My 1977 530i engine blew up last week. I will be parting it out pretty soon, unless someone wants to buy the whole rolling chassis.

Its fjord blue, ex-CA car, with no structural rust. The body was derusted about 5 yrs ago, and is quite nice. Here are the parts I will probably peel off that are unique to this car; all the other stuff is avail too. I have some prices I've cooked up, however, offer me $ for specific parts and I will reserve them, delivery later this summer when I get to it.
