Part out or sell a nice car???

You might not go to hell though.

I've been in and out of the parts business since 1986. You will go through hell. Every time. Sometimes the payment is worth it, most times, at least in my experience, I only do it because I need the money so the irritation is not an issue. But it's always a pain in the *** in some form or another, and especially with non E or B body stuff - it's rarely worth what you think it should be. The market is shrinking. Dying, as it's real enthusiasts pass away, actually. So I've found parts prices dropping because stuff doesn't sell for a while.
