People wanting resto-mods want the car "their way", and what you do won't be the way they want it. As far as the AC system. Can't say I totally disagree with Greg above with completely eliminating it and putting an non-AC box in the car and change the controls to no AC. The way it is now, it presents a hacked-up, incomplete car with a major option, and a desirable one, inoperative and representing a major expense to fix. It's a deal breaker for many potential buyers. You have a nice car there, with major components missing under the hood. Please don't take this the wrong way but if you want to move on to your Chevelle and other projects, consider being a little flexible with the selling price and get on with life. If you were asking 20K, and you had a solid offer of 19K, is it really worth all this possible extra work for 5% discount?

Well, never said I hated the car, just happen to like the 69 body style a bit better. However, finding a 69 with all the orig sheetmetal like my car has for a similar price looks to be impossible. If I were to resto mod this 72, it would never go up for sale, as I don't see how one would ever get their money back. And I would not start on it until my Chevelle is completed.
