    the curb weight is 1,500 pounds. about $140 bucks here for just the car. not worth it IMO. but if it was me, and it runs, id buy it for $200, put it on craigs and sell it for $500

    might be a little more if you take apart the WHOLE thing. Sell parts to car parts on craigslist. or tell people to take the part they want off and charge them for that part. If your looking to make any profit, that would be the way!

    Hey good doing your homework Benny. Keep an eye on those dates though. This guy was the classic ask a question, get an answer, and disappear lurker. Wonder if there is a way to close these types of threads or move them to a not relevant section all there own?

    That's OK Benny, one day a new member might come on the forum and read your post and make some extra money by doing what you pionted out. It's good that you went back and read the old post.
