Everybody is correct!! I should have not stated that the Kit would be worth less. But on the other hand it's true! Many of you have the skill to complete a quaility build no doubt. When I had my car inspected by the state license board the inspector really appreciated the quility of my car. He went on to mention that 3 out of 5 cars pass the first time. He explained that many kit builders cut corners to complete the build and it is scary to see how they put thing together.Sure it is economical to complete the build yourself..But your time is also money when you decide to sell.Wright? If you look at the market on ebay the cars are priced around the same amount. The higher dollar cars are the ERA's And SPF Ect. RCR Is tipping the scale on sales due to price. I have not seen a RCR up close. But from the pictures and from owners staments, the quility of the welds/fiberglass ect..ect..is good. On the other hand, I also see numerous questions regarding receiving the car imcomplete to what is promised and Questions Questions Questions ..how too how too how too....This would not be a enjoyable build. Era,SPF are complete and well sorted kits. Yes they are a higher price but you have everything with little sorting. You cant honestly state that a RCR complete
would be worth more than a ERA or SPF. Why? all quaility craftmanship.What is the Difference? The difference is Reputation!!! ERA SPF Are Well established. RCR does not have 1 GT40 on the streets. dlamp! im sure you are well experience to complete a build. And I totally agree that it is therepy. As long as it does not turn into frustration. Of course frustration will happen normally when completing a build. But your frustration should be with the car...not he company the supplied the incomplete kit. Basically what i'm trying to say is that if you have the time to complete a quility build it will be benificial to do it yourself. You will get the benefits on resale...MAYBE! but you can hardly ask the same money for RCR compaired to a ERA with the same quilty of engine transaxle ECT..ECt...It just won't happen. Recently a Deluxe RCR kit was on ebay. The bidding did not even come close to what the gentleman paid for it in the first place. This basically will set the trend for completed cars by RCR.
So the botom line is you get what you pay for. Look! my car was a factory complete turnkey. The company is now bankrupt. New owners have taken over the company. Is my car worth the same as when I bought it? I think not. But the one advantage, It is the only complete turnkey produced by this company in the USA. I would think it would be worth more then the kits that were completed by there owners.. But who knows!!! I probably will never find out. I plan on keeping it till I die. Now that I have this car, I really have no other dream cars.
