Although I'm appreciative of the people that do part out these cars and the parts they provide it's also worth remembering that there really aren't that many left. I shudder to think that people are plucking rebuildable ones off the road to make a few quick bucks in parts on ebay but I'm sure that some probably are. If it's at all worth saving then keep it around. 'Too far gone' is a relative term depending on skills, determination, available time, lack of common sense, etc. Who knows, they may be worth something one day;)
