This forum is for cars that run, or at least are close to running. This isn't for parting out complete cars.

Confusing CraigsList post... apparently the owner only wants $300, but it's not clear to me if that's for one car, or both. Either way, it may be a good deal. No title for the driveable car, but the guy indicates it can be gotten fairly easily.

Only 177K miles on the '86 driver (photo shows 196K, but the owner claims that's the odometer he got out of the parts car). Driver also has a sunroof. But it needs manual tranny work because the guy apparently tried swapping but never finished the job, so now the vehicle is just rear-wheel-drive. Like I said, it's a confusing post.

Lots of pics, though.

Buyer beware - check with your local DMV before assuming you can get a title easily. Over the years I've thought about buying title-less cars but have been discouraged by the DMV each time due to extensive seller involvement in getting a title. Once they have your deaux they can be very reluctant to help. Maybe Oregon laws are different. But if he wants $300 for everything this looks like a great deal just for the parts.
It's a scientific fact that in a twin engine aircraft, when one engine fails there is always enough power in the remaining engine to make it all the way to the crash site.
