After some long discussions we've decided to sell a couple vehicles and get a vehicle that will better accomodate our grandchildren, currently at 7 (as of Monday). Needless to say our life has been in a bit of turmoil. So my VX is one of the vehicles we are considering selling. So I am left pondering what to ask for the VX. As most of you have seen my build, pretty much a complete mechanical rebuild. Some highlights:

    Full engine rebuild using OEM parts where available.
    modified the pistons with additional oiling holes
    new OEM crank
    rebuilt heads
    complete new timing set
    water pump
    the works!

    Full rebuild of transmission
    New rear axle seals (serious pain to replace)
    New upper and lower ball joints
    New inner and outter cv boots
    All new brakes
    Tires were installed new when the build was finished
    Frame sanded and sealed with Master Series Coatings

    The list goes on. We've got around 10K miles since the rebuild and have enjoyed every mile. I know there is a list out there but I think I can save time and tell you what I know is bad. I have never had the door panels off and it suffers from the window ailment. I have the SBC brackets but have not installed them. The engine has an oil leak, best I can figure is the rear seal was not put in properly and leaks probably about a quart per 5K miles. I think I made Merlin salesman of the year when building this thing and I can provide the reciepts of the parts.

    So what does the group say. What would be a reasonable asking price for my XV?

    Thanks in advance.....

    The chassi had 95,600 on it when I got it it now has around 106,000. The interior is in good shape, the front seats show some wear but are in very good shape, like most the back seat looks like it was never used. The paint is in very good shape, the cladding has faded like most, the hood insert is in good shape as well just slightly faded. You can see the paint and cladding in my build thread but I will get some recent pictures to post up.
