380 SL
restoring one out of 3

I have 3 1982 380 sl, one i am restoring, mostly done, the other 2 I kept in case I needed parts, did not need much so now I want either sell them or part them out. What would be the best course of action?
Also have a 1981 380 SLC,top shape...posted on Ebay and hardly got 2K $ offers! Also would like to sell it!
Southern California cars, rust free, paint faded.

1981 380 SLC (R107)
would you consider cutting out body sections on the cars you are parting-out? I just got mine 380 SLC today, but it has some rust in the usual places. If you are amenable, I can send some pictures of the areas in question once I start the tear down.

Thanks
