Good to know. I had thought about CL, but didn't know how much to ask for the seized thing.

Does anyone know whether Jasper or someone would buy it? How 'bout any guesses on the scrap value?

There are always guys looking for parts. I sold one of mine for $300 or was it $200? He drove 3 hours. Turns out he was looking for a good head. (Get your mind out of the gutter.)

For my other 3VZ, if nobody takes it, I might just rebuild it, or let my BIL's shop take it. They have a scrapper that comes around every week and pays $50 for it.

Also, you may be able to donate it to a local high school auto shop and take a tax deduction for WAY more than its worth.

A win-win

I wish i would have though it this instead of selling mine as Obama is bending me over this year!!
