Sell or part out?

[Jim2]

A year ago I made the decision to ditch a couple of my projects. Being in Canada put me at a disadvantage to attract buyers and I eventually succumbed to a broker who's offer was the best received (only had one other weak offer). One short hood and one SWB long hood involved.

Reflecting back now I see that I could have got more money by parting the cars, which surprises me since a matching number complete project should command a premium, I'd think. Marketing this volume of parts is not particularly attractive but I'm curious what the general consensus is now that more inventory is sitting around. Is a restoration project worth more as parts than as a whole?
