[FC] Many Thanks

The shell will go to his property and probably just sit and rust away like the other 7-8 greenbriers he has there.  He picks the parts off as needed until he finally pulls everything off the body and sends the shell to the scrapyard.  He usually makes annual trips to Clark's with cores and parts.  I have no need for the motor or tranny (knock on wood), and don't want to take all the value out of it (or he probably won't want to come and tow it away for me!)  My local junk yards will not take it without a title. I was surprised to see the reflectors (which were in poor condition) go for $30 right away.  Go figure.

Just from my experience, you cannot tell what will sell on e-bay and what
will not.....but I have always been amazed on what I have sold and
sometimes the amount it sold for.
Now if you have another FC, what is your friend going to do with this shell?
If it was me, I would save the steering parts, especially the boomerang,
and the rear axels with bearings for spares. A lot of people are looking
for side doors, if they are good. I think the regulators may be worth
pulling. Listing items on e-bay is relatively inexpensive, go for it.

Thanks to all who recently responded to my emails.

I got the rear bumper off without a hitch.

I ordered #51 jets for my carbs rather than using the 48s.

Still havn't figured out my no spark situation.

Now, I am basically stripping some parts off this Greenbrier to get some =
of my money out of it before I give the shell and engine to a friend.  I =
pulled the optional reflectors, rear ash trays, and window cranks/door =
handles and threw them on ebay(it is the deluxe interior).  Would it be =
worth pulling all the window regulators due to the longer shafts of the =
deluxe interior?  Will I get a price that is worth my time removing?  =
Will the windows need to be removed to get them, or if the windows do =
not need removed, will they stay "rolled" up? =20

What about the chrome on the door panels?  The panels are basically =
shot, although a few could be saved, but I could always pull the chrome =
off them.

The arm rests and sunvisors are already long gone.

Anything else I should grab?

Any interest in buying the shell/motor?  It is in Columbus, OH.  Body =
has some rust, but not to bad not to be saved.  Several layers of bad =
paint.  Motor "almost running," PG supposedly rebuilt 5K miles ago.  =
Maybe $150?  It has tires that hold air.  No title.

Thanks,
Joe
