Should I part out my Euro equiped 1977 450 SE ?
I purchased a 1977 450 SE in 2000 with the full intent of future restoration in mind, this model was not imported into the US that year. I have been advised by someone considered knowledgable that due to the valuable " Euro " parts on it it would be to my advantage to sell parts; bumpers, headlights with the wipers, taillights and even needing a rebuild the Euro engine with the hot cam. Can I get some feedback on what fair prices would be for some of the most sought after parts? I have not decided on that route but my ability to work on cars has gone becouse of medical issues.

Not knowing much about this model, I would guess that the exhaust manifolds might be different (better) also.
Having said that, if you have medical conditions that prevent you from restoring the car, the same medical conditions might prevent you from parting out the car. Not that many people want to come remove parts themselves, most will want them shipped. People are very quick to tell someone how valuable something is. Then ask them to come and remove it and pay for it and they vanish. Or so I have experienced. My best suggestion is to post on w116.org - those are the real W116 fans and people there will probably also tell you how important the parts are, but they also might buy the car whole for a decent price. |
