'94 850 Turbo, Burned Up Engine 850

I'm looking for an opinion on a '94 850 Turbo. First the problem (and some advice). My wife was driving down the Interstate when the Oil light came on. Not knowing any better, she drove a bit and pulled off at the next gas station, 2-3 miles away. (Yes, the damage was done by now.) An oil cooling line that goes into the bottom of the radiator had a broken clip and the line fell off while she was driving, quickly blowing away all of the oil. (That was my advice: Check those lines.)

Anyway, the engine is junk now and I want to get rid of the car. The car was otherwise in pretty good shape, a couple of door dings, some rock chips on the front end and a broken odometer. Otherwise all worked. Does anyone have an idea of what a junkyard might offer for one of these? What do you think it might bring in the local paper or on eBay for parts only or a rebuild project? It is located near Jackson, Mississippi. Thanks!

- Mark
