...project car, in Durham NC. It's not that bad - as far as I know, all it /has/ to have is the freeze plug*. Also could do with the cooling fan coupler (have a proper new one I'll include, along with a bunch of other seals etc.). Has a salvage title, a big dent in the driver's door, and a cracked windshield. No A/C - components are missing, does have an R134 compressor but no plumbing. Heat is fine.
* Catch is that the freeze plug is behind the injection pump, and while you can fit screwdrivers and crowbars in I haven't found a way to get good enough grip on the plug to pull it out. I started to pull everything to try to reach it, but basically you have to tear all the accessories out just to remove the IP - so it is a very long process, and so far I haven't come up with the time, or money to pay someone else to do it. Exhaust manifold is off for the purchaser's convenience. It has exceeded my project timeline, i.e. it has been sitting in the driveway for >12 months (actually almost 18, i.e. since my younger son was born). Tires were new when I parked it and it's been moved a few times, so there's a chance they are still okay. Battery was recently replaced with a bad one from the 300D. Probably I'd be driving it if it had broken three months earlier, but ... such is life. :) I am thinking $800?
