Jeff,

In my area (San Francisco), I would gladly pay $75-$200 to get rid of the
carcass. The includes the wrecking yard towing the hulk away. I don't think
any yard operator in their right mind would pay for a stripped vehicle.
Especially since the majority of the weight is in the engine and
transmission which you have already removed.

Cheers,
