Interest in 81?

Well, it looks like I am making a decision sell the FB, so I would like to check the interest in an 81 GS. The car has about 100K on the clock, clean title, and has aftermarket Weds wheels. Starts, idles very well, and the motor is strong. What do you guys think?

Thanks for the compliments guys. I love the look of the mesh wheels on our cars, and they are extremely lightweight as well, and strong due to the design.
I am selling this car that is in the photos. The clearcoat has come off in spots: they whiteish color you see is from a fresh coat of wax that gets trapped in the paint where there is no clearcoat.

Do you guys think it would be better to part out the car (wheels, motor/trans etc) or sell as a whole? I think it would be a shame to part her, however

Well, first of all if your selling her you need to post it in the for sale section, add a price, and list the mods or problems.

As for parting it out...... if it runs and has a straight body DON"T do it. It is hard enough to find a clean FB. Leave it on the street!
