Herman Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 I have a 260 and was able to chase down the car that my original engine was transplanted into a few years back. Now that I have pulled my original engine and have begun to start rebuilding THAT engine, what do I do with the other shell? Should I see if I can do a cheap 350 build on it or just sell it off? The car itself is pretty much a roller with no real interior just a good body (just surface rust here and there, no rust) stock wheels and good tires, so it's a good starting block to a build up, I just don't know about the cost of a 350 swap and if I can do it on the cheap. I was curious what everyone on here thought about it and the reality of doing it in a weekend or two OR if I should just see if I can sell it off. I asked around classiczcars but they advised me to come here. (I think I may have posted this in the wrong forum first) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herman Posted September 20, 2012 Author Share Posted September 20, 2012 Meh, I'd sell it as a shell. How would I advertise it so people would want it then? I understand the limitations of a 260 and most people would rather have the original 240 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loy Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 How would I advertise it so people would want it then? I understand the limitations of a 260 and most people would rather have the original 240 Just advertise it as a clean rolling shell with year with conditions of floor boards rails and usual rust spots. Pictures will go a long way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewZed Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Just saw your post on another forum. If you can't decide, you should just sell it. You'll have two cars, therefore twice as many decisions to make. You might consider giving it away, then you won't have to decide on a price.

Pictures will go a long way. Yeah, I did that a few weeks ago and nothing but tire kickers at the max. I only want a few hundred for it but people don't get it or just want me to part it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddydonuts Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 I guess you need to answer a question for yourself, is your time putting a new engine in it worth the extra money that you would get for selling a drivable car vs a shell.
