It's a great solid near perfect car. I bought this car about a month ago from Arizona and it's absolutely rust free.. Why part it out? Well it's a 70 and I'm trying to make the car 100% correct, so the entire front end has to go. Also it's going back to it's original color *46 Ming Jade, at the time an additional cost Toronado color.

The be technically correct, everything would be 72 specific since you are selling it as a package. Looks like good clean solid parts for somebody working on s 72 resto.

That makes sense then

Never seen a car with just one of the sport mirrors. That would also have to change to match the one year only style. Is the rear bumper 71/72?

Has the correct 70 rear bumper with the cutouts. I recently bought a pair of 70 sport mirrors so yes the mirror has to go as well. Also the 70 CS interior is perfect but unfortunately it blue. That will also have to go as I'm changing the interior to the correct color white pearl. Thanks for the comments, if you see anything else that's weird please let me know.

My 72 Chevelle SS had just on sport mirror from the factory. Always thought it needed a right side but sold it before I found one.

Was just looking at your pics and your fenders are 71-72 specific as well. Some people don't mind but if you want to be correct, you will need to get 70 specific fenders as well.

Yeah I know about the fenders being incorrect, "crinkle bumps" but they are perfect. I've been looking around but it's hard to find really nice 70 rust free stuff.

Excellent plan on going back to original 1970 parts. Good luck with the build.

And that's the right way to go about this. Unless it's absolutely essential to have everything bone stock at huge costs, go with what will do the job. FWIW, I believe that if you have perfect fenders they likely are OEM instead of repro ones. I'd keep them too!

I believe Legendary Auto Interiors has the proper White (pearl) for your car. It was the same color application for 70 and 71 apparently. In 72 white became exactly that.

Here's a link to Legendary showing the Pearl White front seats. You can search out the door panels and rear seats. I was a bit surprised at how much the prices have gone up though

You're welcome. That page may take some time to load (unfortunately) so if it's a problem here's the link to their home page where you can do a sourcing for the required parts. Legendary Catalogue drop down Menu

One thing I would suggest PRIOR to any order of this size though is to definitely take up Legendary on their suggestion to ask for a sample before placing the full order. That way you can see if it's what you want and also avoids any issues with possible return shipping if you're not happy. Legendary has one of the best customer service reputations for product and service in the aftermarket industry.

Thank you for your input.
I thought I priced it fair, I need to sell all of it to procure more parts.
If someone can't use it for their project I think their is enough meat on the bone to part it out.

Hello Joey,


I might be interested but I have a few questions. Is it a 71 or 72 core support? They are a bit different and won't fit all grills. Is it solid under the battery tray?


Also, can you tell if the fenders are OEM? Is the bottom structure of the rear of the lower fender still in tact?


Thanks.


Ben

Just realized the fenders were not included. Sorry. Please let me know if you plan to separate it out as I would be interested in the core support (if its a 72) and possibly the hood.

The initial set of photo's (far right) clearly shows the hump on the core support for the 72 grill clearance , so yes it is a 72 core support.
