Make sure you are getting the entire half cut. some places advertise a half cut then when you get it all that's there is the engine tranny and the portion of the car that was cut away. which leaves you with nothing but the shell when the motor and tranny are pulled. But if you getting the entire thing with things like lights wiring, gage clusters ect ect you can sell stuff to get back some money. But as mentioned above there are a lot of parts out there for sale.
Also if your getting a full half cut make sure you get it running then test compression after a good warm up period.
