The slideshow worked for me as well. It looks like he was down to the final few stages of construction, so thats a plus. It doesn't appear he was missing any 'company specific pieces' which is a BIG plus. Fia wheels, sidepipes, gauges, interior, paint, suspension; all look fairly complete. My guesstimate depends on the widow. If she needs to clear the car out for personal/financial reasons (can't stand to look at it or short $), than i'd say try to get the guy down the street into the high teens/low20's and that would be fair to both. If he won't budge, advertise it for sale 'as is' in the sites (with pics!) for say, $25k 'negotiable' and hope to get $20. A third option--and you'd have to check legalities--is to donate it to a charity and take a tax write off for every receipt she can find (if her hubby was like most CC builders, the beer tab would have been 15k on a build! ). That would probably be the fastest and cleanest out. The charity could find a way to finish it, sell it in a raffle/auction and do some good works along the way....
