WIW- 1971 Suburban Project

[badboy007]

I've lost interest in this project and am trying to get some kind of idea what this thing is worth. It has all of the following new parts:

Dropped upper & lower control arms from ART
New front suspension parts(idler arms, tie rod ends, etc.)
Custom built backhalf frame w/monster C-notch & 4-link
Slam Specialties RE-7 and RE-8 airbags
Viair 380 compressors, two 5-gallon tanks
Newly rebuilt 350 engine w/ chrome block hugger headers
20" Boss 304 chrome wheels and 255/35/20 tires(never mounted on truck)

The tranny is a 350 turbo. The truck had the overhead a/c system, but it was removed. I have all of the original parts to replace any of the new.

The body is in good overall condition. It will need replacement panels on the lower LH quarter panels in front and behind the wheel. There is also some rust under the drip rail near the upper liftgate area.

Give me some kind of idea. Just trying to see if its better to leave the new parts on or to replace with the original parts.

There's a fine line between WIW and FS post so be aware that the mods could lock this if it starts looking like an ad.

As far as your question; you really need to describe the body too.

looks real good so far if you've lost interest, just keep in mind the looks you'll get when you drive it to the local show i have a 72 body dropped burb and i love it so fun i'm goin' some new some ol school (big wheels, keep door handles and upper moulding, lose bottom moulding, keep taillights, but did a forward tilt hood) don't give up burbs are the best of all worlds

I think if you sold it as is you might get $3500, but I'm usually a high estimator on this kind of stuff. You might be disappointed with that number given the money and time you've put into it, but that's what happens when you sell something as a "project."
