Get it and part it out on eBay. If it's heading to the scrap yard.

I'm in South Jersey. I have no need or desire for another Mark V. But if anyone needs any help, I'll assist. Looks like an old 500 from what I can tell. But I am warning you to be careful or else they will start multiplying! 
The last Mark V I saw in South Jersey, the seller didn't even know how to turn it on. When I pulled the belt cover off to inspect, it told a story of years of misuse/neglect. If it is near me, I could go look at it for you & save you a long trip if it is passed any hope. But then, it may of been cared for. Hard to tell from just the pics.

No response. Shame. I have a guy who is willing to take it (as I'm all full up) and put it to good use. Maybe someone else can try to hit them up. If anyone gets to it and still wants a home for it just PM me. The guy I'm referencing is a new woodworker who loves my 53 greenie and will treat her nice.

It's in Riverside, NJ 08075 which is about 30 minutes or so from me. Someone will have some fun as I took a closer look & it has a lot of rust. But that is just part of the fun of restoration. I sent an email to the seller & got no response either. I can break a Mark V done in about 10 minutes. I just have to be care when I lift things.
I hope it didn't go to the scrap yard.
