My point being that your universe of buyers may be larger with stock location.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Geneva","serif";color:black'><br><br>>>>I think it all depends on the nature of the car. If the car is a true concours original example, then retaining an original setup is paramount. But if a car has already been subjected to a number of modifications/improvements (as Ian's car has), then the potential for superior performance would trump originality. If the cost delta is relatively little, you'd probably be better off going for a front-mounted system, as you could advertise that it blows COLD, rather than a stock system, where perhaps at best you could identify that it's THERE.<br><br>Too, you already have a Fluidyne radiator and sucker fans, so you're well on the way. Bobby Byars sells a drop-in setup consisting of a condensor to go in front of the Fluidyne radiator, plus all necessary hoses, dryer, etc. making it a pretty straightforward installation.<br><br>At the end of the day though, you have to ask yourself if the increased cost would be offset by a higher selling price. The answer is probably no. If profit is all you're after, you're probably better off selling the car as-is and letting the buyer sort it out. Or alternately, selling the car as-is, letting the buyer then pay for the additional A/C components himself, and perhaps you get the stuff installed and sorted out here before it goes to him.<br><br>I would make sure you have a deal in hand before you spend any money, however.<br><br>Mike</span><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
