1985 4x4.. what to do?

Alright guys, I have an 85 sitting in my backyard.. it's been there for about 7 months since the engine siezed on me. I was hoping to get a new engine and swap it in, but since then I've bought a new vehicle.. 2004 Jeep Rubicon... who knew they were actually a great vehicle. Anyway, should I just call a salvage yard to pick it up, sell it as is, or part the damn thing out? Any advise would be appreciated.

the beds rusted to crap.. has a 3 inch superlift springs... umm.. engine's siezed, dash is torn apart because I was going to reupolster it, not missing anything.. windshield leaks because I tried sealing it myself.. that's pretty much it. It's an extra cab 5-speed too with 4:10 in the axles.

That does not look too bad of shape... If I had time and some extra cash I would make you an offer.

Dude, it's worth the time and money to part it out... especially for the front axle. A salvage yard isn't going to give you anything for it.

What do you think would be a good asking price if I was to sell it whole?

You think I would have better results selling on this forum, or should I sell it locally?

Yup...

Throw it up for sale on here and locally, I am sure you would get something for it. Some $$ is better than nothing.
