Default What is my rolling shell worth?

Tossing around the idea of pulling my drivetrain and putting it in another platform (GS/IS/MKIV/who knows lol) and was wondering what my rolling shell would be worth it would be:

Shell and parts that will stay:
92 SC300 Original 5 spd pearl white shell 185K
T's Project Kit.
Origin Rear Lip and Vertex Hood Spoiler.
3" Custom Mandrel Bent Exhaust with Apexi WS2 Mufflers.
Vertex Side Markers
JDM Window visors.
Clear Headlights/High Beams and OEM Fogs.
Hoebag custom tails.
Black/Tan interior.
In tank walbro, stock lines are still in place but I have -8 feed and -6 return on it now.

May part the following:
Auto TT OEM Radiator (may keep)
D2 Coilovers (may keep if new platform is a MKIV)
LS/Supra TT Calipers/Rotors (may keep if new platform is a MKIV)
18x10 front and 18x12 rear Forgestar F14's with 255/40 and 315/30 rears (may keep depending on for new platform)
Snap Performance 1 pc driveshaft for 6spd SC's with 6spd rear end.

Title is clean, I have an extra dash painted black to install along with various other black interior pieces. It will need the following to run:
Engine, Harness, Trans, Brakes, Rear End, DS (if not using 6spd trans and 6spd diff). It would be perfect car for a swap.

Just looking to get some feedback in case I pull trigger and don't want to over or under price myself.

I've thought about doing this too. Good luck with your decision.

i'd say that shell would be worth 4k realistically without wheels but with the coilovers and brakes and + full price for wheels if they wanted them

I'm gonna guess maybe 4k? If someone were to buy that, and then spend another 4-5k on an engine and drivetrain they'd have a pretty awesome car. Or they could even just spend less than a grand on a stock motor and such and still have a good looking car.

If I were you i would just part everything out it's kind of hard to find some one willing to buy a shell for $4k and not be able to drive the car. Part everything you will make more money trust me I bet scotturnot would take that t's kit in a heart beat.

Let's please keep replies to this thread on opinions of the value of Cherplex's rolling shell.

No more parts requests (several posts removed) - that turns this thread into a classified ad and gets it closed which isn't fair to Cherplex. Thanks

$4000-$5000 if they really know what you got. If they dont, they think you will be asking too much and say $1500.
