Rednels Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Hello all, I recently found out that I have cancer. It was quite a shock since Im only 32. The prognosis was good so I dont think its life threatening Unfortunately, I cant afford to keep my shelby and my viper, so the shelby must go. It has a whipple 3.4 with a bunch of supporting mods. Its an 08 vert thats completely loaded with 5000 miles. What should I ask for it?? I have no idea where to start with todays market...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I had it last year and took the doctors two months to tell me otherwise. That was a stressful time. Glad you are being optimistic though! Regarding your question I would think $45-50K. Where in TN are you? I live in Memphis. If you are close we should get together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imatk Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 I'm really sorry to hear that man How'd you find out? Just a regular checkup or something else? Docs thought I had a brain tumor a few years ago... turned out it wasn't but I can empathize with you... I was 34 at the time. For your car, I would say you should be able to get 40k out of it since it's got the blower, maybe more for the right buyer... but you might be better returning it to stock and parting out the go-fast goodies. Take care man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rednels Posted July 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Thanks for the replies guys. I apprecitate it. SO, do you all think its worth the trouble to return it to stock and sell the parts seperately? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jody Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 It depends if the buyer wants the car with mods. Also if you are putting the stock parts back on yourself or paying someone to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rednels Posted July 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Thanks for all the kinds words guys. I have Thyroid cancer. I have been told by 2 different doctors that if you had to choose a kind of cancel to get, this is it (sounds kinda funny) This is one of those really tough decisions....between the shelby and viper. The only reason im keeping the viper is because I track that car and the shelby just doest get it done on a road race track. My dad is thinking about buying the shelby(I hope he does becaue I will lose money on it and at least someone close to me could benifit from it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skyhighsd Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 SO, do you all think its worth the trouble to return it to stock and sell the parts seperately? As long as you keep a lot of the stock parts I would say yes. I wouldnt waste the time on small ticket items (LCA's ect..) I know from the prices I have seen on stock used cars I would make a lot more money selling all the good stuff on my own and letting the car go for less. Hell I have seen kb cars with low miles sell in the very very low 40's Good luck with everything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDY168 Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Sorry about the news. I had to have a bone marrow and a kidney transplant in 04 and 05. They gave me 34 months then, but I am still around. Keep the positive attitude up your good to go. I`ll say a prayer for you. As for the sale.... I hope your dad buys it, but anyone else, 40k minimum. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twobjshelbys Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 There isn't much I can say. There are so many thoughts you are having, so (1) please remember that we are all thinking of you and praying for the best and (2) it's just a car.

cluscher Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 A buddy of mine also had thyroid cancer and is now completely healthy and in remission. He was also told if you have to have cancer, this is the type of cancer you want to get. Best of luck to you and I hope your Dad takes the car. Get healthy soon.
