Hate to see it get parted, but the chances of it ever becoming a true GT again and slim. Esp. considering the salvage title. Based on what your said, I would have bought it to for parts too.
You asked who needs parts, so... I'll wait until you start a proper FS thread when you're ready.
Were you already on this or did this RL thread tip you off?

Whether it ends up as a parts car or a revived 'GT', it's now in good hands. I wish you luck w/this, Kevin.
What kills me is that this would have been the perfect donor for the front-end 'totaled' '89 GT a few years back (thread). You remember that one. Take a look at Chuck Z's post #28 for pics.
35k & mint until the front-end hit. Possible frame tweak, engine likely fine; trans. fine; everything windshield back unaffected. Just in need of a front end. Ended up going to a dismantler in PA for $4k
Gio..you mentioned Linen seats...this black '89 GT had a perfect Linen interior.
Sometimes the stars just don't align....

Hello Kevin-
I really envy your find. Sometimes you just have to be at the right place at the right time.
Anyway, I have a 91GT motor from an 81K car. I want $5,500 for it.
It comes with ALL accessories (one a/c hose was pirated). I also have a Devek radiator, twin fans with shroud, oil cooler, belhousing with clutch and pressure plate, factory exhaust, plus Motorsports x-pipe and RMB, Motorsports springs and a bunch of other take offs.
I'm keeping a lot it for another car I'm building, but will let most anything go for the right price.
(NEW INFO): The additional parts will only be sold after the engine is sold.
Good luck with whatever you do with the car.

Any interest in this engine, it is less the pass side head (MIA). I will probably pull the other head and see if it spins tomorrow and inspect it thoroughly.

The engine stamp says m28/47 the last 4 of the vin is 1217. It carries the correct GT option codes for the lsd, the suspension and the Gt denotation. I had it all written down at the shop, but I am home now and don't feel like running back out. The engine is missing the p-side head, but oddly enough the cams are sitting in the V under all the accessories that were removed. So I have all 4 GT cams as far as the #'s on them go.

I would say so JP. Now what to do with it? I am torn whether to sell it or part it. It's a low mile car and the first one Ive seen in sometime with such a perfect interior. The purchase end was horrible though man. The guy said I was the first in line but then proceeds to make me negotiate with the 2nd 3rd and 4th guy in line later on. I played along till 1400.00 and then I said he should honor his advertisement and do the right thing and he came around. What do you think I should do with this thing?

I have a fresh engine to put in it, but you are about as far away as can be from me.
