I'd say pricing would be similar to a DOH, maybe $5K more than if just stock. So in this market, $22K-$25K. It's pretty unique since it's the only DMCL clone I have heard about, so that would be my stab at it.  

But we have all been there, sounds more like you need a weekend or two away from the car and a new game plan for any issues that your having with it. You should reconsider and probably not sell.

Its a nice car! have you had it appraised? that would be a good starting point. As for WIW i would say around mid twenties.

Wait until Peter passes and it'll go up!  Also, that movie is known to us old guys, but I bet there is a large portion of the population that has not seen it.  Wait until its popular again.

Not that it matters a lot but what is the car the source of the aggravation? 

[Khyron]

i've just been fighting a ignition issue, I put on a new 850 and just couldn't get it to run right, fouled out about 2 sets of plugs, went back to the 750, distributer proke, had to buy a new one, was bad out the box, had to rebuild it with ifferent wieghts and springs and reset the curve again, can't get it dialed in, now the car surges like it's not getting enough fuel because i can't get the timign right....

and thats just the last couple of days.

Missed 3 local shows...

[Khyron]

ohh and can't get ahol dof the guy that degreed my cam and never got the numbers from him .... so the timing is all ovver the place... ohh and now the carb is whistling at me....

I've about had it.... ohhhh and because it's a dodge, i can't get so much as a set of Fing valve cover gaskets from a local store without waiting 3 days.

Whoaaaa, Eeeeasy big fella .  Maybe take a little break from the car.  I was in the same situation a few years ago with a 67 GTO.  Couldn't get a few details on it sorted out, lost patience, then lost a good car.    I've regretted it ever since and won't let it happen again.  Take a break for a week, month, however long it takes and regroup your thoughts.  Form a plan but most importantly, don't sell it unless that's what you truly want to do.  But I don't think it is.

Good luck!

Cheers

yeah shut the garage door and take a break from it we have all been there i know i have mine is wiring gremlins and having never owned six pack set up before getting that all dialed in was a pain for me, admittedly im more a metal shaper and welder than a mechanic though.

Ya, go play with that rat rod 50's chevy you have and come back to the DMCL some other time.   

[Khyron]

im still mad at it...... *grumble*
