Let it go. The car is 17 years old. Really not worth a new engine +
tranny + A/C + new (used) seats + labor to have them all installed. Plus
whatever has gone from sitting unused for a year. What about possible CA
emissions issues? You're looking at thousands of $$ in repairs that you
don't have, on a 17-year-old car. I, too, loved my old '85 Pontiac, but
it reached the point where putting even another hundred bucks into it
was foolish. For the cost of those repairs you could get a new used car
in good condition.

I was there myself. Believe me, I made that Pontiac last way longer than
it should have... The next-to-last straw for me was the day at 0 F that
the electric tailgate window went down but not back up! And then the
brakes were so rusted they couldn't be bled.

Donating is a good idea--now that the IRS has made things more strict
you won't be able to take off as much as you could in years past, but if
someone'll take it at least you'd be spared the towing fee. I got rid of
2 cars last year that way, super easy.
Try http://donateacar.c­om/ -- they're sort of a clearing house of charities.

Anothe possibility is the local fire department. They sometimes need
old cars on which to practice with their "Jaws of Life" rescue
equipment.

I've seen those in the AFTER stage. Looks like Godzilla attacked them.
They're ripped right apart.

For those in the Toronto area, there is a fire station on Weston Road just
north of Finch Avenue on the east side. They tear the cars up, then leave
them in their lot, fully visible from Weston Road. It's been a while since
I was by there, but they're probably still at it. I'll see if I can get
pics next time I'm there.

Thanks, I'll tuck this post away for future reference.
