I bought this car this summer, even though I knew it was more project than I wanted. The PO had lost his job and really needed to sell it. I have since bought a couple cars in much better shape, and am trying to decide what do with it.

It is a '70 1.7L with a single carb, and it has a good title (Yes, I know it has 75/76 bumpers on it). I have a use for the engine and tranny. The car needs hell hole work, a passenger side motor mount, and new pans (although they aren't terrible and could probably be patched in a pinch). The rear trunk is in pretty good shape, and the front trunk is great. The car is missing a lot of little parts here and there, mostly related to the interior. But, overall, it isn't too bad.

Anyhow, it is time to either sell it or part it out. It is taking up space that I need to utilize. I hate to part any of them out. But, since it is a '70, with a good title, it particularly seems wrong. Thoughts?
