That's a different car.
THAT car may still be there, and if it is the guy *might* take 300 for parts.
My preference is to replace the block on the OTHER car and have a pretty nice 5spd turbo wagon to keep or sell, I'd rather not part it out.
Either way, if EITHER car gets parted out, it's going to require some figuring out how to get the bigger stuff back here.
Vik, I think I know what you're willing to chip in for the sedan if the hood is AL. Roj, what are you willing to pay for the tranny and associated parts if the other car gets parted and you can figure out what to do with all the parts IF I can find the tools and time to pull all that stuff.
This car is in Vancouver, right ? As far as getting the parts back to Calgary goes, you might be able to leave them with some friends of mine in Tswassen. I'm still waiting until I can go and get my 940 that I bought in Tacoma, WA so I can pick the parts up on my way home from Tacoma. Failing that, my Mom lives in Kelowna and the big parts can be left there if you can get them that far.
Apparently the bellhousings on '87 and newer 740s had provision for the crank position sensor and the '86 and later M46s on the 740s were P type so the tranny would be just what I want. Basically, I'd want everything off the car that I'd need to convert my 940 to a manual so the only other thing I'd need to do the conversion would be a flywheel from a '90 or '91 740 car w/ a manual tranny. I don't care if it's set up for a cable or hydraulic clutch. I'd need all of the parts that go with the clutch system in either case. I think I also need the entire driveshaft and the centre support bearing. See here:

How much would I be willing to pay ? Well, that's hard to say. How much do you think we could get the car for ? I'd be willing to pay my fair share of the costs up to maybe $600 - $700, I guess. Maybe a little more. That's assuming the centre console on the '89 is black. Less if it's not. I don't mind compensating you for your labour in removing the parts and transporting them to wherever but I don't want to end up having to pay such a large percentage of the cost of the car that everyone else gets their stuff for next to nothing either. Just so long as everything's fair and the cost of the parts car(s) are fairly divided amongst all the buyers, I'm cool with paying my fair share.
My phone number is 270-7319. Please give me a call so we can talk about this some more.
Thanks,
Roj
P.S. I like the wheels on that '89 740 wagon. Are those Dracos ? I'm not so crazy about the alloys on the 940 I bought. Does anyone want to trade a decent set of other 15" alloys for the the ones on my 940 ? Here's a pic of the car I bought.
