Today, David and I took the remains of the 89 to the auto cemetary.
Observations:

-- Once the subframe and powertrain are out, (A) it's tricky to strap a
Taurus to a tow dolly, and (B) the center of gravity is somewhere near the
rear seatback.

-- Once the subframe and powertrain are out, there is not much metal left
forward of the firewall.  Yikes.

-- Stripped clean, an SHO is hard to tell from a SLO.  Except, of course,
for the shabby, but full leather, driver's seat.  :-)

Aside from any $ made from parting out this car, gosh, it sure was a
learning experience.  Now I just gotta learn how to put all this stuff back
together.  ;-)
