Should I sell the 78 Ford Courier 4x4 or not?

Well, I have been seriously thinking about selling my 1978 Ford Courier 4x4. It needs alot of work and basically is a good project truck for someone. I am needing money to work on my 79 Ford F150 4X4 and I am making a tough decision to sell this rare little truck or not.

Now I need your advice. What should I do?

How much should I sell it for?

I don't think there is a 78 Courier 4x4 on the planet that doesn't need a lot of work. They were lightly built and most were run hard.

I say sell it and work on the F150.

Plus, it seems you've already made up your mind, seeing as how you want the money to work on the F150. If the Courier were your top choice you'd be selling the 150 to get money.

Sell it to some one who can help that truck get better. It really should go to some one with the know how when it comes to restoring them.

In my opinion, if you like the courier, keep it. I have sold alot of projects over the years only to come back later and kick myself in the butt for doing it. If you need the cash to work on the f-150 and don't plan on fixing the courier, let it go and hope you don't see it after someone else restores it. That is what happened to me a couple times. I try to sell projects to people far away so that doesnt happen.lol
