My friend, if that Caravelle is a squad car, you can make an absolute killing on eBay with it. I bought one for $225 several years back, and made way over $2000 profit on it... and I still have the shortblock, the entire front suspension, and the hood. Those cars are an eBay gold mine if you know interchangeability and specific stuff. I got J-head price for the cop heads, which are common 360 truck parts--and $165 for the intake (another 360 truck part), which had the long coil-mount tower broken off!!

If you've got stuff you don't plan on keeping and want to maximize eBay coin, let me know... I'll gladly share a few tips.

If I could find two of those cars a montn, I wouldn't work. Seriously.

Jass it is an 86 Caravelle and was an inspectors car.
I'm taking the drive train out to clone the Volare` Front bumper and grille in good shape.
Thanks for the tip and any help will do.
