[V8] another one

[Ed Kellock]

Picked up a pearl/black connoly '92 this morning in Denver.
Wrecked in right rear but trunk and right rear door still operate fine.
Has just about every single typically malady these can have but runs and
drives well.
The initial plan is to use it as an engine donor for the 5spd.
Once I beat on the dash enough to get the gauges to work, it showed normal
water & oil temp and oil pressure.
A/C works however every single power operated interior device does not...
radio, seats, windows, sunroof, mirrors, interior lights, etc.
Pulled the driver's side door wiring loom boot back and saw at least 6-8
completely broken wires.
It's got a 10-disc changer with cartridge and what appear to be model
specific mud flaps.
Has a recent upper and lower rad hose, recovery tank, heater valve, and
thermostat.
Seems the car was overheating.  Instrument cluster is very wacky so I'm
sure it's because the fan didn't know when to run.
Made the 60 mile drive home without incident.
Suspension is likely original.
BRAKE light is on.
Check engine light goes on for a while periodically.
Shows 167k but speedo is intermittent so who knows.  I do have some
records that show 1k miles in the last year.
Tires have decent tread but are o-l-d, which fairly well supports
odometer.
BBS wheels are fairly decent.
One key, no remote.
The transmission even came out of limp mode once it warmed up.
It's poised for a trans drain/refill once it cools off.
I'm almost tempted to go see how much it might cost to fix the body damage
in the rear.
(Trunk floor is kinked up near the wheel housing.)
The most surprising thing is it doesn't seem to be leaking anything
anywhere.

Here are some pix...
