 I plan on parting the body out separate Carl.

 $350 for the shell. Partial floor replacement, good firewall, perfect cowl and window channel. Needs quarters, trunk pan and intermediate panel. Includes a pretty nice quarter, one partial forward quarter. Partial trunk pan and a firewall section. Has a title, not in my name.

$400 for the doors. No rust. Includes glass, all hdwr and red panels.

$100 each for the hood and decklid. Good shape.

$60 each for the fenders. Need lower repair.

$60 for the front Valance.

Misc stuff to come.

Cheers, Mark

Wow Mark, that must have been a tough decision. You have so much time and thought into that project it must be hard to give it up. At least you are getting your instant gratification with your ride.

Thanks for the kind words guys!

Yes, it's been tough deciding to sell off what was basically a dream. But I am buoyed by what a friend told me just last week. "Think of any monies lost through your labour or parts, as the cost of entertainment". And he's right. It's never really been work building this. Somtimes I swear the fun is in the build. The chassis was really like a big puzzle that taught and gave me more skill than when I started. I learned metalwork, welding, painting, and the black art of rearend rebuilding.  Entertainment and hobbies are never really about worrying about money, we throw cash in like it doesn't matter, and it really dosen't when your having fun. At least unlike gambling, this "entertainment" pays back on a lot of fronts. Maybe the chassis and some of the parts will actually see the road which is nice. Some of the best NOS stuff is going out to the best and rarest 69's on the site.

Another positive of this, is now I can do small projects on the 67, and actually have the skill and confidence that they'll actually get done, and I'll be on the road in a reasonable time. I plan on changing out the engine in the spring to my H0350 (if I dont sell that too!), and I have no misgivings that I'll be able to do it. It's nice knowing what I know now.

With that said, just being a part of the CP hobby, and being on this site is really what it's all about. We know we're into somthing different and special.

Oh, one more thing, I'll be making a generous donation to the CP, and really, thanks to Todd, I'd never have had such a quality, reliable and respectful place to sell these parts.

Cheers, Mark

 You are sure right there as this being a good site for parts dealings.  I don't even remember how many things I have sold here now but 90 % of them I have been able to send out and tell the person the amount and then they can send the cheque.  Some of them I have told to wait until they receive it to make sure they are satisfied and then send the funds.  I got a cheque Wednesday from the guy in Texas who was looking for the radio and tailights and the next day got a message from him that he had gotten the parts.  Just like probably more than half the people the amount was for more than was asked.  What a joy to do business this way.

Amen Carl. I wouldn't have it any other way on here.

so right thanks and merry christmas to all

Sold the chassis, bodyshell an some misc parts to Dan (rarechev). He drove down from Brighton this morning. We spent a couple of hours shootin' the breeze, and I can say he's a great guy, a true car guy to the core and great person to deal with! He'll get his wife's 69' 2+2 on the road just a little quicker now. BTW, I'll expect pictures of the build Dan!

Cheers, Mark.

The end of my part of the project.

Great stuff!

Dan, take Mark for a ride when it's done!
