What to do with my 142?

[Russ]

Hello All
I have a 1973 Volvo 142. Mechanically it is in pretty good shape.
The body is rusting away faster than I can patch it. I don't really
know what to do with it. I've driven this car steadily for five years
and it has only ever broken down once.

I've reached the point where throwing money at it seems senseless. Do
I donate it to charity? Do I part it out? Do I sell it?

What are your thoughts?
Regards
Russ

Try to sell it on craigslist.

If that fails, part it out, again through craigslist.

If it's a 142E with original fuel injection, it's considered a
Classic. You should be able to find a collector to buy it cheap as long
as it can be fixed or used for lots of parts.
