OK... I know this is somewhat of a silly question. I have never parted out a car, but can't see this thing going to a junk yard... I don't think it will sell that well whole either.

So what parts are worthwhile? The engine has apparently lost a ring, rocker panels are rusted... Is it worthwhile to try and sell fenders, autoglass and what else????

I live in suburbia so I can't have it sitting around in my driveway forever looking like a mess. I suppose I could buy a car cover for it but that seems kind of a waste of money.

Help!

Oh and since I'm sure I'm going to get asked : '79, 300D, tan... trying to get my digital camera working before I start posting parts or auctioning on eBay.

Thanks,
Bill

Any small parts that are in good shape switches, relays etc. from there it is what is in salvageable shape with out too much effort to remove and ship.

Try ebaying the little stuff and let people know in your ad's that you have this car to part out. let them come to you for the big stuff.

Do us a favor and list the car as a whole- "parting out". Then folks can ask about individual items and PM with interest. Don't post each item- then all your post will fill the whole first page of item for sale or wanted.
