Senior Forum members and above have an advantage when parting, because they can do it here.
But even so, if you page through the used section you will see part outs that have been going on, literally, for years.
And all that time it's just sitting there, looking bad. Seems like a PITA to me.

It is a Z07 with under 60k miles so don’t think 8k is a stretch although you very well maybe right about the 8k being too much but it would be worth that or close to that as this car is really clean, you could or at least I would eat off the undercarriage as it’s mint under there.

..... What makes you think that parting this car out will be easier on your bad knee than fixing it ... You make it sound like a very clean 'vette ... it would be a shame to part it out ... and you expected someone to pay 5G's for a broken car ? ... 3G's for a roller that needs paint ... where are you getting your pricing from ?
I take it you have never driven a manual C4. The problem with my knee is not an issue working on my own car but with being in traffic and having to depress the clutch continually. I know I can’t get 5k for the car which is reason I’m asking what can I expect to get parting it out. I am not asking 3k for a roller I’m asking can I get 3k+ in parts after I remove engine for my truck.

You sound like my dad. His 99 F350 is immaculate. He has under 200k on the motor Well taken care of and the transmission is an excellent one with aluminum trans pan and rear end cover with nice aftermarket exhaust. Waxed and washing whenever it is dirty. Never seen snow. Wanting 20k or more. It's still sitting. Check what they have sold for or be one hell of a salesman and whip up the Corvette Fever in the buyer if you want more than it sells for
so maybe 6k at most with trans fixed?

With those posting 8k is ridiculous amount for car fixed I’m starting think parting out most logical thing to do. Thanks for all the replies as really thinkn I’m stupid thinking get any return selling fixed.
so how’s these estimates for what I could get for these parts? Any items I’m missing?
2000 Engine
400 Springs/sway bars Shocks
50 Ecm with memcal
50 Ccm 60k miles
50 Radio and speakers + misc
250 Trans/ clutch pedal /shifter/trim
750 Dana 44 3.54 ratio
50 Glass targa
150 Solid top targa
100 All other trim pieces
100 Door panels
50 Steering column has play
100 2 9.5 sawblades no rash l/r
100 Engine harness
150 Front brakes
100 Side panels (3) 2 left side
50 Front plate cover
150 Non sport seats leather
350 Corbeau seats and brackets
Any of these amounts out of line? Asking too much or too little? This is not a for sale post these numbers just trying add up what would get if part out. All input welcome even pointing out my stupidity.

6k? Probably close.. Maybe a little high, depending. I haven't seen yours.
Paint is a big deal on a Corvette.
They're horribly expensive to have painted and, as you may have noticed, (Because they all wind up here to post and ask questions.) seem to attract people with little mechanical skill who place emphasis on finding a cherry example.
If you look through the used section there are part outs all over the place. If you look at yours with a critical eye, and look at what things go for in those threads, it should give you a ballpark $$$ amount.

I think it's based on time here and post count..
It is a good place to sell if you want to.
The specific rules (and there ARE some very specific rules) are posted in the used section..

FYI, from what I have seen, you are quite a bit light on the Dana 44 assembly. Most of them I have seen go for $1200.00 plus, when you include the batwing, c-beam etc. In fact, there have been complete assemblies, control arms, drive shafts, half shafts etc, listed in the $1800.00 range around the web lately. As far as your parts are concerned, it is the complete Dana 44 assembly that carries a good part of the value.
Sure people might want this little part and that little part, but from a performance view/standpoint, the engine isn't worth anything. The body parts are only worth it to someone when they break their car.
Earlier you had mentioned sticking in an auto. That is actually not a bad suggestion if you still want a C4 Vette.
Of course, except for the Dana 44, the rest is just my opinion. The junkyards around here want $1200.00 for the diff and batwing, not the rest of it. For C4 folks looking to convert to a Dana 44, it is the diff and batwing that are the hard parts to get, the c-beam can be redrilled and the driveshaft shortened if need be.

Assuming the D44 is in good shape and not cracked, I'd definitely have paid more than $750 if I was local to you.

I’m keeping complete engine other than maybe accessories which I value at 2k.
It makes sense maybe put automatic trans in it. Right now my options are part out or make auto. ...but parting out probably as also have really nice truck as toy vehicle and don’t need two toys. Thanks everyone for input even if it’s info don’t think good just writing all this here and listening to feedback giving me lots of insight.[/left]

I think you might be right. Make it auto.

What would you have left if you remove the trans? A maybe ok D44? The rest would take work, aka $$ to remove so either you do it and sit on the parts till they sell or pay someone to consign them, again $$ so how long are you willing to wait for the money? Like I said before, get the cheapest repair and sell the whole thing for a fast move. Break it down slowly if you want to get your $3000 if you don't care how long it takes.

It cost me nothing to take parts off car. I have all tools needed even engine hoist.
I already broke parts down in post above and with someone suggesting can get over 1000 for just Dana 44 assy. So I’m 95% gonna part her out. Probably start posting some items next week classifieds here and on FB groups.
