I purchased a 77 Supreme Brougham to part out for another car I am working on. I bought it cheap enough that I could do OK selling the parts. The car had been sitting for years and looked ugly. Well when I went to get the car what I didn't know is the car runs and drives just fine. The two bad things are the carpet in the front is shot and it has the classic rust at the bottom of the opera windows. I cleaned up the car and it looks gretat from a distance. I am trying to decide if I am going to part the car or not! The rust is bad enough that I really don't want to deal with it. Please share your thoughts. I already have another 77 and a 68 that I am working on now.

 

Post pics.

 

I will tomorrow!

 

Here are the photos I promised yesterday. I am still trying to decide what to do with it? Right now my 68 is my focus and I am not doing anything real soon.

 

Wow I'm driving worse!

 

Looks good to me! Keep and drive, or sell....but please dont part out a decent driver!

I see no reason to part it out as it is a fairly decent car, the rust is minor, drive it and enjoy it.

 

Drive it! Make only the repairs that are needed to keep it on the road and safe. Fix it up real nice later.

My two cents

 

I'd drive it for awhile before using it for a parts car. Will it pass your state inspection and licensing?

On the flip side of this, it's your car now so you can pretty much do what you want with it regardless of what we suggest.

 

I voted sell as is whole if your not interested in it. Thats too nice to part. Looks like Arizona rust to me. If the door seams look as good as I can see in the picture definitely don't part her out. Is that the only bad spot on the car is the window area? These cars are starting to gain momentum in the collector market. That ones got an unusual interior too. I dont recall seeing that pattern before. Someone from the rust belt would love to have it unmolested. The rear bumper looks in tack too which you wont see in the salt belt. So IMO either drive it or sell it dont part it.

 

Way too nice to part out IMO. I can't see anything seriously wrong with it and if it runs and drives that's even more reason. If I saw that for sale on the side of the road here I'd buy it and have fun with it. It's even a decent color scheme.

 

Well it is still in tact. The last two cars I bought to part out I have ended up driving or selling. This car runs and drives fine, it needs a carpet and the dash panel with the radio is broken but I have one, as well as a grille. The interior isn't torn or really beat up. Now I need to get the parts for the other one again. ???? Well if I decide to sell it I will put it on the website for you guys first! By the way, I paid $500 for it and haven't done anything but put a battery in it!

 

$500....

 

keep it and drive it, wow $500, great price. I think I may still have pants that match the interior
