    I have this 200 6 in the parts car I dont know if it runs or not but was wondering if anything on it is worth saving before it goes to the crusher

    If someone is walking because theirs took a dump, might just get lucky and sell it...

    I'd fire it off and see if it runs OK...

    If someone has lost the anchor for their boat, they might want to buy it.

    Throw it on Craigslist. A friend got $225 for his 200. Didn't take three days before it sold

    If it doesn't run, I would save the oil pan and the valve cover.... Any vacuum tees....carb and carb spacer....pulleys/brackets.....dipstick. Those are a few parts that came to mind real quick.

    I sold the 200 from my parts Comet for $250...

    Maybe I was lucky but in any case, I'm satisfied the buyer got a very good deal...
