1988 Caprice cop car What do I do with it

Hey all a few days ago I posted that I was buying a 1984 caprice cop car that needed a tranny. Well I finally got the car and its actually a 1988 according to the tite. It needs a tranny a brake line and a bucket load of paint, it just has surface rust so it wont need a lot of bondo. My question is, Is this thing worth the time and money to restore or would I be better off just selling it as it is. The reason I bought it was to do my mom a favor and get it out of her driveway where it has been sitting for the last

4 years (dad never get rid of anything, hell it took him 4 years to get rid of this car) So now heres the question, is this car worh the time and money to make it run right. Thanks

I would not think an old Caprice is worth @#$%. There is a guy near me who must have 100-200+ old police cruisers for sale - does not look like he is rich to me.

Sell it.

Unfortunately, as the car sits, it has only *parts* value. If you throw a transmission and paint job at it, it will still have only minimal value, according to KBB. If it were mine, I'd sell it for whatever I could get and not waste any time or money on it. H

Unless you've got a competitive urge. Then a rebuilt tranny, screw the repaint and it'd be a killer at the demo derby or figure 8 track!
