Gauging Interest: Car for Sale

Been gone for a while, and am now in a different country, but I am gauging interest on something. We might be thinking about selling the Camaro. The problem is that it is up in the States and we are down here (of course so is the Jetta and GTO, but I will never sell either because the Jetta was my first car and the GTO is well...the GTO). This is one hell of a muscle car/racer so let me know if there is any interest. For those who don't know about the car:
  1. 1992 Chevy Camaro RS
  2. Engine swap from 5.0L to 5.9L (5.7L bored .060"over) with ~10,000miles on the new engine
  3. Rear-end swap from 2.73 drums to 3.45 posi discs
  4. Lowered with sport springs and Bilstein shocks on all four corners
  5. Four-spd auto with B&M ripshift (great for manual shifting)
  6. Rear seats deleted (useless anyways)
  7. Front seats replaced with Recaros and four point harnesses
  8. Hood replaced with as-yet-unpainted Jongbloed hood (wide cowl hood)
  9. Engine/Intake/Exhaust/Bracing/Brake modifications out the wazoo (have list of all modifications if interested)
If anybody wishes to buy it (if we sell it) we will also sell the set of four racing rubbers with it. Like I had said this is one hell of a straight line car, but is a phenominal car in auto-x or cornering in general. The best 1/4-mile time recorded was a 15.298 @ 90.01 mph at Bandimere with a 90* day. The best cornering (measured with my G-Tech) was a 1.07g on street tires. I cannot stress enough that this is a great race car (also a good daily driver).

Unfortunately reality has started to set in down here and the thought has crossed our minds again to sell it. I refused to sell it while we were in the States, but now my mind is focused on doing things down here. I will say that I know we will not get nearly the money we put into it (probably over $20,000, with over $10,000 in the engine alone). I also know that the KBB and NADA prices are for a stock car, which the only things left stock are the transmission and wheels. Anyway, if I get any interest I will post later some more details and price ideas. I wanted to see if I could get some interest here first before I try and list it on the SCCA classified section, or on Craigslist. All inquiries can either PM me or send an e-mail to ballarni@yahoo.com.au.

Oh and on a side note, this is one of the toughest things for me right now because it is what got me started on cars. If we do end up selling it, I vow to one day have another though.
