70 supreme holiday coupe what to do with it?


I have a 70 cutlass supreme holiday coupe and don't know what I should do. I bought it with hopes of driving it, but after buying it, I lost interest in it due to money and health reasons. It has a 69 350 rocket motor with a 4bbl edelbrock and it runs. Needs bodywork and interior assembled. Anyone wanna give me any input, I would love to hear from you.
Thanks,
Tim

Pics would help. Sell as a project would be the easiest for you. Sell as parts would get more money(maybe?) with more headaches and more time.

You sure it's registered as a 71? The whole front clip on that car and bumper are 1970. Look at the VIN. IF it's a 1971 it should start out 342571..... If it's 1970 it will start 342570.....I think if you're not motivated to work on the car, sell it for what you paid and let the next owner do the work they feel is necessary. Otherwise, just drive the heck out of it and enjoy.

The car was last registered in 07. It does start with 342570 but it says 71 olds.

The vehicle registration is wrong. The car is a 1970 model. VIN doesn't lie.

Money seems to come and go throughout our life. Some good years , some not so good. Sorry to hear about your health concerns. Decisions are very difficult to make at times, If you have lost interest in the car than as others mentioned, sell it for what you paid . You may find you have enough for a decent turn key runner . May not be an early 70 olds but something that will have you cruisin' in by spring or early summer.
Lots of members here with early 70's that will lead you in the rite direction in any event.

Wishing you all the best with your health and finances in 2019!
