    I found this old girl resting at my friend's farm. Been parked since 1981 so it died young. Scrap is paying too much now to hang on to it, but I thought I would put it here for interest sake.

    Pull that engine w/all brackets and accessories.
    You should also be able to sell the rims if they are not rusted....I think someone here was just looking for a set.

    Do you think there is any worth in a blown 455?

    455 engines are getting hard to find....even if it is a core engine...it is worth $300-350.

    If the car has a tilt column, another good sale item.
    Check for a p.trunk......easy sale.

    What condition is the glove box liner and visors in? If decent, how much to 32304?

    Thanks for all your input. I'm gone for a couple of days so the car has at least that amount of reprieve, so when I get back I might list it in the parts section.

    Side door mouldings (horiz rub strips) worthy of saving if the rubber insert is still inplace. Also, I spy a decent passenger side mirror: manual or remote, worhy of keeping/selling.

    Well there seems to be a lot more interest in this car than I anticipated. I will be listing it in parts for sale.

    I'd love to have the rims, Hell I'd pay CA$H for the whole car, would be a fun restoration project. I like it because its different.

    The best before date on this car expired a couple of decades ago. It's too bad because it was a low mileage car (58,000). I remember when it was parked there 30 years ago, it was really nice.
