You guys are right about probably regretting selling them down the road, but that's life.

The sedan should bring around $5-5.5K as it's in one piece and driveable as is, interior and all in great shape.

The coupe should bring about the same price even though it's in pieces. No rust anywhere and the fenders were painted by somebody who really knew how to shoot black.

Plus having both titles is a plus,, I was offered $500 for both titles at a show last year.

The engines, wheels, rear ends, transmisssions are not worth much as they are all of suspecious condition. But on the whole there is some value.

To build the coupe right will take a minimum of 10K by my calculations and then I'd have something. The Sedan probably half that to be good to great shape. I'd rather spend that money in my hunt for a 68 Roardunner coupe (first new car)

I know A's can go 65 as I had the coupe up to that going down a hill with a buddy pacing me. (I was 16 and the old man never knew). At 65 it was definately a shakey, noisey, dusty experience.

But, I own things, they don't own me and I'm not keeping these cars.
