buying pandora's box

I bought an 87 9000 turbo about a month ago. Since the purchase I've had to do a little bit of upkeep (new cv joint, power steering fluid leak, new rear view mirror...) but for a $400 car I guess one can't complain too much.
Two days ago while driving through a part of minneapolis one wouldn't want to raise kids in the clutch got all mushy and then the pedal went all the way to the floor without any discernable effect (the transmission would not engage) I had it towed to a shop and the mechanic guessed the problem was either (1) bad engine mounts or (2) problem w/ hydraulic system (master/slave cylinder) - but he wasn't going to prognosticate definitively.
so here's the question, no junkyard I called would take the car, does this mean a fix is hopeless or should I just interpret this as junkyard owners espousing a certain preference (or should I say prejudice?)
can I fix it? Does this sound like a problem with the motor mounts?
