    I have been trying to purchase this parts car for over a year now. Finally, the owner tells me that if I pull the engine and transmission, I can have what is left. Sounds like a great deal to me. I can even haul the car to my garage and bring the motor and transmission back. I really need those V-8 frame mounts for my other Maverick. I see quite a lot of salvagable parts. Also, the pitina on the car looks really cool. I believe that I will park it beside my garage and put dog dish hubcaps and beauty rings on it and use it for "yard art". Have to do a little work on that front bumper also.

    Cool! Lots of good parts on there! The engine isn't original to the car anyway, so no big loss there! It has the same interior as my 71 Grabber.
