    Should I buy an 87 Shelby Z parts car

    Local guy has an 87 Daytona he's selling as a parts car, I was going to buy it for the 555 to use in my GLHT
    After some discussion via email, he finally reveals the transmission has been removed and sold, but he still is ASKING $500
    I told him I don't have any reason to get the car, other than keeping it from becoming pop cans
    I didn't ask the condition of the engine or why it is parked/being parted.
    Obviously it has the 2 piece intake, forged crank/rods, rad/IC, wiring harness, brakes, ect.
    He sent me a ton of pics, car looks fairly clean
    I was going to offer him $300 and that's it.
    What's scrap price going for now?

    $300 is a good deal.
    Complete TII engines are tough to find these days.

    If you can get it for $300, you can make half that back with the intake manifold.

    I'd be interested in parts if you can buy the car.

    Well I offered him $300
    With a foot + of snow it's probably going to be a challenge to dolly it out.
    If he doesn't take it I guess we'll be drinking out of it later

    Crap
    Guy just replied and said he'd take it
    Now I have to get this pile home.
    The pics he sent me did show 3 turbos in the back seat, not sure what that's about

    PM me after you pick it up, I need a slew of parts. I have a 555 that I'm pulling out of the car soon, it has a crack in the bellhousing but works fine.

    So I'm driving there and this guy calls me and says we may want to reschedule, the car is parked at a rapair shop and someone parked a car behind it
    Mind you I'm 10 minutes from the place
    He said its unlocked and he thinks he can move it so I continue on
    When I get there he said lets push it out of the way
    I walk back to the Daytona and it has 2 flat tires
    He told me on the phone it's ready to roll on the dolly and go
    We had no way to pump the tires up so I pulled the plug
    Needless to say I didnt leave happy
    If he even has the balls to call me back I'm going to tell him the price is $250 now
    We'll see
