I wouldnt know what you can get for parting a vette. But if you do I may be interested in some parts for my 94.

It all depends on how patient you are parting out the entire car would take forever. finding buyers for eveything would nearly impossible. But if everything went smooth I bet you could get 10k

More than you could sell it for. It would be some work and you would have to take your time.

Default I don't know but....

There are over 10000 parts on a C-4 and there are also quite a few people on Ebay that make a living from parting out vettes. Just purchased the two plastic bezels on the back of the seats for $9.99 each.

I do believe, as said above, you could make a small fortune parting out vettes...plus it makes ours just a little more rarer

You'd end up losing money if you plan on paying yourself for the time to disassemble and ship the parts, unless you work fer real cheap...

The biggest problem I see is that when your done selling all the parts that people want, you'll have a big stripped frame in your yard Al'a Joe pesci's movie "the super"
