How much would you pay for a Super 1600 replica?

[HrRACING]

Just a quick one,

I have a lot of spare parts from my rallycross car that I could potentially use to build an imactualte 172 / 182 into a Super1600 replica.

I could put on the full bodykit inc spoiler, and fit suspension components that are wider to suit the arches, using 17" / 18" wheels of course.

The end product would be a 182 / 172 that looked the same as below.

Do you think there would be much call for a car like this, and what do you think people would be willing to pay?

Many thanks for any responses,
Cheers

I quite like the look of the super 1600 kits, certainly would allow a useful increase in trackwidth too, but i'd never be able to justify the cost for such small performance gains personally.

It would be borderline in my eyes

Could look really good

but could also look like a max-power, McD's drift-tray special.

In my opinion it just looks like a V6 wannabe

 

[HrRACING]

Interesting that people think its a V6 wannabe look, the Super1600 is so much more developed than a V6.

It would have to have the bubbling spitting engine to match imo to warrant the extra cost of doing the rolling shell properly over the cheaply kits available I'd imagine.

Does look awesome and steps ahead of the v6

I already have the renault sport kit sitting here and the suspension bits so it wouldnt cost the earth.

That may be but it doesn't *look* anywhere near as good!

it looks odd for the road especially with standard 172 power. great for rally tho.

Hey @HrRACING thats exactly what I'm doing at the moment...
the price for a totally stock immaculate 172/182 with super 1600 exteriors perfectly painted/wrapped, 17"/18" nice rims and wide suspensions should be around $20000/$25000 (Australian Dollars) Sorry i dont know your currency.

Btw, in my project i will put 6cm spacers per axle welded on the back and a longer arm/steering rod in the front, a new shock absorber with longer connections but i dont know which drive shaft i shuld use considering that i will keep the stock joints...
Any suggestions?

I'd love a S1600. Not so sure about a 1*2 dressed as one though.
