opinions on my '65

I wouldn't part it out. It's waaaayyy too nice for that and I'm all for saving the good ones that are left regardless of pedigree. I'm begining to lean towards doing body/paint and stick in the 273. Yes, even more work - but it would maximize the return which is really why I am selling. I would prefer to pay off a few things rather than carry them any longer and I haven't registered, insured, or driven this car other than quick blasts down the street in 2 years.
