Default Throwing in the Towel Whats it worth?

Moderators, I plan on moving this to the For sale section, just trying to figure out price first. Thanks

1968 Firebird "Sprint"
New floors, new Quarters (Stretched for bigger Tires) oem fenders with patch panels
New paint, 2 Hoods snorkel and Cowl hood, Cowl hood needs to be painted)
New Trim around quarters installed, new front windshield
New radiator support, with power coated front bumper supports, and hood latch
Paint has only seen light for a few hours, it sits inside with cover over car
There are a couple of fine scratches that should buff out with no problem
Tubbed To fit 10.5W 31" Tire
Welded in Drive shaft loop
Frame coated in POR15 and undercarriage painted

Strange Fab 9" Rear end with Strange center section 4.10 gears, spool and 31 spline axles
Competition Engineering 4 link rear with Coil over shocks (QA1s)
Ladder bar mounts on rear

12 point Cage, with Fuel cell and battery mount in trunk
Removable parachute mounts thru fuel door

Ed Quay Rear spoiler (Stainless Steel)

Front Cross member notched for oil pan removal
Auto Fab Tubular Front Control arms (Powder coated) with coil over shocks
Rack and Pinion Steering (Flaming River)
Wilwood brakes all the way around with line lock and proportioning valve
Mid plate installed

I have negotiable items as well....

Interior
69' Firebird high back buckets just refurbished
New dash, door panels, headliner, carpet, door latches, mirrors......

Drive line
455 Built by Gaydosh, SRP pistons, Eagle rods, wideports and Victor and roller cam
Vacuum pump, Meziere water pump, new MSD distributor, Crank mandrel, Crank trigger
Brand new Ceramic coated headers Hooker super comps
Powermaster Alternator

Doug Miller built Turbo 400 transmission, choice of convertor (2 different ones)
We pulled 3 or 4 transmission apart to get the "good parts"

Wheels are Weld Racing Drag Magnums
Front runners are new, but have been sitting probably need replaced, same with slicks


Most of these parts are new or in perfect condition.
It needs to be finished, motor is on a stand, interior is in my basement.

Would consider separating it all, but it would be a killer deal for someone who has
the funds and time to finish it.
I have back problems, that i cannot resolve. I just don't have the drive anymore.....

I have well over 30k invested, I just don't know what a fair price for this would be, need your input please!

Nice project. I would be interested in the vac pump, water pump and crank trigger if you decide to start seperating it.

Thanks everyone for the comments, and suggestions.
I think back will get better one day, they just need to do the proper treatment.
I'll still have my supercharged 99' Transam

Have seen Kevin's car, it's a nice piece. Everything Kevin has is very nice.
Sorry you can't get the time to finish it between family, health and career.
Good luck with sell. Let me know if you need help with anything.

Lugnutt... 8 years ago and 7+ back fractures from my multiple myeloma then, I often thought about throwin in the towel... it was hard to not be able to do anything I wanted... I'm glad I hung on to my engine stuff and other odds and ends... its been a slow process... but I can do things I never thought Id do again...maybe not as quick but I cant worry about that part of it...
I'm buildin a 90 bird... son got married a few months back one of my daughters last month and wife only part time work lately. Budget slowed me to a crawl and the cancer came out of remission in June... I needed a cane for most of summer but getting cancer back under control and no longer need the damn cane...(this time was losing bone right where I sit on left side...tumor formed 1/8" from leg joint just above cartilidge, radiation killed the tumor, the hole is fillin with bone cell I'm headin back to remission)
I havent accomplished what I'd like but I'm not about to give up n throw in the towel... It will get done at some point...
I have got quite a few small things done and that will help in the long run... I've certainly had the time to revise plans and even created a prototype for a serpentine belt setup... just need to make the final piece pretty at this point. Removed the junk aftermarket sunroof from the bird gutted the interior and patchin the roof back ... finally have the weather and comfort level to do it...
Tons I want done yesterday!!! but I know that cant happen so I do what I can as I can... Its enough incentive to get me through all the rest of what life brings me good or bad.

Think this through before you part with all you have... maybe revise your plan and keep motor or car and find an easier path if you have to...
Best of luck to you, a bad back isnt easy to deal with... but what you eventually accomplish regardless of the pain or time factor is quite rewarding in the long term...
