Default Re: 53 Customline Value

Once you get the53 home and clean the crap out of it , then you can get a better look at the car . I would put it on good jack stands so you can get under the car to look everything over really well . Then you have a better idea on the best way to get the most money from the car .
I still think parting the car out and scraping the rest will bring you the most return . Problem is , it also will take the most time to do that too . Still if you don't have to get rid of the car really quick , then I would part it out . Before you take the remains to the scrap yard , make sure you cut the roof off at the lowest points on the pillars . That top can be reused for someone with a crushed in roof or a really bad chop ! It also has a lot of really good 18ga sheetmetal that can be reused for future projects that need patch panels , floors , trunks and so on .
Just a thought .
