I wouldn't try parting it out. The cream will sell fast and then you will be stuck. You might try parting it out as lots, whereby you have to receive enough interest to get to your reserve. But if it's worth $5000 as parts after shipping costs then someone may buy it for that.

Someone we all know bought a whole car for the fender lights and then had a parts car he couldn't sell.

If you want I can run a leed in for you in a well known publication:

"LEED: 1941 Packard 160 sedan. Solid with straight sheet metal. Missing right front parking light lense, and needs new front bumper. Multi-tone paint and interior options. Needs complete restoration. Documented first production 160 accepted by CCCA. $5000 firm."

However, this is contingent on the car being in one piece like the pictures.

And incidentally: 4.13% translates to $7500 which means $2500 shipping.
