You have hit on one key ingredient to building a low buck car........use a donor, preferably a running one. It is just that the one you are mentioning has big parts like the engine, trans, rear axle, making it a little too heavy duty for an A frame. It would work, but not as well as some lighter components.

I agree, if it is clean and running, sell it. 460 engines are starting to dry up somewhat, so some guys (me) would buy it from you just for the engine and tranny. Or, they make great drivers stock, if you don't mind the gas milage. Turn the money into some usable parts for your build, or to buy a lighter donor, like a mid '70's mid size Ford or Chevy, and use those parts.

I really like the concept of driving one car up and stripping all the usable parts off and then selling the leftovers like fenders, etc to someone fixing up their driver. You can get so many useful parts this way.

Keep after it, you'll get there.
