Part out or sell as project?

One thing for sure. The quality of project cars is so so very poor now days. OK so I bought my first "muscle car" back in '85, a '68 442 that had migrated from Ca to Ks, really nice car ( for its age of 18 yrs old)/ for $1000, later traded it off for body shop owner for paint job on my inline trailer. Then in '86 came a perfect 71 Charger rt, no rust needed nothing, I over paid at $1500 ?? but was happy!! Ok so that was 30 yrs ago!!!!! ..... and then the list of mopars got really long.
Fast forward to today. People restore A bodies that back then hardly anyone would own if you gave it to them.. a slant or 318 !???? ha... I restore, drive them, love them, but 10-15 years ago I could still find pretty good 68-70 chargers, runners, bees, cheap enough. But if I restored it, I could hardly get my $ back out. I could buy it right, and sell it as a project and make a fair profit. I (and the buyer) was happy.
Point is this. People buy projects because: they love and can work on them, or they can't or do not want to spend the $ for a GOOD restored car. It can be hard to find a car that is in between a total project and restored. And a car restored 10-20 years ago with NO quality of work is nothing more than an overpriced project!!!!! I rather have an un untouched rusty project than come behind someone;'s really poor work. Lower quarter filler over rust? OK. I can just cut it all out like the filler was not there. That is not a problem, but, for example, the thing is, these ya hoo's think their car is sorta restored and NOT THAT BAD! and their idiot price reflects that. LOL
The main reason there are still mopar projects out there for people to buy is the A body. Otherwise everyone would be buying those 68-70 runners, and chargers, and e bodies!!!! and look what their asking prices would be!!!??????? LOL
