So obviously I know how to sell a car, but could use your thoughts on how far to go on preparations on this one. I've decided to sell the '66 solid axle and she is a bit rough at this point. Runs and drives, still need to check that the OD is healthy (this is the one I put new seals in and had the dowel issue with), but generally she can be used as a rolling restoration.
That said her interior is out - good news is that you can clearly see that her floors are in great shape but not sure that buyers will get that. She has a slight pulsing when braking, just a rotor issue that is easily sorted but... Horn needs attention so you don't honk everytime you hit a bump etc... Have the front sway bar ready to go on but not sure worth the time to do it etc... You get the picture. Have new but cheaper carpet, not too eager to put it in. Seats need to be recovered and re-stuffed. None of it is hard and none of it is "core" is that makes sense.
So would you clean her up but leave her more or less as-is and just wait for the right buyer? As you can probably tell I'm not too eager to spend a large amount of time here when I've got the rest of the fleet needing attention.
Ideas?
