It is a 1934 Ford sedan:
New chassis in 2007 raced approx 10 races

In car lap timer, Memory Tach, oil temp, oil pressure
Various Spare parts , 12 chrome trap wheels, body parts, spare gear set, Longacre scale setup with drive on pads, setup tools, castor/camber gauge. wheel base gauge, bumpsteer gauge, tire temp gauge, tire gauge, all these are Longacre.
Has a decent Leaf racing suit, gloves and shoes.
Thanks.

I would possibly be interested in the drive up scale ramps
If interested in selling email me at (hyerflyer2@yahoo.com)

Just my opinion, based on it sitting for a few years...$7000 car only, $8000-8500 with all spare parts. Again, just my best judgement based on many Legends cars I've seen for sale over the last few years.
-
I think thats high Mark.
Sitting for 5 years, who knows the condition.
Engine could be illegal, as it was built before they were all brought in-house.
For sale vs sold is a big difference, theres been alot of stuff for sale for a long time, but the market has decreased quite a bit in the last couple years, as with all non-essential purchases.
I'd say $5k, $6500 w/ all spares/scales.
I'll put my new engine in my car and completely re-do the body if they start selling for $7000 again
-
Well if I was to purchase what it came with, full retail is approx 5 grand in extras plus parts
-
I also forgot to mention it has a double sheer rear end which is new
-
Do you think 9000 is a fair deal?
-
Do you think 9000 is a fair deal?
I would make a lot lower offer. Worst they can say is no.
The suit, gloves and shoes are not of much use unless they fit you.
Consider what upgrades you will need to make also.

Oh hell no, $9000.00, The car has sat for atleast 5 years. I would be cautious of the motor for sure, sits for 5 years, cranks it to 10,o000 rpm and ----- who knows. The brake system is probably junk, the belts are junk, it need roll bar padding, fuel line, etc. Does he have a vin and title in hand? I agree depending on the condition of the car $6000.oo- $7000.00 TOTAL! Alot of depends on these parts, drive on scale system, what type? Are the gears spooled or welded? Full retail may have BEEN 5K, this stuff has sat for 5 years.
-
The car is in good shape, the scale system is a longacre. The gears are welded.
-
Are you looking for advice, or trying to justify a price you already paid?
You have gotten alot of responses here, and they are all saying pretty much the same thing. If you already bought it, congratulations, and enjoy your new car, nothing you can do to change it, so have fun and race it.
If you haven't, I personally don't think its worth nearly the price listed, but hey, if prices start trending upward, we would all be happy.
-
I agree jim, if you bought it everything will be fine. If you need help with the ca let me know, I would be happy to help you sort it out!
-
Thanks Dennis
-
Yes I did purchase the car
-
Congratulations, welcome to Legends.
Where are you going to race?
-
Congratulations Chris!

Chris lives in Canada and, according to his messages, will be racing at Montana Raceway Park just north of Kalispell, Montana.

Best Of Luck in 2013!

If you could get a good car for $9,000 thats a steal. I know someone who just sold all three of their cars, best of the best. They got $18,000 each for two cars and $15,000 for the other car. After you build a car from the ground up you realize how much you have into a good car. We have three cars and if I were to ever sell them I would be between the $12,000 and $15,000 area depending on how many races on engines.
If you take care of your car and put the time a lot of time into take a second to think about it, you can buy a brand new car from USLC for around $15,000-16,000? After you buy that car you probably put another $5-6,000 into it with putting better parts on the car. I understand times are tough but there is nothing cheap about Legends Cars anymore.

Those cars brought that money was based on who drove them, National championship cars, yes they were quality cars. As a dealer I have to watch what sells and what it is bringing and why. I agree a TOP quality over the edge car will cost $22K to HAVE built. I sold a car that beat that championship car and ran door to door at e few events with him for 10K. Todd this statement is not directed to you, its a statement for those that do not know this--- Typically when a car leaves a set up shops team, the team owner has a signed contract that allows him to REMOVE any specialty components INCLUDING the set-up. I am talking about house cars, not cars that a racer brings to be set up and takes home, I am talking cars that are stabled and maintained by a shop. I have had several cars brought to me that were purchased from teams as HOUSE CARS, the set up was changed, lead was removed, along with some other things. Selling a used Legend car for 12K to 15K is not easy in TODAYS MARKET and is not typical. Four years ago teams were building 22K cars right and left, today they are doing one here and there, so resale is off.
-
I just think people are selling cars to cheap. But then again it depends on the parts you have in the cars as well, a car with Napa brake parts compared to a car with complete Brake Man parts of equivalent racing brakes.A car with a stock steering column compared to a car with an RPM ProComp Column with a Sweet Mfg disconnect.
I know someone who just purchased a brand new car from 860MotorSports for $25k which has labor involved but that's why Legends cars are different now. In order to compete up front at a national level the price is a lot more. All I am saying if you were to add up everything from the ground up, $9,000 for a good car is a steal.
Big Teams/House Cars vs. Self is a big argument of late. Many people that race around us always make comments and such because we choose to be involved with a big team. By no means does this make us superior in any way but its something I choose to do.
-
I agree Todd. I have been fortunate to have made alot of friends and have helped alot the big teams with parts sales and it has helped me to compete with these teams. The advantage the teams have is they run multiple cars 40 races a year plus. They can ginny pig daily, lol.
