The question is what to offer him for it. He's asking $5K but he knows that's ridiculous...........he fully understands the cost of a new engine...........the vehicle was "diagnosed" by the dealer.

I'm inclined to offer him $1200. due to the excellent condition of the body. He'll take it if nobody else is interested. I don't think he can get that much in scrap value.
Whenever I have room in the garage I hope to buy a very nice shape 90-91 126 with a bad engine.

If it were me and I had the room, I'd do it for $800-1200. I think you are about right with a $1200 offer. The one that Greg bought was pretty nice as well but the head was for sure blown and the owner was only asking $1500 to begin with.
