Is this parts car worth anything? 200 1990

FYI: Yes, the wiring harness issues were fixed by mid-1988 but the 1990 has a different harness than his current vehicle.

I'd take it. Hey, you may even own a 89-93 somewhere down the line and then a lot of the parts are going to become very useful. As far as having the engine die from lack of oil, I wouldn't worry too much about damage to other components. Most engines seem to contain themselves pretty well during a catastrophic failure. Depending on how it actually seized up, it may or may not have put some serious stress on the transmission/drivetrain/differential. But either way, I've seen a lot of people swap engines into vehicles that seized up their original engine. -I'm driving one of them right now (my '87 245) and haven't found any problems that I would suspect would have been caused when the first one seized.

God bless, and congradulations on finding such a nice opportunity.
Fitz Fitzgerald.
