    I would like to get a consensus on what this thing is worth. Considering selling it because I don't think I will be putting it on my car. Opinions? Please feel free to pm if you'd like to.

    It's worth nothing. Just ship it to me and I'll refinish it and put it on my car.

    But in all seriousness, I'd say in the range of $200 would be about right. Maybe more if that weld was cleaned up and it was stripped and repainted.

    $150 due to the repair, but depends on what the market is like.

    Depending on the demand . . . and with the repair done, your looking at $150-225

    Might bring some more if you spend some time cleaning it up

    Thanks fellas. I could clean it up and "brianize" it(ayone who knows the under hood of my car knows what that is...) but the work I would put into it would probably cost more than the vc itself.

    The damage and repair welding needs to be fixed and cleaned.
    otherwise I would say value is just 50 to 75 USD

    There was a story most VC broke as the the cork seal needed bolts were tightened to strong to avoid leaking.

    I think for what I'm being offered for it I'll just keep it on a shelf for a while.

    Thanks fellas, I appreciate the input.
