Looks sharp

Custom builds are hard to price, and location has a lot to do with it, where is it?

Start high, if you don't get any calls/emails then start to drop down the price

Most people do the V8 swap because they want to do the swap, not because they want a V8 Ranger, lol, I know that sounds odd, because it is odd

Its in Michigan, got offered 12 yesterday , but wanted to check and see what the pros thought I got about 22 into it that was 15 yrs ago to.

You will never get back what you put into it, not in any way a comment on your build (amazing truck) but simply a fact. Building custom cars/trucks is not an finacial investment and will never turn a profit or even break even. You loose money.

Auction it and know your gonna pay a ton in fees even if you get more, or take that 12 grand and run. 12 grand is a pretty damn good depreciation value after 15 years...

Never was ever going to be an investment, just something I wanted to build. Time to move on to something else. I might post it here for sale.

If you were offered 12k I'd take it.ive seen alot of V8 rangers from mildly done to frame off.i never see them go more then like 8000.00 on a good day.unfortuately they demand a ton money.

Good idea for a start but keep in mind, we are hardcore ranger people. There will be more than just "ranger weirdos" interested in a truck like that. I still say, if you got offered 12, maybe highball the guy with a higher offer and feel him out. But 12 sounds like a good deal, but it's not my truck. Not my time, not my blood sweat and tears. In the end you gotta be willing to sit on it for a long time to get "your price". Or sell right away for the "buyers price".

There is a beautiful 302 ranger that's been on this site for sale for years now, buyer wont come down on price so it doesn't move. But if he doesn't need the money then he can do what he wants and let it sit for decades till he gets "his" price.

Keep going to car shows and put a for sale sign on it. You're more likely to meet custom car enthusiasts that way and can talk price with no pressure.

If my wife would just hit the damn Mega Millions...

Nice looking truck.

 

[Atommatt]

Well that's what I'll do , just put it for sale sign in it the other day, so maybe throw it on craigslist. Probably get a bunch of people kicking tires and wanting to go for a ride. 110 octanes not cheap. Thanks for the input, was going to keep it but I keep putting money into it. So I need to unload it . For the right price I thought about turning it into a pre runner and that perfect for Michigan roads, lol pot hole capital of the US.
