85 Firebird (sort of) rolling chassis/parts

Hey all. I have an 85 Firebird that I need to move by THIS Saturday. I don't have any pics just yet, but will list everything to the best of my knowledge.

Needs hood (can include the one that some stupid teenager tried to drill and mount for hood pins, but he popped the welds on the under support piece and completely trashed the nose while trying to install the pins). It's the scoop hood and has been cut (badly) for guages. The hood is pretty much trash.

Needs fenders. The ones that were on there had begun rusting at the bottom mounts and had been bottomed out pretty good. They're still there (I think) but they'd only be useful for scrap...maybe.

Doors are PERFECT. Brown in color, still close smooth as you've ever seen. I can close them with a slight push of my pinky finger. Panels are for manual windows and locks and are tan in color. Come with glass.

Dash is straight and comes with a tach cluster.

Taillights are toasty, but I have a set of straight taillights to go in.

Back hatch is perfect but needs a new catch for the hold down. I believe it was that powered latch that brought the hatch down and latched it for you, but it's toasty. No defroster.

Steering column is toast. My friend needed to move the car around and took a hammer drill to the ignition cylinder. Wheel might be okay...don't remember but it wasn't in the greatest condition.

Quarter panels were beginning to rust on the surface. We did a quick sand and primer to keep them from getting worse.

Seats are all there, but the back seat took a lot of hits from the sun and will need recovered. Tan in color.

Carpet was toast (looked like a heater core leak) and was removed and burned.

Slight surface rust on driver's side pan. Sand and paint would cure problem forever.

I think we have some honeycomb rims that came with it that were off an older bird. Not sure. Tires have moved beyond maypops and have gone into full blown willpops and I think there's a permaflat on one of the back rims.

Tranny is still in there, it's an automatic and it ran before what is described in the next line happened.

There was a 350 crate motor in the car. The kid that built it all siliconed the head gaskets down. You can imagine what happened next. BOOOM! Blew a chunk out of the head and the block. Block is 100% bye-bye. One head is still good. I'll even throw that in if we can find it.

If I can't sell the whole friggin thing for $500 OR ANY REASONABLE OFFER I will be parting the doors, hatch with glass, interior pieces and seats, dash, clusters, taillights, and power light motors/assemblies later on here and ebay for their respective prices and the frame and anything that can't be sold will be sent to the shredder. pu-pu-pwease don't wet that happen.

If I can get enough interest in different parts I'll part it out anyway. The smaller things I could try to ship but don't have a lot of time so would prefer someone that wants to trailer the whole thing (I can get one or two or three guys to help me and whoever buys it to load it onto the trailer) or buy a lot of pieces and get it done. I was going to try to rebuild this thing with some power, but just ran out of time and really want a new diesel pickup.

E-mail me if interested at kylelogan(at)charter(dot)net Forgive the (at) and (dot).

P.S. I don't have the Throttle Body injection system...but I DO have the ECM. It's still hanging in the car (I think) as I wasn't very motivated to get it out. I believe the car to have started its life out as a 305.
