thats the car that was for sale in vegas last year, ive seen it in person...its pretty rough and he advertised it as a real daytona nascar. he wanted 5k for it and i believe he got it, buyer got screwed because it was an over the phone sale

    If I was 15 years younger I would take it on just to do it but not now..

I think it's worth the starting price.

[farm966]

It is worth at least twice that!

[RallyeMike]

Looks like a disaster.

I remember this car form the last time it was for sale in the $5,000 range IIRC. Weren't there some legit, vintage NASCAR/USAC parts on the car?

If it was an original Nichels car with all of the nascar parts on it, including the front suspension and floater axle, it would be worth 10K, even without any known history.   
The original parts add up to that.

If it has a fully documented history, the sky is the limit.

  Does that K frame look like the real deal ??

[cbrestorations]

ill go ahead and squash any belief in this being, once was or ever has been a nascar. ive seen it in person before this seller had it. its crudely built short track car built back in the late 80's or early 90. was never a finished car. the nose is handmade and crude, a good 20 footer but not even close to original. everything is welded together. the nose to the fenders to the doors and to the quarter panels. even the trunk lid is welded down.

At best this looks like it started out as a home-made Saturday night short track special.  I don't see anything Nichols about it.  Especially the hobby stock style crush bar going across the dash.

Wait....I thought every wing car was either built by Petty, Nichols, Allison, Owens...or someone attached to legendary Nascar history....everytime one turns up someone claims that in their history.

Not being able to see it in person, the K member looks like a Nichels piece. 
Does it have an original full floater axle?  If so, those 2 pieces are 5K in value.

My impression of the K frame is that it is home built.  Probably using "Cotton Owens builds a Daytona" press photos.

Looking at the hub covers, the floater appears to be a quasi modern piece.

    They probably started as a replica and gave up on it for some reason.
