Bidding's up to $237.06 at this point. Even with the "funky" steering wheel and questionable condition I'm sure it's worth that much.

BTW, when I first saw the pics, I didn't look too closely and thought it just had a cover on the steering wheel.

The air filter is not even attached to the engine, it's just sitting there. It also has the wrong non-turbo radiator and no expansion tank. I bet you that this is not a 1983 and/or not the original engine.

The scrap yard here is paying $300 for 123s. Could be more now. That was 6 months ago when I last checked.

Cheers,
