Subject:1990 Carat for parts or project... 2 engines and lots of extras

Hello All:
�
My 1990 Carat has been parked for 4 years and it is time to sell it and all the parts associated with it.
It is currently parked in Paw Paw, WV (the corner of WV, MD and PA)� When it was last running it developed a rod knock and a mechanic friend found shavings in the oil fiilter... probably a spun bearing was his diagnosis.
�
Anyway...I have 2 engines (the one in it and another that needed heads)� I havea set of new re-manufactured heads still in the box and lots of other extras. I have a custom designed welded-alumimum footlocker type box that fits behind the two front seats (with the jumpseats out) that is PERFECT for camping or other gear and can be locked (Locks fit under a recessed lid)
�
The van itself has rust, peeling paint (from a botched re-paint job) etc associated with a vehicle that spent its life in the Mid-Atlantic states.� It is a parts or project van for sure. The interior has the mouse pee/smell problems associated with the van sitting for 4 years.� The engine thats out has the old heads pulled off of it. 
�
In addition I have many extras:
�
- new windshield rubber seal - never installed.
- New Fix Kit for leaking gas line (the one that goes bad above the tank)
- 2 Jump Seats in nice shape (been in storage)
-�Yakima Wind Screen and mounting hardwear. 
- assorted project parts
�
I'd like to sell everything as a whole... it will have to be hauled away on a flatbed ... or depending on your location I might be able to have a friend tow it on a trailer (for an appropriate fee of course)
�
If no one makes and offer for the whole package I will part it out. 
�
Note: The Locker/Box was custom made and�I am asking $450 for it alone and will sell seperate from the Vanagon.
