Me, probably not, the sale is directed at people who do their own work though. Not someone who is going to pay a shop to put a new motor in.

I fully understand what you are saying, but the amount of money to create this car is way higher than what I am asking. I could see some person asking 30k with a blown motor on this car because they invested so much. Obviously they would never sell the damn thing, but even 30k would be a loss.

If i don't get any bites soon, I will have DB put a stock motor back in and the part out will ensue.

It will take longer but I will be able to drive the car for the time being while I am trying to sell at least and then when I sell everything I will be better off than what I would've been selling it for what I am asking now.

Yes, maybe they could think that I beat on the car, but in reality i don't think i did, not the drivetrain anyway, just stressing the engine from so much power. I only launched the car once since I owned it, lol.

We will see how everything unfolds though. Don't assume I am selling yet.
