All Small Six I May Be Leaving The L6 Game

[Crustang to Mustang]

Hi all. Not quite sure where to post this, but I'm sure the moderators can put it in the right place. I accidentally got my hands on an original '66 GT with buck tag and everything. I need not tell you why this car has become the priority and my L6 car has become the parts car. I don't really have the financial means, the space, or the time to build both. I am considering listing my L6 car, or what is left of it, on here. It will pretty much be a chassis with the 250ci engine and '72 C4 trans as well as the L6 suspension. I have a complete new floor pan, new rims, a brake rebuild kit (including new front drums, hubs, dust caps, and lug studs), an engine gasket kit, a rebuilt Autolite 1100, and a few other new parts. I only have pictures of the ugly side off things, but the quarter panels, roof and tail light panel are still solid. All I want to know is: Could this project be worth anything to anyone? Please know that I'm not looking for a buyer. I'm also not looking for specific numbers, I just want to know if I could sell it as a whole project, or if I just need to part it out.

The last batch of photos make it far more interesting than the ones showing the gravel drive through where the floor should be. It has air conditioning. If that works (has a charge and no leaks) I would think that’s a selling feature. The engine compartment doesn’t look terrible looks pretty good.

Does it run and if so, what are the issues?

I’m a glutton for punishment so if it were in my care I’d spend far too much money and time resurrecting it. Then again, if I had a legit GT, maybe not…

I would post that in Craig’s List or Facebook Marketplace as a project. If you have new floors, I’d photo those and the brake kit and everything else you have. Do a $xxxx amount OBO and hopefully someone comes along to take it off your hands.

Yeah, I'm usually not on here a lot so I kept forgetting to post the additional pictures.

The A/C doesn't work and it doesn't have a charge.

The engine ran pretty good but the idle needed to be adjusted and it blew out whiteish smoke from the tailpipe (we assumed that this was partially due to the old gasoline left in the tank). The alternator is bad but I have another on hand. When I took the valve cover off I noticed that at least one pushrod had been replaced, I don't know what other parts may have been replaced in the engine.

I was told that the transmission works but the shifter isn't synched and it needs a new pan gasket.

I inspected the spindles and bearings and they all seem fine. Of course, I didn't Magnaflux the spindles or anything but they appear to be in good shape.
