Sadly must sell my project car, but how should i do it?

[Fenixfire]

Hey guys, sadly I have to sell my project car I dont want to at all, but some stuff came up and its just the smarter move right now. I need some suggestions tho. Should I sell the whole project together to see if someone wants to finish it? Or should I just part everything out seperately?

Currently the car is basically a rolling chassis with no engine or tranny in it. i have EVERYTHING needed to finish the car except for a good shortblock with a nice rotating assembly in it. I have my old block, crank, rods and pistons but they are apart and its just cheaper to buy an already assembled forged shortblock. i have the gaskets, pumps, bolts, heads, tranny, motor mounts, etc etc.....most of which is brand new.

So someone could buy everything as a whole and finish it. Would be a badass car for sure. Or I could just sell everything individually and sell the car as a rolling chassis.

Thoughts?

Im leaning toward just parting it out, but wanted opinions first.

Guess I got my answer lol

If you do a part out all the desirable stuff will sell and then you are left with the run of the mill items. Just my thoughts

What kind of car is it?

I'd part it out if it isn't finished.

You will definetly recoup more money selling everything individually. Whether you have the patience to do that is up to you.

what car is it??????

Here it is:

03 Mach 1 with 80000 miles on the chassis. Good frame, has accident but only 5 mph cosmetic damage to bumper. Has no motor or tranny in it right now, but thats all thats missing from it. Brakes are Rotor pro zinc plated cross drilled/slotted rotors all the way around with Hawk Ceramic brake pads. Rotors and pads have about 7k miles on them. Wheels are 18x9 and 18x10 Deep dish Black chrome bullitts wrapped in 315 Toyo Proxes R888s (rears are at the wear bars) Fronts are wrapped in 245 Toyo Proxes R888s (just bought the front tires two months ago. Only 500 miles or so on them) Wheels have zero curb rash. Car has cobra front and rear bumpers. The rear bumper is cracked on the passenger side where some ass hole ran into the back of the car while it was parked and took off without leaving any info. Interior, suspension and rearend are all stock, but it does have 4.10s in the rear.

Thats the rolling chassis.

Then I have a whole slew of new parts that I bought with the intention of building a bad ass posi eaton setup, but things came up and now I need to sell everything The only thing needed to finish it is a shortblock with rotating assembly. I have all gaskets, bolts, mounts, pumps, etc, etc.

All above stuff is brand new except for the posi race ported eaton had 5k miles, but was refreshed. The 4 lb caged lower also had 5k miles but was refreshed with a new bearing and it looks new.

The used stuff:

If you do want to part it out should I start the flood of "I wants" here?

Stewart Mechanical water pump
Melling Billet gear oil pump
Custom 4 lb lower with stock cage retained (billet aluminum) depending on whose this is. I have one with a 2 pound pulley on it but wouldn't mind another. Since the guy that made the only ones I know about decided not to make any more.
FRPP Header Gaskets

ARP Head studs, cam bolts and harmonic balancer bolt. Are these all ARP products?

Start n charge 160 amp alternator Will this alt fit the 03 Cobra? Or is it the top mounted alternator?

If you decide to sell it whole then...............................nevermind.

 

[itSSlow98]

Definetly part it or keep it. No way would I sell it as a package unless you get a ridiculous offer which you wont.

Its an 03 Cobra Alternator.....The whole setup is 03/04 cobra. Its only mach 1 in name, looks, SRA, tranny and aluminum block......

Yes, the cam bolts and harmonic balancer bolt are ARP as well.

Im going to setup a thread in the market under terminator parts buy/sell. Ill price everything there. I can provide photos too, but only on request because there are way too many parts to post photos of everything.

PM Me if you are seriously interested. Ill sell the eaton swap as complete. I wont part that out.

The 4 lb caged lower should be from the same guy that did your 2 lb lower. Was the guy that started making them here on svtp........forget his screen name. Started with a W?

Buy a stock 4v put the car back to running/driving and part the aftermarket and spare parts.
