Anyone near Calgary looking for a project car?

This is sort of sudden but I thought I'd see if anyone is looking for a project car around here.  My girlfriend and me are planning to move in together in a few months and I have 3 cars to her 1 ;)  As hard as I try to justify keeping the Thunderbird I know that I have no legitimate use for it and probably never will, my 2006 Mustang has become my baby. 

At present it's sitting in my garage, I haven't run it in a year, it probably needs a new battery and I don't know if the fuel stabilizer is still holding (like I said this is on a whim, if someone actually wants it then I'll make sure it runs lol). 

It needs body work on the quarter panels but mechanically it's pretty sound.  I rebuilt the 302 to HO spec a few years ago with a Weiand Stealth Intake and I put a brand new Holley 650 DP on it shortly before I retired it.  I overhauled most of the brake system, new shocks, struts all around, electric fan conversion,  B&M Holeshot 2400 stall torque converter, I fabbed a dual snorkel air cleaner for it, HEI distributor with MSD wires, new rad...probably something else I can't remember off the top of my head, really the only thing I haven't rebuilt is the AOD trans.  Oh and it's got the rare FMX grill, I put it on a matter of weeks before retirement, the paint doesn't quite match but like I said, project.

I'd let it go cheap, my main concern is reclaiming the space and making sure my very first car goes to a good home instead of the crusher.  If anyone is interested let me know and I'll provide whatever info you want.  Thanks.

You may want to post on performance shop. That is a Alberta based Ford forum. http://www.performance-shop.com
