[vettestr]

I am no fan of cutting up a bumper car either BUT if wrong engine ,fender flares or used up body that is not used anyway why not? On the other hand GM made over 542,000 C3 -vettes and the smogger years, say 76,77 etc DRIVERS are only worth maybe 4K if a high miles car and used up condition. Selling all un-used body and parts will get your original cost back. Find an old project or blown engine or broken fenders and price is 1500 tops. All the chassis parts are replaced with exchange rebuilt parts so used up parts not a problem. Car can be built for 22K with a crate engine-tranny- painted going down the road on rebuilt chassis !!
