I got this for, with the intent to scrap it out, but after taking a good look at it, I'm wondering if it would be worth my time to try and sell it. Here's a few of the details:
It's been stored in a garage for the last 30 years
Front and rear windows have no scratches or chips
No through rust
Has 9" Dana rear end
Good wiring harness
Two extra doors with glass, chrome, and mirrors
Has NO engine, trans or interior.
What does the information from the tag mean?
Body-63A, Color-A, Trim-54, Date-23B, Trans-4, Axle-6
The serial # is 1Y71Z132003
Would the serial number from the tag be the VIN number or is there an actual VIN number for these cars?
In my novice opinion, it looks like a great starter car for restoration, or for parts for someone already restoring.
What do you think? Any opinions on how much I would ask for it?
