acquire even more toys (cause she is rich, fat, and ugly and no one would ever mess with her when your out enjoying yourself with all the new toys) and go race!

Rob - I've never met you(missed you at Norwalk), but I like your thought process on this. Will keep that in mind when my divorce comes around.
