Good parts car?

[Dave Arkle]

Sorry to spam here, but I couldn't find the original poster or post...

I have a running/driving 87 5KTQ that has a very light hit on the passenger
side  that I'd live to sell as a parts car or fixer/upper. I'm gonna put it
on marketplace, but since this was so specific, I thought I'd mention it to
the poster here. COntact me off-list for details...

...ok, 1 detail...it has 6 spoke A4 15's on it w/ brand-new tires :)

Thanks.

The '86 5ktq I had as a parts source for my '87 had a different power
steering pump than the later models.  I can't remember what else was
different.  I sold the parts car to someone else because we haven't been
driving the '87 for a while.
