No radio, the wheels and rims i am taking the suspension and such is really bad, and the engine and transmission i don't know if i want to tear that out it hasn't been taking care of so i don't think there is much that is usable or worth taking out.

Every piece is useful to somebody. That may one day include you.
Struts
Complete rear axle
Radiator surround
Headlights, complete
Panel between headlights
Bumpers and covers
Wiper assembly
Storage bin metal
The cats have their own value
Exhaust mid pipe
Muffler
Engine
Transmission
All of the glass
Front fenders if not rusty
I'd like to have the hood if you were closer
Oil cooler
Radiator
The carb you can strip and build for your new car
The ignition pieces could be very useful to you
And so on and so forth.

the entirior i took out the arm rest, mirrors, sunroof, i will also try to take out the dash and such and the mirror motors. The engine is not in that good of shape it hardy runs now the person who owned it did not take care of it i am sure the rotors ans seals are in bad shape plus i got no room or way to take it out of the car just seams like a hassle plus i might have more cars coming in i need room .
