That sort of sucks all the profit out of the deal, since I have no room to
part it out or keep.

For that money (I'd say $500) you could rent a UHaul pickup and a tow 
dolly for the weekend, drive up there and back with the thing.  Take 
what you need off it, sell off the bits and get your money back.  Or 
keep it and have lots of spare parts.

If the switch is missing, then you would need one, or you would need

Andrew.
Assuming that the truth is anything like what is stated, I don't see why 
not.
The "housings" are the the locking parts for the column and the other is 
for the directional "stalk (s)" neither of which should be critical.
If the switch is missing, then you would need one, or you would need to 
fathom which wires will start the car and run the necessary ignition 
controlled accessories. the vacuum shutoff hangs off the rear of the switch.
I brought home a 300CD left out in the weather for two years, Big

ignition/master switch housing/mount/surround and switch?  Did somebody have 
a switch that hung up/wouldn't turn, and they cut it up in effort to unlock 
it?  Indicator housing - instrument cluster - I don't know - indicator for 
what?
