Should I attempt to sell it complete or part it? I know I can sell some parts, I have a full set of NOS molding, NOS fenders etc that will bring cash. Surely someone here has been there, done that.

The next guy will be that much farther along from the start. Unfortunatlly in this hobby it is hard to get back the cash we put out. Put it in the SWAP MEET here and see who rings. Someday I'll have a '64.....and a '55.2.....and a 'COE.....and.....

Which '64 are you selling? Does it have any of the sought after accessories, ie power steering, power brakes, A/C, big back window? Interested in knowing what you have but sad to hear you are letting one go. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 2,384 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 2,384 | Tony, it has it all, even fact tach, just needs final bodywork/paint. I know I have 7k in it at least & can't drive it. Trucks are poor investments. Did those copies help you out? I also have another book w/info.

I need another project like I need a second belly button, but I've been looking around for a '64-'66 and...

If I was looking for parts, i'd probably buy a parts truck rather than try and gather the individual pieces.. just because it's cheaper overall.
So if you've got plenty of time to sell it (i.e. you're not in a cash crunch, and don't mind picking it apart) you'd probably make more of your money back parting it out.. but also consider your time is worth money, too.. the extra $500 or $600 you make parting it may not make up for the weird hour phone calls and the numerous trips to UPS or the Post Office shipping the parts.
Selling it as a whole instantly gives you a little larger customer base, and gets it off your property fastest.
an idea is only stupid if you think about it rationally.
