Sell whole or part out?

[bflan2001]

I have a friend who wants to sell or part out two cars, a 67 1600 and a 74 2002. I'm going over there this week to take a look and try to get some good pictures, but I just wanted to see whether he'd be better off parting them out or selling them whole? (I'm an E21 guy so not very familiar with 2002s)

both have 2.0L motors, and i think he said the 1600 has a rod bearing starting to go. they've both been sitting for 10+ years (garaged)

It kinds of depends on the condition of the bodies and the interiors. If they are good shells, that could be decent cars with some work, they might be better/easier sold whole. If they're not so great, then it might be part out time, but again he might end up unable to make a good dollar by doing that if he values his time.

Pics will be interesting....

photos indeed = please

could end up one of the cars (1600) might have funny

bulging fenders, collapsed springs, really small seats,

strange fuel injector looking carb things with a big square

air cleaner with the letters " A L P I M A " ? cast into the cover???

get us some photos pronto tonto

if either car looks very strange to you - like a lot of

weird add on stuff = shut-up about it, say youll be back

with a flat-bed truck tomorrow, and hand the owner

$1000 CASH before you leave. REPEAT = do not say

anything and if pressed - just say you have some friends

that might be able to use some of the stuff but you'll

probably have to cut them up for re-cycling
