Worth scrap price as is. Check for a used tranny and it should give you
a payback. As is, you may find someone willing to take on the project
and give you a few hundred.

Your biased opinion aside,there is no such thing as a mint car with
110,000 miles.


I will respectfully dissagree. I've seen cars in mint condition with
250,000 KM - you could put them on the showroom floor and be hard
pressed to tell it from a car that had never been sold - and not
burning ANY oil between changes - with perfect compression and oil
pressure. What high standard do you have for "mint" condition?

Does it have to excede Hagerty's #2 condition??? (Excellent not
concours) Most cars over the last 40 years aren't "concours" from the
factory or show-room floor.
With a tranny working you can get 5-7 thou depending on model and
options. Check out the price to have it rebuilt.
