    For Sale - MKIII Base Kit - SOLD

    Everyone,

    In 2006, while running my powder coating shop, I purchased both this Roadster and a Gen 2 Coupe kit with the intention of using them to showcase the shop’s work. However, since I was already in the middle of another Roadster build when this kit arrived, it went straight into storage. After closing the shop at the end of 2008, the kit remained in storage and has been there ever since. I've now accepted that I won’t have the time to build it, and with the storage property up for sale(It's in Iowa/I'm in Illinois) and nowhere to move it, it's time to let it go.

    Here’s the breakdown of the configuration from when I originally ordered…

    Roadster Kit $12,990.00
    Powder Coated Chassis $229.00
    Body Cutouts. $120.00
    Chrome Roll Bar $290.00
    3-Link Deluxe Package $1,000.00
    4into4 Side Exhaust $0.00
    302 Header Assembly $475.00
    Manual Steering Rack & Shift Kit $269.00
    Autometer Vintage Gauge Set $450.00
    Cut Dash Board $0.00
    Black Vinyl Seats $0.00
    Radiator and Filler Kit $245.00
    Aluminum Overflow Tank Kit $90.00
    Mark III Hood Hinge $250.00
    Carbureted Wiring Harness $299.00
    87-93 Engine Wiring Harness $450.00
    Tubular Lower Front Control Arms $480.00
    Kit Total $17,637.00
    Discount for Lower Control Arms. -$550.00
    Total 2006 Value $17,087.00

    It is important to note that the lower control arms were used on the Daytona and are no longer available, so I have discounted today's replacement cost from the overall kit value. There is also a gas tank from an 89’ Mustang that has been treated inside and powder coated black that will be included with the kit.

    As you can see the kit in 2006 was valued at $17k. To order this kit today with similar options will run you around $19K, I am looking to get $10K OBO so feel free to make one.

    Please PM me if you are interested and I will answer any/all questions to the best of my ability.

    That's a great buy. If I lived closer I would hop on it - plus I'd get divorced or shot. Something about the 5 cars I currently own.

    Man, I'd like to buy this too and hold onto until my Coupe is done. But then I couldn't afford the engine for the Coupe, so alas....

    Sorry everyone, I have been busy with quite a few things and completely forgot to update this thread. The car has been sold.

    Sorry for the inconvenience. I also have a Coupe that I will be putting up for sale in the coming days. You can view that one here if interested.
