The owner may not want to sink a few more thousand dollars into it, but somebody else might if they can scoop it for under 1000.

Well
I brought it back from the dead last time.
Perseverance, a fair dose of swearing. Some reckless cutting and welding, and a short piece of used lawnmower blade. It was back on the road for months. Alas, the super cold got me! I came home from a week away. A week of the coldest temps in 30 years. I knew getting to to fire would be hard. It was single digits the morning I tried. It would crank, but not fire. Parking lot company brought a jump box. It would crank, but not fire. Even with ether. They got a bigger truck, with jumper cables.. crank, but not fire. Half an hour or so in... there was a big snap. Fearing the worst.. but hoping it was just a tooth on the flywheel. I had it towed home. It sat in the heated garage for a day. All kinds of clanging and banging, horrible sounds. Wont fire. She's done. I have a gentleman from here that got to me last time and asked for the grease system. I'm going to pull that for him, assuming his offer is worth my time, and the propane for the barn heat. I'd love for someone else to have it. Even if it's just above scrap value. Anyone still interested? Located in Minot Maine. I've got a big yard, and equipment to push it up on a trailer. Sad day.. but I'm finally giving up. JP

I hope another member can get it and use it as an "organ donor" for another car, or get it back on the road.

That's a shame to hear. Hopefully someone uses it for parts. I fear the ether destroyed it and you bent a rod.

Guys, I bought a car for 800 after a guy told me that's what he paid. I found out that he bought it off a guy from Charity Motors for 100.00. The bcar needs everything, so I am looking for donors. I know I need at least the following: five doors two fenders front patch panels for front floor would take the rest for good tail lights etc. Would like to get all doors that match and the ignition key as well. It's -2 and I'm running the purchasing dept right now until February 25, so I can't get away. I'd consider taking a week off in each place and bringing a 1.5 ton truck with 10' x 6.5' x 6.5' box truck to take apart whatever I can use and help you drag the rest to the junk yard-- you keep the money. Let me know what you think. If this had happened next year, I might be retired, lol.

This car is a touchstone for you in ways only you can really understand.It pays trubute to him ,the story youve just put forward is honorable in alot of ways and to let it go is not all that wrong.It will hopefully get the new owner you hope for ,it will be a good goodbye.

You’re 4hrs north of me. I wish doing something with this was a smart move for me. I have a 240D I already love and have no shortage of other projects keeping me busy.
Any pics? |

I don't want to just haul it to the scrapyard. But I don't want to plow snow around it for a couple months. I go away a week at a time. I've got a bit of a cold now.. So something's gotta get done by Jan 20th.
Worst case.. I'm pulling the grease gear, draining fluids, pulling the fuel tank (have to pull it, but it can be inside the car) and shoving it up onto the tilt trailer with the forks on the tractor. I know scrap will only be 3 or 400 bucks. It's got a busted tail light. I just don't want to part the car out. It will be enough work to do the above to get it to the scrap yard. JP
