    i have a 70 grabber 302 c4 disc brakes black in orange out no rust runs great.
    i want to know if there is enough people needing parts to make it worth parting out.
    also selling at least 75% of the parts how much i could get out of it.
    if anyone has input feel free to give it thanks

    If it has no rust...don't part out. With those features...it is more desirable and more profitable in my opinion to sell it as a whole.

    if it's in pretty good condition i would think you'd get more by selling it whole as compared to the time and effort to part it out.:)

    if it's got no rust i wouldn't part it out. sounds like some one did alot of work to it putting disc brakes on it and every thing. if it's running why don't you drive it around i'm sure you would love it. there very fun cars to drive.

    I agree with everyone else. If it's in decent shape, it would be sad to part it out.

    The best cars to part are those that have been severely wrecked, those with excessive rust, those that are missing too many parts to make it worth rebuilding, or 4-door models in any condition. Otherwise, don't part it out. Restore it or sell it whole....
