One of the hottest I've seen.

well, there are rich idiots out there, don't be surprised it will be sold within few months.
some people just don't have the time and knowledge to mod their cars.

pretty much.. ive seen quite a few very mildly moded, yet clean 510's that fetched quite a few bucks...
rims, lowered abit, twin side draft carbs...
i mean, if i had the money, i'd get a lightly modded and somewhat restored 240z for a shiny penny...

if u got high quality parts + tastefully done, 50% return on aftermarket parts is highly possible.
body mods are subjective to each individual, so don't even expect to get even close to 50% return on that unless u find the RIGHT buyer..
this guy asking price is ridiculous, no one is going to pay what he is asking.
the car stock is probably worth $22k-$25k. he expect to only lose around 15% on all his mods? and he includes labor in his parts total? HAHAHA.. keep dreaming.

$45K and it'll be sold.
He cannot part it out. Unless that kit is just glued to the car, it'd cost more to remove the kit than it'd be worth. Then who would want the car with a widebody kit and most of the other parts missing.
I sympathize with the owner, I'm in the same boat. I cannot part out my car cause I'd be left with a 2-tone shell that wouldn't sell easily. I would also be lucky to recover 30% of my mods selling them with the car.
