I have 2 Mustangs. I have a 66 Mustang coupe that I have owned since 1993 and that it'd take an army of undead to begin to lift my finger for parting with it. I also have a 68 Mustang that I am not attached to.

My eventual goal is to rebuild/modify the 66 Mustang to how I want it and sell off the 68 Mustang. Problem is that the 68 Mustang is in piece right now because I decided to take it apart and use it as "practice" to learn on what not to do/or to do on my 66 Mustang.

Question is do I fix up the 68 to sell, or just sell it?

Are you needing to get rid of it or just wanting to get it out of the way? You never know when you might need to practice something else. If you want to sell it I guess it would depend on how much money and time it would take to fix it vs how much you could get for it when it is fixed up

Sell it.

When you "restore" or fix up something it is rare to get your money back out of it, and it is distracting you from working on your '66.

If your wanting to do any modifing PLEASE do it on the 68 as The 66 is worth more if its stays more on the stock side.
