Project Idea - Does it Make Sense?

[70_440-6Cuda]

Hey all, I have been kicking around the idea of another project besides my '70 V code resto.  As many here know I am working on getting my' 70 back to as close to original as possible.  That being said, I have a LOT of extra parts and am debating trying to find the right project to take the parts I have and throw something together for resale.

I have a complete 440-6, headers, complete exhaust, spare 489 case complete rear end and leaf springs, Wilwood front disc set up among other things.  Thinking if I can find a decent roller needing engine / trans I may recoup some cash.

I am not talking a restoration more a driver / restomod type car that still needs paint maybe... any thoughts, or better off just to sell off what I have - seems the sum of the parts are worth more than the whole sometimes....

Plus, I think I am using the "I can sell it for more when it's done" justification so I can by another Mopar......

It's a good idea but the problem is finding a decent roller for a decent price. Everyone thinks their junk is worth a fortune now!

  Trying to find a decent, solid, mostly complete roller for decent money would be a challenge.

I Think it might be easier to just sell the parts... than assemble another car.

I agree, sell the parts, with all the cost increases were seeing and the delays, the only people doing ok are the the ones who are selling the shell and parts.
I was going to do another project but when I added up all the major components, I decided against it

I thought as much, in looking at it, I just really wanted to have a '71 as well, so justify justify justify!!

I have noticed the asking price for project cars is steep for a lot of junk..

Probably make more sense if you found a roller 72-74 as they tend to be more "affordable"
Affordable being a relative term.

Sell the small shippable items on the forum(s)
Sell the big stuff at swap meets, Carlisle or pickup only.

Was actually working on this one, but life got im the way and I may have missed my chance... seemed like it would have worked in my favor possibly

Looks like a 7 1/4 rear in that one. Didn't think they put them in barracudas. 🤔 Says is a 318 originally.
