two 1956 olds 88.available for parts...need partner

Ok here is the deal. My father-in-law passed a few weeks back, (gave it his all!) He has two 1956 olds 88 sitting to be dismantled. I could never convince him to part them out and have a few bucks for fun without the little lady knowing. Both cars are 80-100 percent all there.
I want t0 partner up with someone who is willing to help part them out.
It will be a 60/40 split. I get the 40%. I just dont want to see rare parts like these go to rest. I know the availability and not the condition of the part is most important. Any takers...I am in Minnesota.Now if you just want to haul away the cars and we can talk price..give me shout. NOT looking to make a bundle...just hate seeing these parts go to waste. Plus the old guy would feel good the parts are going to good use

If they're 80-100% "all there," are they not restorable?

Photos?

I might be interested in buying one. Can you post pictures? Any idea on price?

sorry to say the two cars have sat in a MN field for @ 15 years. And if they were even worth fixing up...no time no money. I also think the cars are worth more parted out. I have photos but having trouble downloading...will keep trying. If you wanted them I would only charge 500 for both. It is going to take a good effort to get them out of field...I just couldn't charge a lot concidering the effort needed by a buyer.
