There are many things I would want off it if I had anywhere to store them. Currently getting ready for a move so I am not able to.

If you want to bring it here to store it that would be OK. While I don't really need anything off of it, I would give you $100 for the wheels if you don't want them, & I may be interested in buying the engine if you don't want that.

Scott and I are going to go up and get it.

2.    The few who learn by observation.
3.    The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.    Will Rogers

Good. Sounds like there were too many parts to just allow it to be scrapped.

Charlie;
It may not be worth the effort to take the car.  I tried jumping it today to make sure it wasn't frozen but had no success.  The solonoid on the starter clicked but the starter did not engage or  even try to.  I cannot go under it to jump directly to the starter and I can't see how to turn the motor manually.  I don't think it is frozen but who knows.  I pulled the dipstick and there is no sign of water in the crankcase.   The car itself is disgusting looking, covered in mildew and moss.
Its up to you whether you want to take it.  If you still want it would you be bringing a trailer or a dolly?

Scott has a trailer.  I have Roger's dolly but it requires new tires before it could be towed.  I'll check with Scott to see if he's still interested.  Wheels and headers may be worth it, plus a few other things from the engine and front end.

I will give it a haome, my only concern is getting it on the trailer. If the trans is broke does the car still roll? It looks like the best time for me will be after the 1st

Out of curiosity, what happens if you just pull it on, using a winch?

Any stress would be applied to the trans or engine.
If the trans is locked up, it's likely already shot. Not an issue.
If the engine is locked up, it still probably won't hurt the trans.
If the engine is not locked up, and it's just a starter issue, it will turn. Or not. Still probably won't hurt anything.

Someone mentioned having wheel dollies--you know, the kind you put under the tires, so the tires aren't on the concrete, so you wan move the vrhicle around in your dhop.

Of course, using these on a slanted, uneven surface could be very dangerous.

The transmission broke.  The engine was still running.   Later the instrument panel blew smoke.   Now the starter won't engage the engine.  The car still rolls.

The clutch blew but the tranny is still good.  The car rolls but you would need a winch as the brake discs are rusty and drag.  I have been moving it around on the property with a chain on my golf cart.
