Worth restoring from a collector's point of view.  From a business point of view, by the time you paid a pro for all of the work that would need to be done on most of them, you wouldn't turn a dime of profit.

dont be a wet blanket. that is so worth the effort to part out the cars. youve got an instant wrecking yard! you could not have a regular job for the next few months at least and earn a living- tax free (",)  i think i see at least one 356 there. instruments, door handles etc will be worth good money.

ChadTower:

Parting out is an entirely different issue. 

When I said "worth restoring" it referred to restoration, yes?  Is there something about "worth restoring" that includes "parting out"?

true. but you could say 'instead of restoring them, how about parting them out?' you are always so pessimistic. always getting stuck on a bad point instead of moving on. cheer up and look at the options. the sun is shining, fields are in bloom. oh, wait, you guys are still in winter...

on a related note, from the same site:

ive never heard of peter max, but his stuff looks kinda familiar:

now, since all corvettes have fibreglass bodies, many of these would definitely be worth restoring (",)

I could also point out that if a frog had wings he wouldn't bump his ass when he hops.  Would that help?  We were talking about restoring them.

this is true as well. you speak much truth. and now i will speak about parting them out. that is so worth the effort to part out the cars. youve got an instant wrecking yard! you could not have a regular job for the next few months at least and earn a living- tax free (",)  i think i see at least one 356 there. instruments, door handles etc will be worth good money.

although apparently this story is well over a month old and the cars are no doubt no longer there...

just looking through the pics. i see a lotus elan, a nash something, an old ambulance. cars like these (especially the lotus-fibreglass) just clean and sell. also they obviously arent stolen: 1) who steals 50 year old ambulances? 2) most of them still seem to have the number plates on...
