How to score a '65 442 -cheap!
Well, there's this guy who owns a scrap yard where there's a 65 442 sitting.
Problem is, he's VERY touchy when it comes to people picking parts. The 65 is wasted overall but it's got some real nice parts, deluxe wood steering wheel, console, buckets, nice door panels, trim - plus other stuff I actually need. So, the idea is to give him a framed picture that I took of one of his cars. He's sentimental about his yard and the cars in it. Whaddya think!? (wish me luck )The print is about 15x13" without frame. ![]() |

It might work. Or, could you offer him a complete price for the whole car or is he completely unwilling to do so?

It's not about money with this guy.
(although he does appreciate it!) He's weird. It took me about 5 years of seeing this guy at car shows, running into him and talking with him...very, very respectfully before he even let me walk around his property. -We used to sneak in as kids to marvel at it all. http://homepage.mac.com/ph12/PhotoAlbum10.html I've given him 2 scrapped vehicles for free(my old '70 and a '71 Vista). He knows and likes my '70 and now when I see him he lets me walk around when I like. He's just a touchy guy who hates to talk money. I was thinking about just saying I bought a rough '65 and tell him I'll give him $500 to pick it clean. -BTW there's picts of the '65 on that link |

There are lots of use able items on that '65, I hope you can get them. That picture labeled "hubcaps" looks to be a mid forties two door but not an Olds, I bet those bumpers would fit my '46
. That '37 looks to be in fairly good shape and that red panel truck is a custom waiting to happen.
