Young Ed Posted October 22, 2007 Report Posted October 22, 2007 http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/car/454123127.html Might go look at this after work tomorrow. Of course these things have a tendency to follow me home Quote
hkestes41 Posted October 22, 2007 Report Posted October 22, 2007 I would be interested in the hood brace if it has one. Quote
Mr. Belvedere Posted October 22, 2007 Report Posted October 22, 2007 Can you check on the temp guage sender. Quote
Brendan D25 Posted October 22, 2007 Report Posted October 22, 2007 Greg, if you get it, I'm sure you will post it here and then I will pm you. There are a few items I also would be interested in if you decide to part it out. Brendan. Quote
bmt47p-15 Posted October 22, 2007 Report Posted October 22, 2007 Looking for some windshield wiper pivots. The piece that is on the outside of car that holds wiper transmissions on. Does not matter the condition. THANKS!!! Quote
Young Ed Posted October 22, 2007 Author Report Posted October 22, 2007 I will take a look. From the pictures it looks like it might be too good to part but in MN these things have a tendency not to have any floors! Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted October 22, 2007 Report Posted October 22, 2007 Doesn't look too bad in the two pics. Appears pretty complete on the outside. Quote
Young Ed Posted October 23, 2007 Author Report Posted October 23, 2007 I talked to the owner tonight. He's had it for 30odd years. Typical MN car with no floor. Way back when he tried to get it running and didn't have any compression. Pulled the head and pan and the pistons/rods out. Pistons had stuck rings etc so the head and pan were put back to protect it. He thinks that the rocker moulding on the car is good and that the other is inside it. I'm going to go see it in person after work tomorrow. Quote
David Maxwell Posted October 23, 2007 Report Posted October 23, 2007 ...my friend needs the front grill backing (the louvered part behind the grill). Hope it can be saved though. Quote
Young Ed Posted October 23, 2007 Author Report Posted October 23, 2007 David I think it might be a little too good to part. Tomorrow will tell for sure. I certainly wont part out a good car especially since I don't need that many parts for myself. Quote
Young Ed Posted October 24, 2007 Author Report Posted October 24, 2007 Went and looked after work. Pretty rusty underneath. Clutch cover is almost gone. Looks to have been sitting down on the ground. 4 fenders look pretty good along with the doors and trunk. Hood isn't attached. Hinges MIA-possibly in the trunk. The stainless and chrome seem to all be very good. Very minor pitting on the chrome. Rocker mouldings both there and decently straight. Would need a little help to be used. Car has keys with matching door and ignition. I could put those in my car. Didnt try it but might have the key for the trunk too. Wiper knob which I need looks ready to crumble Quote
Young Ed Posted October 26, 2007 Author Report Posted October 26, 2007 Ok talked to the guy last night again. He has a couple others interested in some parts and may just part it out. I am going to call him back tonight and let him know for sure either way if I want it or not. I'm leaning towards a purchase I just haven't figured out what to do with the basic shell and 4doors.

Norm's Coupe Posted October 26, 2007 Report Posted October 26, 2007 Ed, you could sell the doors either complete with hardware or split it up. As for the shell, you could then cut it down into sections like the top, cowl etc. and sell those parts. Same with the trunk deck and front end sheet metal parts. Don't forget the chassis has lots of hard to get parts too. Especially the body mount brackets on the frame. Several people have ask where to find those. Glass may be hard to ship if someone wants that. As for the body mount brackets, I have a set of those I took from a chassis several years ago. I kept them for myself as spares, but I could have sold them at least 4 or 5 times since then right here on the forum. That doesn't count the brake parts, steering, etc. on the chassis. If you have trouble getting rid of the basic sheet metal parts cut from the body itself, there's always the scrap dealers. Would be easy to scrap if you have already cut the body down into sections. Scrap steel prices are up there right now. So, I wouldn't worry about what to do with the shell. Quote
Young Ed Posted October 26, 2007 Author Report Posted October 26, 2007 The basic shell could go to the scrap heap but I'd hate to send the doors hood etc there. I also have no need for 4dr doors or a 4th hood! I really dont know that I'd even need a spare set of fenders either. I could work on getting these fixed up and primered over the winter though. Quote
mikehalek Posted October 26, 2007 Report Posted October 26, 2007 Would like you to call me before you decide what you are going to do! Mike 763-545-1297 Thanks Quote
