A few weeks ago I posted a bunch of sad looking Cadillacs sunk in the ground at an upcoming auction.  There will also be an 8-6-4 motor there.  If anyone is interested.     http://www.kikoauctions.com/?nav=auctions&details=4646

It will be interesting to see if that one even goes for scrap value.    Looks like there is some stuff missing from it.   Likely the only value in it would be someone that has an 80 or 81 w/DEFI and needs some of the what are apparently very hard to find sensors assuming they are even there or working.    If the valve covers are in good shape they could have value to someone that is trying to keep theirs running.  The covers were plastic and I would imagine at this age have got even more brittle than they were when new.    I suppose someone could also get rid of the solenoids by taking the rockers from the other 4 then you wouldn't even need the funky covers.
