Parting out a '68 1800, and was wondering if the rearend may be something that should be pulled and sold? I was thinking vintage racing if there was rules about using the drum brakes over discs.

I think it's the only year 1800 with the drum brakes and newer trailing arms. Probably need to include trailing arms and the body mounting points. I don't want to do all this work if it's not worth anything.

I have a 1800 disc setup for my 122, and I'm planning on welding on the mounting points (cut to include correct measurement placement):
