    What’s person suppose to do?

    Long story short I did not pull my 69s off the track soon enough. It got customized by an Alfa as seen here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pX8r5ZyHvGw (Think you don’t need a Hans?). So here is my dilemma. It’s a numbers matching car per CoA. The engine is the last 69S listed in the technical manuals it was born on 7/30/ 1969. The engine is not in the car it’s at my house as is the original transmission. (Never used as a track engine) but is in pieces. I’m not going to stop racing and have a 72 T that I can put all the track stuff on. I have most of the original pieces front struts, torsion bars, sway bars, heads, pistons, Mechanical injection, front oil cooler, etc. from the 69 except for the windshield . Car is repairable but to get it back on the track will take me too much time. So the issue is to try and sell it with the engine and transmission or I can part it out probably get more dollars for it. So should I offer it all together or just part it out?????

    First, glad you got through that incident in one piece! Quite a shot you took. Regards your question, I think there's too much value as a matching numbers project. Don't part it out.

    Good luck with the sale and future racing endeavors.

    Wow is right.
    That last split second is sheer terror, right before you know the inevitable is coming. Glad you're ok.

    Saw that one coming; it looked like you tried too many times to "fix" your original oversteer dilemma.
    Are you still doing track events?

    The car is definitely worth more if sold complete. The best of luck to you.

    I think you mean it got customized by an Alfa, unless you were referring to the driver.
