I have a theoretical question. First, let me say that I have NO intention of selling my car. I was just wondering about this. Let's say I wanted to sell my car and wanted to get the absolute maximum amount of money, and wasn't in a big hurry to get the money. Part of me would hate to see a nice 69 Barracuda FB parted out, but I am thinking that I could get at least twice the amount of money by parting it out. Think about it; a car like mine with nice bucket seats, good sheet metal, great 340, 4 speed setup with console, disk brakes, AC, 3.55 Suregrip 8.75, SBP Cragars with new tires, etc, etc, etc. The car is not at ALL rare or matching numbers, but I think it is pretty nice. SO my question is in a few parts: Do you agree that one can get about twice as much by parting it out, and how would you feel about parting out a good car? Good parts from such a car could help fix up/save a lot of other cars. Again, I am NOT planning to sell my car. Someone asked me what I thought the car was worth, and it got me thinking.
