In need of an opinion. Do you think it is worth it to sell a car whole that really only needs a few parts and some body maintenance (not rust)? or is it more profitable to part it out? Its an 86 iroc, lb9, with 110K+, etc. I know it would be terrible to wreck a viable car, but by the market I just don't know if I would make as much by selling it whole. Tell me there is hope.

i had a 1988 iroc-z 5.7 i paided 800 for it out of my pocket and i wrecked it a few months later and made a big profit from parting it out, not fixing it..

it had bent frame rails, the strut towers were pushed in alot..
not worth fixing something up that bad..

I feel it is always good to restore a classic thirdgen. but that just depends on how much you love the car.

 

Tell ya what Bud, I'll give ya $100 for it. That way go don't have to make such a choice

 

Well my question was regarding making the most money. So selling whole and parting out both beat selling it for $100. Sorry.
Believe me, I'd like to keep this car. It was my first car and I've owned it for 8 years. Unfortunately, I have other things going on and I feel that it is a waste to let a perfectly good car go to waste in my driveway.
I could always use more money, so if it has to go I want to make the most that I can. Sadly it seems that it is worth more in parts.

How much would you sell it whole for? That will determine what your next move would be. It is a shame to part out any 3rdgen that is not damaged in my opinion.
