I need to get rid of a vehicle as a part of an estate sale. Wondering where it would sell most easily, not interested in getting a ton of unserious inquiries and obviously it is not a traditional vehicle. It was an impulse buy (not by me), and now I need to try to get rid of it. No room in my garage for it. Gracias in advance. Will add pics.

I have a friend who has posted his T bucket on FB Marketplace on and off for 2 years without selling it and he would say the EXACT same thing you did: impulse purchase and now looking for the double coincidence of someone looking to make the same impulse purchase.

I wish I had more constructive help, I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to say 'you're not alone' (I understand, not by you, but you're dealing with it). If you don't want to deal with the tire kickers, is there somewhere nearby that will sell it on consignment? It'll cost a few bucks for the convenience.

ETA: at least yours is a good color. His is annoyingly neon lime green.

Seems like they used to have listings like that on Auto Trader quite often (I'm referring to those free magazines at grocery stores and other places). Are those still being published?

Cool car, BTW.

Take it to one of the car swap meets with a for sale on it. Somebody will bite. They are all over the state
So the greatest civilization is one where all citizens are equally armed and can only be persuaded, never forced. It removes force from the equation... and that's why carrying a gun is a civilized act.

What are you looking to get. Plenty on this site make stupid impulse decisions that could take it off your hands.

Are you around BCS?

Bluebonnet Streetrodders (on Facebook) is still pretty active and might have some tips. There are still classic car "cruise ins" that happen, but realistically your target audience is aging out fast.

I agree with stick a for sale sign on it and take it to the local cruise in.

My Dad purchased it 8-10 years ago for low 20s. I doubt it has had 50 miles put on it since he bought it. I took it to a mechanic to have some work on it this fall when I was in town, and the guy there said it would probably get $18-20K. I would probably be happy getting $15K and being done with it. The problem with taking it to car shows, etc., is that I live 1,000 miles away and my sisters are deathly afraid of driving it (perhaps for good reason). Going to have to ask them to get me all the particulars on it, have someone take good pictures of it, then put it on Bring a Trailer, from the sound of things. Thanks for everyone's suggestions.

Thank god don't have room for this because I would buy it just off of my impulse right now. Those cars are the best 1/8 mile cars out there. Can do burnouts for days. So fun.

Username checks out.

I'd do Bringatrailer and use their photography service.

I bought a truck from this dealer. He also does consignment, and has tons of unique stuff.

Honest guy, excellent transaction all the way around.
