Now that I can see the pictures and the body damage on this SLC, I agree it makes a great parts car. It looks like it has clear back glass which has gotten very hard to find.

The valve covers look a little far apart for a m116 3.5, which would be cool due to at least th higher compression wads that can bolt onto a 4.5. But I think it plus be even cooler if it turns out to have a euro 4.5 motor. Those are nearly as powerful as the 5.6. If the car is a 3.5, it should have a desirable 3.46 differential, and if a 4.5 should have anti-squat rear suspension, also probably desirable. I see a goldmine if parts in that SLC. It does appear too far gone to restore, which is a shame, but I’m smelling about $4000 of pretty easy-selling parts on that thing. I hope you’ve gotta time and space to part it out and pick it pretty clean before it gets crushed.
