I offered a guy near me $800 for one with rusted brake lines and mismatched fenders and doors. He’s firm on his $1,300, said he’ll part it out for 3xs that now.

Part it out... to who? Like 10 people on the forum? There's maybe a couple dozen people in the whole country who are aggressively looking for parts for these things.
I know I'm one of them, and I snag deals on ebay all the time because there's little competition.
There's an 8 1/4 sure grip for sale on the forum and Facebook that no one has bought cheap.
Even in tractor green, I get complements, thumbs up, comments, etc., because no one sees these cars anymore. They're definitely rare in the Northeast.
But rare doesn't mean valuable.
Edit: Maybe there's a Volare guy who wants the floor pans and would pay top dollar for them... like a whole $200
I stayed a day longer to visit Mantorp Park with the kick off of Street Week, similar to drag week in the US, but mostly with old cars.
What an event.
All pictures (it escalated, again - more than 1600 of Västeras and further 110 of Mantorp), all available in the gallery.

Who needs Speedbastard chinese intakes when you can get factory 4 barrels for $20 each
Comes with a free hernia during installation.

There are a few people around interested in parts but shipping ends up being the killer especially for intakes and axles but even smaller parts. I still need to finish a deal with someone here that I've been dragging on too long. But yeah the people who think they'll make a lot of money parting out a stock 2bbl car are dreaming.

If someone gets a hernia from a cast iron intake, then they shouldn't be playing with intakes to begin with

I look for parts every time I travel
That’s the 1-2 shift governor. This guy has to get ground down a bit of you want to be able to shift into 1st at any speed. While I have a lathe right behind me, I have no cutting tools for it (just demo equipment) so, no 1st gear downshifts for me at all speeds. While I don’t particularly want to be able to shift into first at all speeds, I’m still kinda bummed that I won’t be able to, lol
