What is my crashed viper worth??

[m4vpr]

Hi, im hoping someone can give me a ballpark figure for my wrecked 97 b/w Viper GTS with 14000 miles.
I couldn’t see how to post pictures so ill just try and explain the damage.

The passengers side took all the damage from branches hitting it, so here is a list of what is badly damaged.....
HOOD
front facia
PASSANGERS DOOR
ROOF (BADLY CRACKED)
SILL
PASSANGERS SIDE EXHAUST/CAT
BOOT LID GLASS IS SMASHED
WHEELS ARE MARKED.

The engine is very strong and has Jesel roller rockers, T+D rods installed. there are no fluids leaking from the car anywhere.

I know it is hard to say without seeing it but your thoughts would be much appreciated.
Also if anyone thinks they would be interested in it I could email you pictures.

Thanks

Sounds like a project for Nad!!

Or to convert bling to a gen II????

Got no room to store anymore cars otherwise might have been interested. Was thinking of dropping my Capri 3.0L engine into Bling just to get it out of the garage - it's so covered up with boxes, tools and other rubbish you wouldn't even recognise it as a car.

M4VPR - Try John Hazzard at Hazzards in Hemel.
He had one of the few RHD GTS Vipers last year and it had been burnt to a cinder inside and he re-built it all and as far as I know did quite well out of it.
His number is 01442 233 208 and if he can't help I'm sure he can give you some pinters.

all them parts are very expensive to replace with new OE parts it would cost a lot more than just buying a great condition later model GTS.

Even used parts would be a killer, it would have to be Colins moulds route to even think about starting to repairing it

if those are the 'badly damaged' parts theres no doubt still more parts needed I guess, probably chassis damage they bend quite easily. If you was in the US it would be better to strip it down and sell the good parts individually but over here there isnt much of a market to sell them to

Thank you for all your thoughts guys, and thank you for the contact Gregor.

I realize all these parts are very expensive which is why I have no intention of fixing it myself, but just thought there was maybe someone who might look at it as a fun project to turn into a kit car or just use as parts.

Keep your thoughts coming please
