That is a pretty general question and doesn't really have a set answer. Like many things, it all depends on the buyer.

Obviously, quality of the work will be a determining factor in valuation, but other things will come into play. If the potential buyer is looking for an original style build, the closer to original, the more interest he may show. OTOH, if all he wants is a good driver with lots of horsepower........ if your car meets his needs then the value is what you agree on. I know this isn't much of an answer but there just isn't a lot of history on scratch built cars to answer definitively.

If you're happy with the car, what else is important? -

As far as what car you have, it would be difficult to tell without taking a good look at the car from all angles- especially from underneath so the frame, suspension, drivetrain, and type of build has been accomplished.
Somewhere he must have had a set of plans to go from, so the previous owner is probably the best person to answer your question. - Bob
