I’m in WNY area and looking to part ways with my ‘59 Starchief for either parts or as a whole. 4 door bubble top. Not in the greatest shape but not really a basket case either. Needs more body work than anything else. 389 2 barrel. Everything is original. A bunch of extra parts. No broken glass. I just have to many projects and looking to use funds from its sale to finish the Tbird I have. Just basically getting the feelers out to see if people want some the good trim and parts.
If you have the time, patience to part a car you might was well fix it or at least clean it up. Think about the old time junkyards. It might take 15 years to get the goodie from a car sitting out there. When you part a good car, the good stuff goes first and you're left with most of it as hulk that goes over the scales. It's a cool car but it's not a high demand car. Thus you have a better chance if it's complete. There's more of a market for a complete car. Best case.....running and driving tag and titled. Not restored but drivable. Next... Running with a valid title but not road ready. Next.... Cleaned up not running with a valid title. Lastly... No title, as is where is bargain priced to move in one piece.
Good stuff. I unfortunately don’t have the means to haul my land barge that far. Otherwise Gettysburg would be awesome! You prove a good point. No high demand but running I would be in a better position to sell.
Too far but I would like the 389. something I like about those reverse flow tin indian mills. I bought a 60 catalina jan 1st. just to get the 389 engine.
Don’t be so stubborn The OP did not say his was a hardtop (pillarless) and his does have the same roofline contour......with lots of glass.......bubble-like Your ‘60 two door is a beauty though, that’s for sure. Ray
