I have 'inherited'....
« on: September 01, 2017, 12:14:33 PM »
a car. It's a 1986 Mustang Hatch, that's been converted into a 'Track-Day' semi-road racer. It has all the good stuff, from a 351 Windsor to a Tremec HD to an aluminum drive-shaft and back to a 3.83 8.8. Interior is cleared-out and a racing bucket. Suspension and brakes have been upgraded.

I have no personal use for the car and am trying to decide whether to sell it 'as-is' or part it out. Haven't had anything to do with such a car for many years and, although it's probably worth more for parts, there's the work of taking it apart. And the nearest place to store/work on it is 20 miles from my house.

Give me your thinking. What should I do? Comments and suggestions solicited.

Unless you're in a hurry, I'd advertise it on sports car, road race and a few popular Mustang sites first. JMO!

Those "four eye" cars have a following.  I would sell as a driver, unless someone just wants the body for some reason.
I assume it is rust free?  Dent free?

it's black and I've only seen pictures. It seems to be rust and dent free.

I've now posted the same questions on the 'four-eye' forum.

Thanks all, for your comments and suggestions. Shipping to me has now been slowed by the weather in the South. More later, perhaps.
