Bought another car

I picked up a Mark VIII tonight that I won on e-bay this week for $860. The car runs great. It drives like shit due to the lack of a front suspension. I drove it home from Grand Rapids and I'm sea sick now, lol. The plastic deal on the bottom of the front bumper is literally dragging on the ground! The plan for it is to yank the engine, sell everything else possible, and sawzall the rest into pieces that fit in the truck to haul it to the scrap metal yard. My goal is a free engine. Not sure if I can get there or not but I'm going to try. The grill and all the front chrome stuff is in excellent condition. There's a good $250 in parts right there. Whatever the tranny is worth, tires and wheels aren't worth much but gotta be worth something, maybe $50 in scrap metal for the shell of the car. I figure there's and easy $500 in there depending on what miscellaneous stuff I can sell and for how much I might get the engien down to free.
