All,

It is with a heavy heart that I announce the passing of my bright yellow companion <https://photos.app.goo.gl/VVptwfxk1OW3MwJH2> of 17 years.
Apparently, the oil pump failed at 80MPH and the engine seized.  She was in pretty good shape overall and I had just installed a new Redline shift boot with yellow stitching that looked so nice.  :sniff:

I don't really know what to do with it so I'm looking for any suggestions.
My first thought was to sell it to a junk yard for $100 (or whatever they will give me) but that seems cruel.  Another would be to donate it to a charitable organization.  Or I could part it out.

That last option is the most attractive (I think) but I don't want to part it out completely (I'm not in the junk yard business). I wouldn't mind giving up some easily removed things for fellow listers, but keeping a decaying car in my back yard is not in my plans (and I'm sure it wouldn't make my wife happy).

Here's what might be available:

   - iPod interface - 30pin (used but works pretty well)
   - Radio head unit / speakers / CD-Changer (doesn't work properly)
   - Headlight washer unit (brand new, in box)
   - Redline leather shift boot w/yellow stitching (almost new :(  )
   - Engine covers / floorpan cover
   - Front/Rear Floormats (driver's side is worn out)
   - any suggestions?

Later...
Richard Hurt
