The re-sale of FFRs is hurt because of the inconsistency of the end product (Some are incredible, most pretty damn good and some pretty damn poor), the 'incorrectness' issues and the simple fact that they tend to have less invested to begin with. I have about 25K in mine and I would probably ask 30-32K to start with when/if I sell it. If I'd built it with a Sideoiler, IRS and Trigos I'd ask more, just like somebody that builds an ERA or buys an SPF asks more for theirs. It simple reflects what they have in it.
As a side note I think there's simply a different market segment that buys FFRs beyond mine (the 'poor' segment
) and that's folks that don't want them traditional. They want a hot rod/race car and figure why pay for the correctness of an SPF/ERA etc, when they are going to put modern wheels, drivetrain and non-traditional paint jobs on them.
Just my take
