The engineering and originality on this is so far beyond the hot rod norm that it deserves to make big money.

Unfortunately, you have some pretty muddy waters there. Various titles, listings as a 2018 hand built and all. Most states will require all of the safety and emissions equipment based on the 2018 model year and an assembled vehicle at that. BAT looks long and hard at this sort of documentation of lack of it as their reputation is ALWAYS on the line and is pretty much all that they have that separates them from the lesser auction houses.
Good luck if you pursue BAT, we had to double dot every I and cross every T before were were accepted.
Took some pretty pictures
Those are pretty pictures!
In reply to TurboFource :
Pictures look great!
I assume they are for the "for sale" ad?
I'd really love to buy this from you, it's an amazing creation, but I know it's out of my budget.
In reply to Indy - Guy :
You and everyone else will have a chance to bid. That one auction site just accepted my listing!
In reply to maschinenbau :
from what I can tell, the best way to sell items on there is to get real combative with anyone that asks questions about your car. also if you can label it as a porsche in any way it should go for triple its actual value.
Best of luck with the sale!
In reply to maschinenbau :
That's great news 
I hope you get ALL the 💰 money 💰
In reply to gixxeropa :
I mean, it does have E46 M3 parts... 
In case you feel like creating a hobby of government administration, I remembered that the title on my Willys (finally drove it once!) is "conditional," but it's a legit title with a piece of paper and everything. I think the "conditional" just applies to the fact that nobody knows what the hell it is anymore, and the VIN (wrong number of digits, because 1956) just isn't in a system. Nevertheless, my thing came from Iowa with a legit title, and a Woodstock cop reviewed/approved my VIN on the firewall tag (viewed through a cell phone camera picture for greater readability), so I got the paper . . .
I predict that the bidding goes to a gazillion dollars and the resulting demand causes you to become a career hot rod builder.
Make sure you post a link!
Thoughts after reading page 1 and then here.....prolly unpopular opinion but.....
I'm just sad the lexus didn't get a turbo kit and pistons and a nice 600whp street build. I feel that was the real GRM build that never happened. A manual SC is like......not a doner car to be thrown away. That's a legit killer build and desireble car :(
In reply to HaveBlue83 :
If it makes you feel any better, that Lexus was parted out to the fullest extent possible, giving several other SC300's new life. I even sawzall'd the front core support to sell to someone repairing a wrecked one.
Such a stunning car! It will be very interesting to follow along on the auction! :)

Think of it like this, a manual sc300 died and that reduced the number existing by one.
But, a manual sc300 powered Model A hot rod was CREATED out of imagination and hard work and I would posit the sum of its parts is much more exciting thing. Pretty damn grassroots to me.
My $0.02.
Going live tomorrow!
Will you share a link or should we just keep an eye out? Either way, It'll be exciting to watch
In reply to maschinenbau :
Hell yeah hope you get all the moneys dude
And we're live!
In reply to maschinenbau :
One gazillion dollars.
Good luck with the auction!
Do you have a number in mind on this one? I could see this one going pretty crazy honestly... I'm gonna say Low 20's. Good luck, this is still one of my all-time favorites, considering where it started...
I probably won't win but at least I get to say I bid.
It's been a lot of fun to watch this build and I look forward to your next one. Good luck with the auction!!
