Located at Arlington Pull-A-Part. I went through and removed what I wanted. Not sure there is much left that's any good. It's pretty rusted out, you can't close the drivers door and the pass door won't open because the wieght of the car is on it. It was a FI 1.8 1974, but engine and trans are gone as is most of the good stuff.

Andy, here is the VIN#:

Is it the picture, or are the rear fenders flared on the black one?????

There are lotsa parts on that one. I see F&R brake calipers, windshield trim, roll bar trim, front fenders (not being made anymore), bumpers (dwindling supply), bumper rubber, light housings (side and front turn signal), and more......

A man can never have too many spares in his attic.

Yer trusses are geting damp and pulling up in the center. Causes cracks and pulls the tape from the wall/corner joint/

Solution? More parts to push it back down (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) .

Rear trunk lid looks like it came up hard and mashed both rear sail trim pieces.

All rubber associated with the bumpers is toast, although the bumpers themselves are still save-able.

Windshield and trim I pulled and sold to member here locally. Didn't make anything off that deal, but happy to get a good useable part to someone who needed it.

Most parts look like they have been sitting for a long while, but the good part is no one has cut any brakes lines or removed the brake fill cap. So calipers all might be good cores?

If I can make it back up there, I'd grab some of those, axels also looked good.

Good side shifter and inner shift bar.

The fenders are pretty hashed it seems. Lots of paint and filler from what I can tell, lots and lots of rust. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

For the $1 admission, it's worth it if anyone's in the area to just visit the little guy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)

One thing I spaced is I could use the front trunk floor. That seemed pretty much okay.

We need one of those for the Limo! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) (used to have AC)


Also, if it's not too much trouble, can you get the paint code, chassis number and build date?
