1/4 Scale Dragster

[jobenz]

Morning Everyone, i need some information on the value of a 1/4 scale dragster. My uncle who has passed away left me his 1/4 scale dragster project. I was told by my local hobby shop that it is was probally made by Pacesetter. I do not have the time to finish getting it operational and being from Connecticut have no room to actually run it. I would like to sell it but i do not knoq where to start. Just saw a beautiful Pacesetter on Ebay for $4500..............Anyone having any knowledge about what i should be asking for it would be greatly appreciated. My cell is 203-215-1564.
Thanks, joe

The one that's on ebay belongs to nycdragracer and is a member here, that dragster on ebay is not an ordinary pacesetter dragster in fact I don't understand why it's even called a pacesetter? I think this is the one that was totally custom built by Bob.S, either way it has tons of custom made and modified parts so you really can't put yours and this one in the same league price wise. But then again there's an a ss for every seat.

Emilio, the reason it's called a Pacesetter is because the chassis in raw form is exactly that.
Also just to clarify Bob bought out most of the Pacesetter new old stock from Mike K over the years.
I do believe only thing actually different is my chassis was made as a 2 piece frame.

Jobenz I think your best way of determining what you have is to post the pictures on here, most of the guys on here are very knowledgeable in the hobby, but also remember your swimming in shark infested waters, so think twice before you jump on the first offer.
Good Luck.

I would like to apologist to my Uncle Billy for hijacking the thread.
Ciao
