If those numbers are accurate looks like it will be worth it to part out. Obviously the 97 kit is worth more to someone with a black sc. On the other hand, you can get everything new for around $1500 unpainted. Also, you would have to package those big items unless you find someone to sell it to "On top of old smoky".

I think I misunderstood your post OLT. Did you mean take off the '97 conversion, wheels, and lights, and then sell your car whole after putting relevant stock part back on?
If that's the case, then that would be much more whorthwhile. I thought you meant literally take the whole car apart and sell it!

So I still stick with selling the car outright.

you might be able to get $5,000 for the color changing needles alone lol. If you are looking to make $5,000 from the sale of your car I think you can do that with little trouble. that's your best bet

I am pretty sure this is still pointing toward selling outright.

Even if you sell the wheels and body kit, you still would be cutting it close to your bottom line for selling it outright. And, now, having sent the car into muck of well-taken-care-of SC400s with 200k+ miles, it is going to be more difficult to sell the car.

Well i've gotten a few here's and there's so come summer I can mow it over again if it's time to kill a 6 yr project. I've had this thing so long I should have it framed and hang it on the garage wall.

I was looking at the dropping price of Sc's and trying to decide if it might be worth more in parts than as a whole. This is not going to happen any time soon, but by summer I am likely going to replace it with a 98+ since I have had this one for 6 yrs. I'm trying to make a game plan for the switch.

It would be a damn shame to part out such a beautiful car. It looks new!
And it is low mileage - only 200K. It's barely broken in yet.
PLEASE keep it together.
