My new 245 (Parting out engine & trans. in Minneapolis) 200

I bought (barely bought, it was basically free) my second Brick today, 1986 245 DL, 162k. Blue inside and out. It was punked out by a teenager before he introduced it to a mailbox and mashed the pass. side front control arm and related suspension stuff (and headlight and fender). Arm rests are spray painted white and the dash was covered with a thick felt. Headliner gone, "racing" seat covers, orange and yellow flames up front. I got it for the almost new tires and alternator and other misc. parts like AMM, ECU, relays etc....

It still drives but with lots of scraping, overall it's beyond worthwhile repair (IMHO). The engine runs beautifully though, remarkably quieter and smoother than my '87 245. Automatic with OD, I presume it's in fine shape too. Anyone in Minneapolis want an engine or transmission or some other stuff? I want to move this car on to its final resting place sooner rather than later but would like to share useful and healthy parts with folks. I have it parked off the street, but it's in my regular parking space and I don't want to turn the driveway into a junkyard. I'm a renter, not an owner so I have to be respectful of my neighbors. I'd like to get rid of it within a month or so. I'm not looking to make cash here, just cover my (minimal) expenses and shre with other BB folk. Lemme know if yer interested.

Thanks all-
