[QUOTE="Evox, post: 1041503, member: 74754"] It looks like the OP has moved on, but it's worth more just in parts. If everything is in good shape, especially if it's a southeastern car (no rust or corrosion), it is worth more than $1,000. Granted, it's not a quick buck. You have to remove the parts and ship them. This is laborious, but when you consider the front and rear bumpers are worth more than $1k and then add in all the other bits and bobs, it probably worth at least three or four times the asking price. ...or you can put a new motor in it, and renew the suspension, and daily drive it. All of it doesn't factor in the value of your labor. But parting out a car or truck is a great way to learn how to build a car or truck, so there is some educational value in it. I've learned a lot just by taking things apart.
