Default opinions please

I have a 71 body with no front end ,no frame , no interior, a number correct block and trans as well as number and date correct heads and intake , with a title. its a base 350 auto coupe w/air so i'm not inclined to take it on as a long term project.
my question is , sell it as a package or just part it out , i'm just looking for opinions on what is the best way to proceed

Lets see who will be the first to chime in that it's worthless....

Kind of a shell...is the title you have the same number as on the pillar, if so and if the bird cage is not too rotted someone will want it, so advert it as a package that you will break up....

the title matches all the numbers , including the one on the a piller , its "numbers matching" so it has to be worth a small fortune .... the pristine cars that are not matching numbers are the ones that are worthless.

all bs aside , probably the way to go is bats idea , a package I am willing to break up

I echo what Bats said. Offer it up as a package and see what you get. It's worth letting someone see about putting it all back together. Just my 2 cents.

Later,

Lee

Yeah, why I asked about the title, I could see a savvy builder making a whole car starting with just a bird cage and body...if the bc is good.

I agree with bats (he's da man). So what condition is the BC?
