What ya think? 73 240, Calif car transported to Indiana 25 years ago, lots of mods, no rust, but needs some minor interior/exterior work to be back on the road.The car has been in storage for years and I got it out last year and started working at getting it back on the road but have lost interest, would rather have a Harley I guess Anyway looking at prices and buyers I'm wondering if I couldn't realize a higher return parting the car out than selling it together simply because most buyers are looking for either a V8 swap car and don't want to pay for tripple webbers or are looking for a car to restore and don't want to replace the aftermarket parts I've installed, in either case most of what I've put in to it would be thrown out. I'd like to see this car go to a good home but anymore I just want to get rid of it and get on with life. So what ya think, part it or sell it???

With no rust, and in the midwest, it'd be a shame to part it out. You probably could get more for the parts, but it would take you a long time. That's what Bob Zola is doing - no one would pay his asking price for his very nice series 1 car, so now there are parts all over the US. However, he is an experienced ebayer that has all the time he needs to wait and realize good prices on his parts. I even own a few of them now . So part of it depends on what you think you want for the car, and how much time you're willing to sell parts. Wish I had another garage bay. Where's Ligonier?

I'm an ebay powerseller so that is part of my drive, I've owned the car since 79 so a little more time dosen't matter much. Ligonier is 35 miles northwest of Ft.Wayne, I would guess about 4 hours from you, you are there at tower hobbys home, one of my old hobbies

Lance, What is your eBay ID? What kind of stuff do you sell?

...most buyers are looking for either a V8 swap car and don't want to pay for tripple webbers or are looking for a car to restore and don't want to replace the aftermarket parts I've installed, in either case most of what I've put in to it would be thrown out. I'd like to see this car go to a good home but anymore I just want to get rid of it and get on with life. So what ya think, part it or sell it???

Don't be so sure! There are MANY people who would be interested in a car like what you have. Especially if it is rust free as there are not that many rust free cars in the midwest. I'd sell it as is. For a better idea of what you have though, you should post up some pix here and you will get a more accurate feedback.

Just out of curiosity how much would you sell the whole thing for?

My ID is red4691 on ebay, sold a lot of balsa wood, parted some cars and antique tractors, but I've been taking a break this year selling on ebay, sort of got burned out, work all day then come home and pack things all night it seemed. Been mostly a buyer the last 6 months.

As for the car I'd like more but would settle for $3500. Probably twice that in aftermarket parts and fresh engine. I need to get it out and get some pics taken, just not enough hours in a day, spending all my time right now swapping engines in my Jimmy so I can get back and forth to work!
