Need help in prices from old car people please

Simply scrap it.

Complete bodies bring 225.00 a ton here. (Ohio)

68 T-bird should be a two ton piece anyway.

Scrap a car that would sell in a day with a 2K price tag on it for $400 scrap weight?

People do that every day

To sell the whole thing on Ebay I have to the VIN and a bunch of other numbers, to sell parts I have to have part numbers,,, this is silly!

I think it's pretty cool

You don't have to ship it if you sell it on Ebay. Just specify it is for buyer collection only, as are most vehicles.

I sold a pretty bad Trans Am on Ebay and got $5000 for it, and the buyer drove 600 miles to get it.

Having done 32 show cars...I might have a working knowledge.
Did Darts, Barracuda's...A body Mopar stuff mainly. Only Ford was
a 1959.

Simply being old (1968) doesn't make it valuable.

Run a quick search for Thunderbird clubs. Can it posted that way?
Search history on e-bay? Was there a market?

Selling as scrap makes it gone in one quick pile. Dismateling for parts
takes time and effort. And there will be big greasy chuncks left, still needing
scraped.

**Went clear to lower Mississippi after a straight body once. Turned it over
in my driveway, unloading from the trailer.

I went through some of the parts and such on Ebay for that car and Rebel is right, I'll have to check prices on it, they were a lot more than I posted a starting price for!

good to hear you're taking some time to research. You never know! Hang in there and keep up the good search...even if it means actively searching out a buyer too. I like the idea of going to some tbird sites/message boards and looking around before you start advertising.

This is the best way to do it, in my opinion. My dad sold a '70 Cuda in 15 minutes when he listed it on a Mopar web site.
