Man that extra engine should pay the bills by its self.
 
"...before i ebay them."

I'll keep an eye out for:

"These rare examples with minor rust..." /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devilgrin.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/jester.gif
 
"Just waiting for someone to love and restore......."
 
You'd be surprised what the better of the 2 will bring as a 'restorable' car on eBay.

Possibly - but you have to take the carcass out to the curb & sit on all those parts until somebody wants them...I've got parts on the shelf that I've had for 10 yeears or more!

/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/iagree.gif It's alot harder to sell parts than it is an entire car, thats one reason why I've never parted out a car.
 
I have to agree to that also. My biggest problem is how/what to charge.
 
Put the best one on ebay with a starting price of $300...watch it go from there (especially if you say it comes with its own parts car).
 
K, i got them home and have done a little staring and digging a little. It appears the one with the roll bar has a B engine. 18GB, the other a 15GB, and the spare engine has no plate but block is a 1500. Along with them came a chevy trunk lid i dont recognize, see my post in the other cars forum. acouple of quick pics as well.

I think folks are right, a rebuidable and a parts car. If you don't want em I would sell em that way. See what happens on eBay, no reserve, start at 2K. Hehe.
 
Is that red dash, its instruments & steering wheel in as good shape as they look in the photo?
 
Tony , that dash is good, wheel has cracks and feels pretty weak. other dash is good as well, but the wheel has delaminated.

I'd clean em up, mark one as restorable, call the other its parts car & put em on ebay - start the auction around $300....show lots of photos, especially of the positives such as the dashes.
 
I need a steering wheel, depending on how bad that one is....and if your willing to sell seperately I might be interested.
 
The wheel as i said is pretty cracked at the points where the wires meet the rim. To me it feels weak. are they all like that? kinda flimsy feeling if you push pull on it a little? i could probaly part with it. if i can get it off.....

Stick afork in the the one the tree fell on as it seems done. The other with the 2x4 holding up the bonnet has some potential. Can't you make one out fo both?
 
Tell ya what....If you ever get around to removeing the wheel snap a pic of it, I have two rough wheels so if it's any better than those I'll take it. They are pretty flimsy by nature...I don't see how cracks in the plastic would make it more so as it is essentially a steel rim wheel.
