85 T/A TPI 305? found in yard

Today I found an 85 T/A TPI car in a junk yard. Looks like it just came in. I took the plastics. I sell alot of interior items here but not much with motors, under the hood or trannys. It said 5.0 litre on the GFX so I assume its a 305.
Whats the TPI worth approx? Not sure of mileage, I forgot to check. Is it hard to pull? Any tips? Only had my cell phone for pics but it is all there untouched and I wanna be first!
Suggestions and tips ! Help ! Somebody needs this setup !
Thanks,
Ray

bring some PB blaster to loosen the torx bolts, otherwise you will strip the torx head nad have to drill them out.
The 85 uses a different computer than the 86-89 and has a MAF Burnoff module I believe next to the ECM, so if you plan on selling the complete 85 TPI you need to include that.
