If you don't get them sold, I would buy the turbines off one before you junk 'em.

I'm looking for a 4 eye 2.3L Cat, so if anyone wants to go in halves, let me know.  I'm too far away to do it myself.  Plus I have a good AOD from a floor shift 5.0L '87 Tbird.

Well looks like I call the junkyard tomorrow then. :(  I have had more people tell me they want these cars and then back out at the last minute than I can really understand. I hate to see them crushed but that's the way it goes I guess.

We can't save them all, even though it would be nice

Do the cars have to be gone by Saturday or just paid for  by Saturday and picked up as soon as the buyer can get them ?
Fox-less at the moment

You can't find someone to buy them on Craigs List? If you weren't so far away, I'd be after the 88. Wife would be pissed, but you gotta do what you gotta do.....

Why the rush? Is it money? We could take up a collection! I hate to see two nice cars get sped... Man, I am in Ohio, but I am broke as a joke. I wish I could save them both!!!

I apologise for not being more clear. I need to have the money by Saturday night. My flight for Australia is booked for early Monday morning and I will be staying with family in Colubus on Sunday. The cars can be picked up at your convenience but I need to get the deal done by saturday. If you want the cars call me I can work things out. I have had a lot of people tell me they were definately going to buy them then back out at the last minute. One today even went as far as to tell me he was going to get a sandwhich and some gas and never came back.
 
So, if someone wants one and someone else wants the other I'll do $350 each but they have to be sold by Saturday.
