Lots of good parts there, folks... and pretty reasonable. He's in Knoxville, TN. Here's the Craigslist link, if you are interested. http://knoxville.craigslist.org/pts/647412302.html

allantesrus has been doing this for at least 6 years along several other Allante dismantlers. There are three in TN, two in FL, two in CA, etc .. THAT is al they do .. Allante buys and dismantle.
they provide a great service to the rest of us that need parts.
it is a value decision .. I will be completing the retirement of two '88s in the same manner by the end of 2009.
Car value = $1,000 t0 $2,500
transport = $400
Parts = $4,000 to $5,000
the math dictates the outcome ...
note:
Save your bumper .. the Factory Service Manual shows you how to fix it .. Part 10.1 of the manual.
