68 GTX, has original numbers drive train and I have the build sheet. Body is toast, it came up from Alabama in 2011 and was stored outside on dirt under a lean to. All metal south of the firewall except for the roof would have to be replaced. My options are strip out what I can and scrap the body or sell as is. What do you think the as is sale price might be?

Thanks for any responses.

Figure what the drivetrain is worth / Or value of salvageable parts.

Thanks Bill, that's just it, I've never really sold anything parts/engine wise before so not really sure.

Paul,
a 4spd / dana drivetrain car would do pretty well. I've seen prices on Dana alone in the 2500-3000 range. Add another $1500 or more for 18 spline 4spds.


Good date 440s Ive seen anywhere from $500 to $2500 , depending on condition.

Throw in any good GTX specific trim interior, etc etc . I could see the complete car bring $4000- to $5000 for someone needing a lot of parts

I am so glad Im not trying to build a project car in this market. Parts have gone thru the stratosphere.



Still have the Roadrunner I assume?

Thanks for the info Bill and yes I do. Bodywork and paint on the RR was done back in 1997 and it needs a refresh so I'm going to concentrate on that.

Value selling complete will depend on condition of trim parts - interior & exterior - and much of that stuff is hard to find.
If that's all toast as well, then it's drivetrain & mechanical + scrap value if complete.
Selling complete saves you time & labor, and if it rolls, may be easier for a buyer to load up & go.
SWAG is $3500-$4500 asking, depending on condition; $2500 should work if you just want it gone.
As others have stated, 4-speed & Dana add a bunch if that's what you have.
A little effort at cleaning stuff up makes it more appealing.

Thank you, this car is plain Jane according to build sheet, 440-727 any 3.23 8.75. Seems like most of the original parts under the hood are still there like exhaust manifolds, radiator, master cylinder etc.

Cool. Sounds like $3000 range as is



Still the same engine it was a few years back? Damn that car sounded good

My youngest LOVED it.

Sell/remove all parts worth $$, then scrap the body.
Selling it all with any paperwork/tags/plates could become a re-body down the road.

Potato, I should clarify, I bought the car from someone I know in 2018. The guy I bought it from got it from down south (I 'm pretty sure he said AL but I could be wrong) in 2011 and he had an Ohio title for the car, and I now have an OH title for the car as I went to my OH BMV to pay the sales tax and transfer ownership to me.

I hear you, I think I'm leaning towards stripping it myself and scrapping the body.

Would love to see how bad this car is. Personally I would just calculate the value of the parts and sell the car complete and let the new owner pull the parts. If the part brakes. it's worth less or nothing. I find people want little bolts and trim and takes alot of time to sell it in pieces.

In Your reply, look at the post options, select "attachment Manger" click on it. You drag and drop or select a file to attch. Four pic maximum per reply.

Either way it is pretty easy once you do it a few times.

People have been bringing back some really wasted cars, so not sure I’d give up on it just yet.


I want my fair share

I agree, it’s far from gone.


It really doesn't matter whether you win or lose…
as long as you look good doing it!
