Great pics, looks like fun!
Did they actually let you enter the Ultimate Street Car Challenge? I thought kit cars were specifically disallowed.
Hey Eric, I'm glad to see that you ran in the Street Car Challenge I've often wondered if they would let a SLC compete. So how did you do?
glws, I think you should bump the price abit though. Lol
Than you have not been looking closely. He priced it perfectly since he is looking to sell it. Now if he was just looking to shut his significant other up and really didn't care about selling it than yes he should ask for more $.
OK, Damian, since you're the world's expert on SLC prices, please fill in the rest of us on recent sales, with actual sale prices, of completed SLCs.
There's another SLC for sale here @ $130k. It' got an LS7 + Ricardo, but not $45k more so, IMO. We'll see what the market says.
Both are beautiful cars that anyone would be lucky to own. I was merely comparing the prices from my perspective - but they are very different specs that will appeal to different people IMO. I hope that both get their full asking prices.That car has almost $130k into it without labor.

Unfortunately, spending more on a build virtually never transfers into the sales price. The SLC does look to achieve excellent resale values for a component car, but it will never be a way to make money IMO.
For component cars, the value to different people is often be wildly different, depending upon how close the specification is to what each buyer wants. There's a lot of room for individual preference in engine, gearbox, interior etc, and buyers tend to discount the price for things that they would change or didn't really want.Roberto's car is on ebay for $175k and that doesn't represent his total labor, it's a beautiful car and worth it in my opinion.
There's often the belief that a car (or any other asset) should be worth at least what someone has put into it, but the market doesn't always agree. It's only what buyers with the money in their pockets think that counts. I'm not a buyer at the moment, so genuinely hope that these cars sell for prices that everyone is happy with.I don't expect to get my labor back, but parts and paint would not be too much too expect.
Agreed, although I've never classed the SLC anywhere near a GTM.I think if these cars start to sell for more, they would separate themselves from the GTM's etc., and they should. I think the SLC chassis, design, and look is far beyond the others.
Part of the problem is that people see the kit price and are unrealistic about what it will cost in money and time to get the car that they want. Buyers that wouldn't build one themselves may pay more. We'll see what the market decides they're worth, if the sales prices are public.I don't think we should under sell our cars.
