I've been feeling like a whizco horse trader of late.....
After a little effort, my fastback as (hopefully) sold to a gent in the UK. He's promised a deposit to arrive soon. One down....
I have "project lowbuck" - a '66 coupe that I've been tinkering on. I've accumulated most all of the parts, but it's not yet assembled. A guy in my club is looking for just such a project, so I'm showing it to him tonight. Possible sale....?
Which leaves the '66 sprint coupe. It needs paint and interior work, and minor electrical work to be sellable. If I keep it, I'll re-shock and re-spring it.
Which brings me to my question: A friend's son has a '66 289 coupe that he's restored to the tune of about $10,000 invested - new floors, wiring, etc. Solid car, but he's been trying to sell it and realizes he's upside down. I could probably buy the car for $5000.
SO, do you think it would be better to sell the two sixer coupes, and buy the one 289 car? I really kinda like the 200 ci, but realize that resale on the V8 is much better.
What would you do? TIA - Dickson
