Sell the parts you haven't installed.
Park the car and buy a beater.

If you sell the car now you will lose your shirt.

+1 with dodgestang, you will make so much more money with parting out. Just list on craigslist or ebay. Save the car, I regretted selling my 66 after having to move from NJ to MI until I bought my 67. Now I'm moving from MI to CA and I'm going to get the car shipped.

Hey dude..good to see you again.

Everyone's right... if you sell it now, you're gonna take a thrashing. Short term, you'd be better off selling a few parts andthen renting one of those storage building stalls for $80/month.

As for longer term....Sorry to say, but that particularbody style just doesn't bring the bucks that the 'verts or FBs do. You'll never be able to get the money back out of it that you invest. So, if you really really love the car and want to keep it for the next 15+years, then suck it up and make do with a econobox till you can afford to mess with it again. If not...meaning if this is a temporary car on your way to something better, then consider stripping it down and selling all your add on parts on ebay or DFWStangs till you get the car down to a reasonable selling value (say 3K) and then move on.

why spend 20K on it and not enjoy it? Find a way to to keep it so you can enjoy it later on when the time is right and you can put money to it.

And find a girlfriend that doesn't empty your wallet, get one that pays for you! (mine does :P well, usually 50/50)

Us 69 stag peeps gotta stick together

A non-running '69 coupe in primer ... about $3K. Since you say that you'll get it running but it will still have the other problems (leaking rear, bunch of uninstalled parts, primered body), $5K.

My advice is to spend a little bit more money to make a lot more money (really, lose a lot less). Fix the water pump, put some new seals in the rear and get a cheap Maaco paint job so it looks good from at least 10 to 20 feet. You may get $10K if you go this route.

Probably not the news you want to hear, but like James said, the 69 and new coupes just don't seem to command near the money that the other body styles or 68 and older coupes do. It seems that everybody buying a 69/70 wants a Mach 1.

Good luck!

about not being able to get one down the road well i dont really agree with that. i think muscle cars have peaked in terms of value...soon everyone who grew up with them are going to start dying off and lets face it, not many younger people want to deal with an old car so i really dont see how they can go up much more. i think its going to maybe go up for a few more years then theyll start going down again. i could be wrong though but thats what im hoping...that way ill be able to afford them when i get older.
