Coupes already built

[James Morse]

If this isn't the right forum please move it.

Now I got the money for Coupe kit, engine, etc but no time or space since current project is dragging on a lot longer than I thought. Just for s/g I was looking at ones already built. I would expect them to be in the 60k range or up depending who built and so on. Here's my question. I see some in the range 20k or less even like 12k. This confuses me. That's a fraction of what the kit/parts would cost before putting it together, so something seems odd. The only thing I can think of is, it's click-bait (I never followed up on any), or, something really wrong with the build, or, if they are titled -not- as a 1965 then they could fall under inspection rules for later cars meaning they need bumpers and emissions and so on so you wouldn't be able to register it. Or the people got in a money bind and are just looking to recoup something. Anyway it didn't make any sense to me so if anyone can shed and light on this I'd appreciate it. You can see some here https://cars.trovit.com/used-cars/fa...-daytona-coupe
Thanks.

I am sure all those ads are scams. Bring a trailer gets some Coupes sometimes. That site will give you some idea of what a used one sells for. Lots of variables though. Have you considered having one built for you the way you want it? Myself and other builders would gladly walk you through the process to see if its right for you.

I can't explain the link you provided. Suspect some are scams as Mike suggested. A decent Factory Five Gen 1 or Gen 2 build is going to be $50 - 60K and up. A Gen 3 (a complete redesign with significant improvements) will be even more. Often hitting six figures. Especially if a high end build, well equipped, IRS, etc. There are deals to be had. But I'd be wary of listings less than these general ranges. There aren't nearly as many Coupes out there as Roadsters and generally they bring good money. I pay attention because I have one. We love it. Not for sale at any price.
