what to do with a rusty classic
Ive tried adverstising it for sale....nothing, sat it infront of my house...nothing (not like anyone comes down my road anyways) so after 3 or so months i dunno what to do with the 67. My dads complaining about it being in the yard im moving in less than a month to be closer to my school. he says i can keep my 65 and 86 in the garage but doesnt want the 67 around since its useless and can hardly be moved. I mean its covered but just sitting in the yard i feel bad bc i always bad mouth those who lets classics sit without attention but atleast mines covered tho. But im not sure what i should do with it, my dad suggested just taking anything worth anything off and crushing it but i dont think i could let him do it. Any ideas how to sell?

Ebay? Recycler? Craigslist? It sounds like it's becoming more than one problem for you. Perhaps you're asking too much money?? How bad is the rust? As mentioned, does it run at all? engine? trans? frame damage?

How much were you looking to get out of it?
I am trying to restore my 67
I have been searching for factory fenders, and doors mainly, but I could consider driving up with a trailer and taking it off your hands.

No engine, tranny, ive spent a good amount of money on this rust bucket, i bought it as my first project (not knowing what i was getting myself into) new floors (right side not installed), cowl half completed have other side aswell, have right side frame rail and sailboat (needs welded in) doors, glass, needs trunk work, ill post some pictures. Ive spent quite amount of time on it...looking back on it now seems like i just wasted time and money on it. I have tons of parts for it in the basement, along with tons and i mean tons of 68 parts id be willing to throw in for a little more money.

Dude I gave away a 76 cobra 2 in better shape than that to the bone yard just to get rid of it.
Something to think about since you have other projects to work on.
You never get you cash back once they are @ the point were this one is.
Finish the floor pans and the other started work then you might break even.
Not being a smart azz just realistic.
You have a better chance of cutting up the good metal than selling the whole car.
If the doors and glass are good those would move quick.
dash any other good metal even the roof.
