Opinion of Value?
Posted: Mon Jan 23, 2017 6:35 am
Hey everyone new user here. I tried lurking through the for sale threads to get a decent opinion of value on a body, but didn't see anything recent that made me more sure. All my searching is mostly coming up with complete cars.
I know an opinion is just that, and it is what am I willing to pay more than what it is worth. The issue is I already have a non Manx buggy that I have wanted to build for some time. The Manx purists might kill me if I did my ideas to an actual Manx. I've been looking for a pan to build on, and found what appears from my short amount of time searching possibly a decent shape Manx?
The front tag, style of the hood and apron, and one picture shows what looks like the spare tire well make me think it could be authenticate based on my readings. Before I go look at it and try to find tags I thought I might should know what the body alone is worth. I am just hoping some of you that have them and might have heard what people have paid recently could give me a range within a few hundred bucks. Also, if you think it is a clone please point out why.
I figure if it isn't authenticate its worth around $100-200 based on what I've been offered for my other body. I know what I need to look for in the pan and what it would cost somewhere else. The motor (a 1300 cc) isn't going to be worth much to me so I would try to off load it. I guess I'm already at the cost I should just buy it.
Pictures here since I'm new and can't post pictures (I guess): https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/ ... sp=sharing
Thanks in advance,
Justin
