I don't see any damage to the tank and the cylinder looks runnable to me, but outside of that I'd agree with your list.I think there are as many bad parts as good parts on it.
Front of the gas tank looks broken
Cylinder
Crankcase
Muffler
Top handle
Brake handle and linkage
That’s what I can see. About $500 for oem motor parts and gas tank and $75 for an AM half wrap, brake handle and linkage (if available), and muffler
Lol. There was a time that I’d be all over piecing it back together. He needs to find someone with a good 390 parts stash as mine is about used upJust send it to @ huskihl, he'll put'er back together and add some sausage too... It won't be the same animal
Looks like a chunk of dirt to me, but you may be right.
The bar stud is likely in the oil tank. Just an interference fit from the inside outLooks like a chunk of crankcase to me- where the bar stud pulled through.
OP says it is cracked under the bar plate- so just guessing a bit dislodged from the case as I assume the powerhead was wearing a bar when run over, popped the front one and they undid the nut of the back one to remove the buckled bar.The bar stud is likely in the oil tank.

Great guess. Sounds like maybe familiar.OP says it is cracked under the bar plate- so just guessing a bit dislodged from the case as I assume the powerhead was wearing a bar when run over, popped the front one and they undid the nut of the back one to remove the buckled bar.
But hey only a guess- you never know, maybe a track cleat shore the nut off the front one and pushed it in to the tank.
Yep I agree, just making a point that the bar studs aren’t like a Stihl where if they got “pulled out”, it would destroy a chunk of the case. I couldn’t see the broken part on that side that he was referring to, so the damage is more than a bar stud repair. If there’s a crack under there, certainly it needs the case half replaced rather than the possibility that it needed a stripped bar stud thread repair.OP says it is cracked under the bar plate- so just guessing a bit dislodged from the case as I assume the powerhead was wearing a bar when run over, popped the front one and they undid the nut of the back one to remove the buckled bar.

Op, a couple months ago a worn but running 385 sold on here for $325 with nearly new top covers. Yours has more value as a parts saw than it does as a runner, but I wouldn’t pay more than $100 for it due to the number of parts that are actually bad
