Sad to see a straight car like that in the bone yard. But if you got time to pull parts before they crush it.... I know those waterfall grill panels are hard to find. Harder to pull, but the fiberglass header panel around them is also scarce. Then the headlight surrounds are that style front end only. If the plastic interior isn't crumbly the surrounds for the back seat side windows will fit several years. The rear brakes may be 11" at least I've found them on 1976 and those will swap over onto the 1964-72 A-body cars. If you have time, grab the backing plates, drums and look for a rear sway bar. Does it have dual exhaust? If so the transmission crossmember is in demand. Sport mirrors. Seat Belts? Again, sad that its there but if you have the time to pull some parts the sales may give you some extra money for your projects and I'm sure there's members out there that would kill for some of those items!

looks like ill be at the yard this weekend to pull the hole header panel off an see what else it has, i do know the center console is still there an i wonder what are the gears in the rear.....

 

That should be the corporate 8.5 rear end. So if a posi of any ratio grab it!

 

Console, shifter, rally pack gauges? Not as rare as the pre-1972 but still desireable parts. How's the steering column? A floor shift for sure, tilt? Cruise button on the blinker stalk?

 

OK... sorry about the multiple posts. You might consider posting a thread over at 73-77olds.com too! Just don't say where the yard is

Thats a shame, pretty solid car. These 70s rides are really growing on me. I'd like to have the dual bolt pattern trans in it.

 

yea i know its a floor shiftier,as for the rest i dont remember.i went there with my brother for some random parts an i all ways make a walk by the oldsmobiles an he wouldn't let me play with the car o ill have to go back there an see. but if it has a posi ill be ripping it out for sure !

 

Upper door panels and rear side panels are not reproduced. If they are nice someone would want those. Rear bumpers are extremely rust prone, if it's good it is worth getting, front bumper too. If that car was near me I'd go crazy pulling parts.

 

Probably get that rear for a song, it's what I'm looking for too, too bad it's in IN

 

I imagine this car is probably long gone or detroyed by now but I was just wondering. Where is this yard ? Any chance you'll be back to it any time soon and see if and whats left of this ?

 

if it was me i would just buy it and drop in a 455 and a 4 speed and do a big burnout but that's coming from a teen who wants to buy everything in the junk yard im in


ps: theirs a junk yard in Alamogordo NM called wild bills that has a **** load of classic olds and it doesn't seem right to let them sit there and all of them are rust free and most of them are pretty straight body's

 

Need to add some of these pics to themJunk Yard Dogs thread. Wow that sure looks like a nice straight body to have ended up there.

 

Here is one I owned, it was a 403 car!
Guess where it ended up??? (hint) soup cans.

 

that is a shame to see something so nice in such a horrible place
