I hope they get their price, but IMO that is "all the money" for a cut up car (arguments please). Personally, I would think a stock original '85 would be worth more. But that's just me I guess...

If it was raced by a really big name person, it can jack the price up considerably. But if it is a no-name racer, then it can actually lower the value.
Whether it's one or the other is a big matter of opinion.

To me, that is just a cut up '85 track car that looks nice. I would think market value would be $10-$13k, if you could find someone to spend that much on a track car.
It was a Newman/Sharp Datsun 510, that he had won a championship with. The seller had complete documentatin on the car (log books, etc.), and the price for the car was comensurate with that provenance. THAT would be a car worth paying big money for. This UrQ though, as you said, is nothing more than a used race car and one that can't even operate well on normal gas.

Lets promote our Quattros, if he sale it will be good for all of us. Just perhaps the 25 years old and older cars we have and love will go up in value.

I just made a point that the value of a used race car is VERY subjective.

Its still pretty much a street car.
And many people buy urquattros specifically for track events and DEs.

It can't do anything but good for the value of our cars.

Guess not. I've seen what I consider nicer cars go for much less. I have no problem congratulating the seller, as I believe the buyer paid "all the money" for it.
Now let's see a nice looking modified '83 go for $10K+...

And the guy that bought this car, paid way too much IMO.

It's nothing more than a race car with the interior thrown back in. The car still has the cage, the track suspension, and can't run on anything below 100 octane gas. That's a track car! Unless the new owner wants to "detune" the thing to run on pump gas, that's all it's ever gonna be. It's a real head-turner though.
