1971 Cutlass convertible for parts or restore?
Just picked this up. No engine or trans or front clip. The chassis frame appears to be solid. We do not have a title & there is enough rust that it is probably best as a parts car but enough money fixes most things. Some of the parts are already spoken for but let me know what you're interested in.
The car is in Indianapolis.

I wish you were there too. There were about 6 cars & Cutlass parts laying on the ground everywhere you looked!! It looked like a Cutlass factory exploded!! He got the cars & parts from a guy that ended his own life. 
I guess he had a large collection of dozens? of cars? The story I heard is the wife paid a guy $100.00 each to haul most of them to the crusher. I guess there were 4 speed cars, big blocks, tachs, some matching number cars, etc....
This kid bought some of what was left when he got there. I don't know how much of the story is true but from what I saw it might be true.
