Need Opinion, Part Out or Try to Sell Complete

Hi all,

I am at the point that I think I am going to sell of my '68 long term project. I haven't touched it in almost 4 years. It is taking up all of my available space and with two other old classics, I am not sure when I will ever get back to it.

I need opinions on what would be the better move on trying to sell it. It is COMPLETELY apart regarding the body and bed. Rolling chassis is basically done, engine and trans gone through and a TON of new parts that await it.

Do you think trying to sell it as a whole project would be better or should I part it out? My fear with parting it out is the time it will take and/or being left over with a bunch of parts. Do people buy completely disassembled trucks as a whole? Which am I likely to net more of my costs from?

You can see the build pics at the link for the '68 in my signature.

Thanks!!!

You will get more for it in parts than whole...just take a look at Craigslist. It's flooded with projects that are just sitting there. It will take you longer to part it out...but selling it whole you will take a bath.

I agree as well. Sadly, these trucks seem to be worth more as parts than as full trucks.

Leddzepp is correct parts are going to be the faster and most likly market. Try offering it as both a project and parts. Replies should give you good direction quickly. Itemize and price as parts.
