1978 motor parts. Anything of value?
Just put a deposit down on 2 non running parts cars '78 and '79. The '78 won't be coming home with me because it has no title so I am going to spend a few hours getting as much off of it as I can. I am going to get anything on the interior that is in good shape as well as the cluster and all the center console items.
Is there anything on the motor that is of value that wont take lots of time to remove? I don't know the value of all the CIS stuff. I plan on getting the radiator and viscous fan. I don't want to get into head removal etc...Picture of the engine bay is attached.
Also, if anyone is interested in a FREE early 5-spd trans and the motor, you will be welcome to it after I get my stuff. I will also take pictures and list anything remaining and the condition of the stuff.

I have not seen the cars in person yet. Buying sight unseen so I am not sure about the small stuff. However, I will get a second car as well that I am trailering home so there is a good chance I will have a good green wire.
Basically, both cars have very nice redone seats and the '78 has seats with cloth inserts that I will have redone in Pascha that I will put in my '84 Euro S. From the pictures I got, there are lots of other good parts that I will list for sale here. What doesn't sell will go to EBAY.
When I am done, the '79 car will be available as a roller for $200 with a 5-spd trans and the motor. It is non sunroof so it could be a good candidate for a race project if anyone is interested or just to sell for the remaining parts. I really don't want to go too deep into it pulling parts.

lots of parts in theory are worth a few $$$....its just a matter of condition and your effort to get them out...... The clutch assemblies with intermediate plates are an easy one....the 5 speeds themselves could be okay....especially if LSD.....
