[V8] Looks like this car will likely be parted.

[Seamus O'Carey]

Has about 203k. It was running pretty well when I got it, just a little
blue smoke on startup if it hadn't been started for a week or so. I drove
it over an hour to get it home when I first bought it and I don't remember
it running poorly. It just had almost non-existent brakes.
