That’s a lot of work. Like the color
Years worth. Not everyone knows it but i'm 100% disabled, 100% combat connected, with TBI, and PTSD. I cannot learn new things. I only can do stuff I already knew pre TBI. So, to assemble the trans I had the help of Tom Hand. Look him up. He's the #1 Mopar 727 guy on Earth. He walked me through everything step by step over several weeks. The engine assembly I mostly knew but got help from the shop who did the machine work for me, RPM Racing Engines. The sheet metal work I already knew mostly and got help from some pals on several Rat Rod/ Custom sites.
The Painting I had to read up and do what I had read on that day. Then, the next day, start over and read up again and continue. It took me a long time...
It may not be concours level but it's pretty good considering my limitations. I wish I could finish it but I cannot. I need it gone.

Make me a good offer and we will see. The body has new metal in places and the bodywork is good. Three coats of grey epoxy over a bare body. PPG paint, Copper Metallic. I would be willing to set the motor in the bay with the trans. and place all else in the car for shipping. Has new door and glass seals. front and back windshield rubber. If I sold the motor/ trans separately would get 3-4000, the front end revolving headlights being restored would bring big dollars, Tires are brand new, wheels are brand new, 3" exhaust, all the glass is tinted and in good nick, I mean parting it out would get good bucks. New parts all over it.
 
I love the job you did grafting in the 66 T-bird
taillights into the body! It looks terrific, and you should be proud of the job YOU did on your car! Stay well, and good luck selling it.
I am proud of it, it was a real bear to figure out and make happen.
 
Like I said, I would call three transport companies and ask that question to get an average. It will cost more because it has to be pushed onto and off the transport.
