Throwing in the towel!
 

My dad and I have been working on our dream car, a 55 Chevy Belair for over three years now. This car has a ton of money invested and could be a cover car in any pro touring mag when finished. I will include a couple links where you can view the car if you would like in its current state. We have decided to throw in the towel as the price of this build has gotten a little out of control. I am wondering if there is suggestions for a good place to market a project like this?

Here is a link to the motor that Tom Nelson built for us:

That is a nice looking project. Good luck with the sale. It should not be hard to sell once you find the right guy. Just finding that right guy for an unfinished project can be tough. Hot Rod Hotline has projects that have sold signs, so maybe there. The Goodguys Gazette might also be another good spot.

Good luck

how much ?

We are at the point where there has been to much money spent on the car and there is still alot left to finish it the way we invision it. We are true car enthusiats but this car has beaten us up!! I think it is better that we sell it and move on! The car has almost everything it needs to be finished except for glass. We have a full Caddilac interior with heated and cooled seats and very high end leather and carpet. Almost everything is there. Its not that we don't have the money we are just tired of throwing it away! When this car is all said and done if we finished it there would be over 300K in it and be worth 150-200k maybe.... Better to cut our losses now...

Thanks for your comments,

Kenny I sent you a pm.

PM sent

I didn't get your pm. Pleae resend it.

That rotex charged engine is super nice!! :bow:

You might get more return on investment if you finish it.
Not sure what project car like this will bring, but its hard to get top dollar for a project.

I agree just not sure I want to find out. I am not sure what it will bring either but I have to start somewhere. I guess I will toss it up on Hot rod Hotline and maybe flebay.
