1989 RS original owner sell or part out?
I'm the original owner of a 1989 Camaro RS T-Tops with 90000 original miles. The last time it was on the road was three years ago and it's been sitting ever since. I got it running last summer but even though it's covered, mice got under the hood and who knows what else. It needs fan clutch, heater core and the brakes need to be bled but I don't have time to work on it.
I'm wondering If I could make more money selling the OEM Parts or selling it as is.
Thoughts anyone?

If you don't have time to work on it, you won't have time to part it out. You'd be starting with the easy parts and then end up sitting on half a car which you'd have to transport someplace to get rid of it.
Quick money at first maybe, but then it gets tough.
At least that's how it would go for me.
When I got my Trans Am it had been sitting somewhere for three years as well. The condition was ok where it counted, but there was still a lot to be done on the car. Fixed 'er up and am now happy I did so.
Maybe you'll find someone who's willing to take her off your hands and invest the time, money and elbow grease to get her on the road again, too.

Re: 1989 RS original owner sell or part out?
Selling a couple used parts is hard enough, parting out a whole car must be hell. You gotta spend gobs of time talking to people that waste your time and never show up. And then you're still stuck with an even more useless car that takes up the same space but is a lot harder to move because now it doesn't roll.
