I sold my Mirada roller "as is" for $7500 in 2012... it just happened to have a well worn RB 498 that had just run a string of low 9.9 passes at March Meet two weeks before the sale. Made it perfectly clear to the buyer that the motor owed nobody ANYTHING! ( ...it's still in the car) ...it sucked selling it, well built D-60 rear, ladder bar, full cage, awesome roller trans, but the market isn't huge for anything Mirada.
