I picked this car up today. I'm having buyers remorse despite not paying a dime. Not sure what I can salvage. It does have an engine and tranny.

I was also offered another one that I'm contemplating picking up.

A lot of great parts on that car for guys doing resto's. It's a bit of work but I can see stuff I'd save/grab!!!

Bumpers, targa top, fog lights, hardware, glass and the list goes on and on. If you don't have the time or want to gut it I'm sure you could get a good group in your area to take it apart and save those parts.

You can never have too many parts. I can use the fog lights.

I sent you a pm, Rick.

In all seriousness there are some useable parts on the car and it's brother that I'll pick up in the next week or two. Now I just need to figure out how to get it off the trailer. The tires are all beyond repair and I lost my ramps anyway...

I hope to tear into the car in the next few weeks. Once I get a chance I'll give those who said they want a part first chance at it.

I ended up dropping the car at a storage spot I have and made a trip back there today. Adventure number one was getting the car with four flat tires off of the trailer. Once off the trailer I started poking around. I'm not sure what it has for an engine. Can anyone tell by the picture?
