Sometimes you have no other choice but to part them out.
I have a 70 Charger 500 project that I have been trying to sell for a while, with no real interested buyers. Sure its a 318 car, and has the typical rust, but it also comes with two 727's, a low mileage running 440, a 383 out of a Superbee, and a 331 Hemi. Has a build sheet, fender tag, and clean title. Would be the perfect car for a restomod, clone, etc. I've got $6500 in everything, and that is what I have been asking for it. Maybe its worth it, maybe its not. Either way, why should I take a loss on it just to keep it together. I'm going to give it to the end of summer, and if it doesnt sell, then I'll start taking it apart, and haul everything to Carlisle next year. I'll wind up making a heck of a lot more than I have in it. But, at least I tried to sell it whole first. Not my fault if everyone expects me to just give it to them.
