Default Does a partial frame have value?

I have used parts of a C3 corvette to repair my frame, but am wondering if I will be able to sell the rest of the frame to someone who needs it for the same purpose. Any ideas if it is worth it or how much I could get? Sorry, I can't figure out how to add any photos of the frame to help this conversation.

I would say it has value. Therefore, it can be sold. It is ,however, difficult to tell you how much it would be worth. We would need to know more info such as the year of the frame and what was stripped from it.

Now you did mention that you have this frame to repair your old frame. The word repair scares me. Did you cut metal out of this frame to patch your other frame? If so, why not use the good frame? or is it bad also?

So I think we need a little more info to be able to help you out.

Someone might want the crossmember and the brackets for hanging a batwing.
