Typically, the value of the original parts should not be a bonus in the case of a race car...In this case, the same is true. The car is a race car for anyone who is going to buy it, with or without the street motor and parts. Most racers don't give a flying rats if the original motor and trans is in a box but it would be NICE to have to file away. I would say the parts are just about nothing other than a lever to close the deal closer to where you think it should be vs where the buyer says it should be. There is no such thing as a MARKET price on Sprint race cars. I would hold the original parts in my hip pocket until you have an interested party but only expose them if the party is serious. You shouldn't have that many takers initially. Once you expose your aces in the hole, you are still going to try for the asking number. They will not constitute a higher price. You state the price you say you will part with it and someone comes along and either counters or agrees. If his counter is lower than your asking price, well, you might throw in the stuff to make him more agreeable .
