No..but it can be recycled.
It would have a nice second life as a lawn chair frame!
In other words that stuff is toast.

Yeah, that stuff is definitely not being used again in a running engine.

It was a ticking time bomb then. These cars are just getting too old to have any life left on the original motors.
