Don't ask for the throttle body. That's mine, unless you want to buy the whole car. The engine ran great, but the A/C didn't work when the rod started knocking and I parked it. The body has some scratches and dings, but it's not in bad shape. Paint is grey, interior is black plastic/grey tweed cloth. I can take pictures of anything you want to see.

Here's soms pics. Sorry, it's dirty as hell. The console isn't in the greatest shape. It doesn't have any cracks or anything, though. I suppose it could be painted. Drivers seat has the one tear in the left side. Passenger side looks decent, although probably could use some cleaning. Speaker grills look ok, even though they're dirty as hell too. Sunroof is in good condition. It has some cracked weatherstripping on the outside, but has never leaked a drop.

I have a few. This is what it looked like before the rod went bad, last year. Now, after sitting, the rear spoiler is peeling up. The front spoiler has a crack. There's a slight ripple on the passenger side fender, and one of the side markers is broken. (That happened while pulling it off the trailer) Other than that, it has the regular little dings and scratches you'd expect on an '89. I won't be removing any body parts, though. The car isn't in a good place to do that. If you want body parts, it's the whole car or nothing. I'll sell the whole car for $500 OBO. You pick it up, or pay for transport. If you do want the whole car, I won't sell any parts...if I haven't already.

The main problem is a bad rod and bearing. It probably needs a new crank, too. Although, there's no telling without examining it closer. It's probably reworkable. I was going to toss a used motor in it and drive it, but I really don't have the time, place, or the equipment to do it. If you don't mind it being dirty as hell, I'll go take a few pics of the minor damage now. Just keep in mind, it looks a hell of alot better when it's clean. It's been over a year without a wash. I towed it here from AL and parked it in Jan. '03. It hasn't been touched since.
Here ya go. That white crap on the back is a little road salt. It wipes right off. The only rust that can be seen is coming from inside the rear spoiler. As I said, it's looking a bit rough. I'm being completely honest here. I want you to know exactly what you're getting, if you're interested.

It has 169,200, mostly highway miles. I got it when it had 110K. The engine still ran great, it just had an oiling problem one day, and burned a rod bearing. The crank oil passage must've gotten clogged for a second or two. I don't think the guy who had it before me maintained the car that well. I cracked the oil pan open and played around with an oversized bearing, which was too tight, then stopped messing with it. I ran out of car time, and moved to MN. (I had some issues happening at that time)
I don't know how much transport costs, but I've heard it's only a few hundred, depending on how far. NC isn't all that far, I don't think. Maybe 1200 miles? Make a call or two to some trucking companies. That's what I'd do.
