Ok, I think you're using the word Clone incorrectly. Your car should be advertised as "GNX inspired modifications".

If it were truely a "GNX Clone" it would have every modification made to exact ASC specification. That means a real GNX gauge package, not the "GNX Gauge Kit". That means a GNX number plate. That means a GNX black plate. That means a GNX turbo cover, turbo, and intercooler (or a TTA intercooler with a GNX plate).

It kinda bugs me when people advertise their car, not just GNX's, as a clone when they don't actually do everything that makes whatever they're "cloning" what it was that made that car special. It's like seeing a GS advertised as a GSX clone when all they did was put stripes on the car. Or when someone takes a '69 Lemans, puts Judge graphics on it, and calls it a Judge Clone.

However, when I do see a car that they actually took the time and expense to make a real clone, it really impresses me and justify's what ever mark up the selling price should include.

LONG STORY SHORT: IMO your car should only be valued as what the market value for a 35,000 mile 87 Buick WE-4 is. Everything that you've done that is "GNX" pretty much doesn't do anything to the value of the car, it may even lower the value.

Who Needs 8

Who Needs 8,like I said I didn't list everything. It has the dash plate turbocover an even the rear seat brace. No Intercooler though its got a front mount. The car run 12:00's at the track an I really didn't wont to cut up a real car. There was a real one at the track back in the day an you could really tell. It was cut all up! Rear was changed interior was removed intercooler was replaced.Oh yeh I forgot talking about that car,exhaust was removed. Somehow it ended up on my car as did some of the other parts removed.:biggrin: Mike
