I'd probably keep the manual stuff and part the rest to the forum.

If the body and interior happen to be in good condition, why part it out? Get a used engine from a salvage yard to stick in it and you could resell it for a lot more than you would have in it. Or use it as a daily driver. Doesn't look too bad from the pictures.

Yup, that car would give you a good return parting out.

I'd have to be all over that.

He verified last night (late) by e-mail that he still has the car. I told him to consider it sold but I haven't heard anything back yet.

I looked at it during lunch and it seems to have lots of potential. There's a little rust on the rear wheel wells but the jack points look good. Paint should rub out nicely, no tears in the seats and relatively clean inside.

As soon as the guy gets back to me, it's mine.

Seems like you should seriously consider getting those lottery tickets.

I think the first thing you should do is put some Bundts on there.
And then, since you will have extra hubcaps you might want to send them to a state with a warmer climate for a car of Oriental-named decent........

DIT-TO!

Pick up a 617 turbo and drop it in there. I looked at that ad last week, and really wanted to jump on it, but my wife would KILL me if I even suggested buying another car. Hell, she'd scalp me if I brought home one I got for FREE...
