Someone that I know wants $1500 for it. He's had it about 12 years, and has never had it running. So I wanted to find out what a scrapper would give. To help come up with a value. Below is what I found out. As a reference. The Cedar Rapids area has a population of about 190,000 people. That were I got this info.

Talked to 3 scrap yards in the Cedar Rapids area. All 3 said they wouldn't take it if it was free, delivered to their door. With the Federal EPA rules. The frig, roof A/C , stove, and water heaters have to be removed, and go to an approved recycling center that handles appliances only. Dash A/C only needs to be drained. So there is the labor to remove. Transport labor charge. Then a $20 charge per appliance recycle fee for dismantling each. That will total about $200 just to dispose of the appliances. All wood , cloth, and other materials have to go to a landfill. They said that the ones that they gutted cost them in labor, and land fill fees in the $485 range. Gas tanks, and all fluids must be removed. Another $170. Then cut up the body.. As it's too big for a crusher, or shredder. Another $180. Then when it's shredded. The Alum. and steel values drop due to the contamination of the composite body shell. That cost to the scrapper comes to $1035. At this time their gett
ing about $98 a ton for contaminated steel.$126 for contaminated alum. Bob Dunahugh
