Default Should I part out 98 Trans am or sell?

Would I get more money parting out the trans am? It needs interior pretty bad. I think I hear the beginning stages of a spun bearing. I have mods, rims, and raptor hood. I was thinking of pulling motor and rebuilding it. I don't have the money to rebuild and keep. I was gonna use some parting out money to use as motor rebuild money to resell rebuilt motor.

What do you all think?

The market being as shitty as it is right now.

Think about how long and how much work it would be to sell a bunch of part separate. People are gonna pull nickel and dime **** from you, and it wont reap money very quickly. I dont think it would be worth pulling the motor/rebuild/then sell.

Just pull off your wheels and hood(get some stockers at a junk yard) then sell it.

Good luck

That sounds like pretty good advice to me. Maybe take off any other expensive mods you may have done but other than that I would just sell the whole package to somebody looking for a project.
Good luck!

Sell it as a project car, and take off all of the extras and sell them to get more cash in your pocket.

Any idea what your going to want for the car without the extras? pm me and lmk! And a location of where the car is!
I'm in Indiana...

Thanks

James

I will try to find pics. I was just wondering if u all thought that parting may yield more cash. The car still runs very strong. I just hear a little ticking in the motor. I don't see shavings in the oil, but I just know it's about to spin a rod bearing.
