Hey everyone I need some advice on this 96 get convertible. There’s a bunch of mods done to it but I’m over trying to fix it. Cars been sitting for years but it has a ton of mods and new parts sitting in boxes to be installed. Would I be better off trying to part it out and sell the new parts instead of selling it as a project car with everything incl? Here's a short list of new in box parts I have:

Exedy Mach 400 stage 2 clutch-Mid 01 GT
LMR tan 94-04 mustang carpet #ACC-MBCPSAD-C
[td]OPR Convertible Top w/ Heated Glass - Sailcloth Saddle (94-04 Convertible)[/td]

Car starts but needs work to be functional:
Vacuum leak somewhere
New convertible top needs installed
Clutch needs installed (slips when you accelerate)
Paint job
speedometer corrected for 3.73 rear gears
new tires

I have a 2004 GT convertible I recently restored but is mostly stock. just debating on if I steal some of the upgrades done to this one and put it on the newer one with less miles even though the engine has been pretty much overhauled (10 yrs ago). I know If I put the money to fix this into the car I won't get what it'll cost out of it but I need this out of my driveway. Thx for any advice.

If you need it out of your driveway quickly I think that kinda answers your question.

How much did you pay for it? By that I mean, are you willing and able to take a potential loss on it if your purchase price plus costs to fix it is less than what they sell for on average.

At this point it's been so long it's not really a question, I'll be taking a loss but just looking if there's more value in parting it out or selling all together. $4k is the number I had in my head but not sure if that's reasonable or not for what's there. I can list off what I've done for upgrades if that helps but curious if I'm completely off base with my guesstimate or not?
 
$4k for a running/driving 96GT Convertible (assuming you get it running/driving) seems a little low to me, even in that condition. I would probably start at $7,500 and be open to negotiation. I also don't know allllll the ins and outs of the car so my estimation could be off as well. I feel like there's always a floor to pricing and $4k seems a little low.
 
Add up what you paid for the upgrade parts,cut that in half and add the $4000 and start there,sell as is,move on.
