Where would you sell a LS swapped car?

So thinking about selling my LSx swapped 951. Obviously it's a bespokely built car and as such will have more of a limited buyers pool. I have a firm number in mind for it (which is much less than it'd cost to replicate the car of course) and won't sell it unless I get that.

Where would you list the car to get the most exposure and $$? I'm going to put it on Rennlist, Pelican, the 944 swap board. I'm thinking maybe also trying eBay and submitting it to Bring a Trailer too.

Any other good ideas?

Uh, here?

Racingjunk, yellowbullet, craigslist, ebay, local facebook pages.

Lstech? Maybe a mecum auction?

I'll post it here but I haven't found that much sells here unless the price is under $3000. I want quite a bit more than that for it. Racing junk is a good idea, what's yellowbullet?

It seems like anything listed on Craigslist ends up cross posted to the boards that would be interested or pasted to people's facebook pages of interest.

I know Craigslist gets lambasted for poor grammar and pictures, but the visibility is massive and it's easy to share.

Yellowbullet is the largest drag racing forum around. It hosts its own race in maryland every year. The yellowbullet nats. You can also find the street outlaw guys and some of the big pro mod/pro stock guys there. Stay out of trashed or be trashed unless you have thick skin and dont mind nsfw posts.

Hmm, my car is really built for road racing, not drag racing so not sure yellowbullet would be the place for it.

I'll post to the local craigslist but kinda doubt it'll sell there...

Yellowbullet has people into all forms of racing. Aside from tobt theres alot of good information about everything. The circulation alone makes it worth it.

GRM is as close as you're going to get to a group of folks that share your vision.

Did you make a build thread?

Bringatrailer.com

Roadraceautox.com

Gotcha, I'll post it to all the suggested places.

I do have a build thread on rennlist as well as 944 forums, basically showing the build from the very beginning to just recently. I've put together a FS ad that includes links to both of them as well as a video of the car on track, plus the build sheet showing all the parts on the car.

I'm waiting for the weather to get nice so I can take a nice group of pictures and I'll post the car up.

I am sure they will just love that car on rennlist

Actually it's been well received. My build thread there has 130,000 views.

Racecar.com is another.

Nothing to add other than that your thread has provided me with reading material while I wait for my garage to warm up this morning!

My only idea would be to keep it, looks like an extreme blast of a car to me!

Happy to help waste some time for you!

...and I also drive flatout!

Sorry, I just couldn't help myself. :)

If he posts it here, he'll just get a bunch of "too bad it's so far away or I'd buy it".

You need to determine the value proposition, and market to that strenght.

Quick read of your build thread leads me to this statement:

Congrats!!! This swap has become more and more popular, especially w/ the track crowd.

doc said: Because all of us already owned track prepped 944's. Mine had a bad motor, so selling it would've been a fire storm for me, plus I would've had to come up with the money for the Z06, plus the cash to track prep it.

So, congratulations, the group of people who see value in this swap are the track day crowd; a well defined subset of the human race. You need to intercept one of these up-coming Shumakers and convince them that buying your car is a shortcut in time and money down a road that they were going to take by themselves. Time savings, experience and being a sorted swap ( big deal for me) are all value propositions over doing their own thing.

When selling project cars, the obstacle to overcome is that people want it to be "Their project" based on "Their" prized car. We all hate living in "The Smith's old house" 25 years after they moved out.... Have some ideas in mind that you can present as projects for the new owner to take the car to a "next level" and hence able to present it as their own.
