Rob, I can understand your position. I have owned at least one of every vehicle offered by Shelby from both his facility in Whittier, CA. along with ones bearing his name built by Chrysler corp. I have found when trying to sell these car that the only ones with any real resale value to this date have been the '86 GLHS followed by the '89 CSX. I did well selling my truck for two reasons that I believe. One was the fact that it only has 72K miles on it and included some extra parts like a set of NOS wheels and the other was that is was truck number 2. As for the rest of the cars I had, '87 GLHS, CSX, Shelby Lancer and the '88 CSXT if you bought these cars cheap and put any money into them or paid a lot you were stuck with them so you better love it and keep it because selling it as a whole will cost you. I have killed a lot of very sorry shape Shelby and dodge built turbo cars over the years and recycled the parts back into the TD community. All the number cars were either rotted or crashed and I saved them from going to the salvage yard. There have been times I was called names and even kicked of the SDML three different occasions for having something to say back. Demand drives the prices and if you have a nice truck parting it out isn't really the way to go but selling it for a loss is no deal either. Bottom line, it's your truck to do with as you please so make your own choice in this matter. Try selling it locally or even in Hemmings motor news before resorting to removing the good stuff.

I would be better off parting the truck out! There was a truck that finished just before mine and it bid up to only $1750 dollars. It's got a lot of miles, but still a nice truck. There is a light bar on there now that is over $500 and it has 4 days to go. How does that compare? I don't know what to do, I want to sell my truck, but I'm not going to give it away. Maybe it should go "piece by piece". Anyone have any ideas?
