the body and frame of this car is shot. the hood could be used maybe but that is a big maybe. most all the A/C parts are there and the system is still sealed up, the dash is not cracked and never had the radio hole cut on. the engine runs but i took the carburetor and water pump off. i may be able to find a carburetor for you to hear it run if need be. the transmission shifts good. soft ray side glass and some good trim. i can deliver for the price of gas up to 100 miles. $600. scrap would bring close to 400 so may be a good deal for someone.

I have a friend with a 72 missing the ac system and the breather vent pipe from the valve cover to air cleaner. Would you sell those parts without the whole car? Or are you trying to get rid of it as a whole?

edit: Is that brick your 'anti theft device'?

 

i was hoping to sell the entire thing. i have another 72 with a complete A/C setup i am thinking about selling. what parts do you need? it will be maybe a month till i could get to pull any of it.

 

I think he needs everything but he heater box/ evap core. Maybe his consensor is there, I need to check. Certainly he needs the compressor, brackets and lines. No hurry to get it either. Let me do a good visual on his car so I am sure what he needs and get back to you. Thanks for your help.

By the way, anything ever come of your "Barn Find"?

Chris

 

still working on it. i need to talk to him. i will likely be selling some of it soon. i think he is lurking around here some now but not sure. i plan to call him tomorrow.

 

I'm just wondering if by any chance u would have a good firewall cut in ur pile of part's there for a 70 cutlass convertible??? My car is bad all the way around the windshield and would like too buy a full firewall or even the upper half... if possibly u may have one too sell..... Thanks!!

 

yes, that fire wall and windshield frame is a 70 cutlass convertible. it is for an A/C car. it is very solid but does have just a little rust around the antenna hole. it is not that bad and fixable. the windshield is also good. where are you located? i would rather sell it the way it is. it would take to much for me to cut it. could you pick it up?

Is that a 4 core radiator? If so let me know.

 

Hey Man, How's the bottom of the fron fenders, rear wheel arch trim and radio? I'd like all or some. steve e

 

the fenders are junk. i will have to look but i think i can come up with a good set of rear wheel trim and an AM radio.


the radiator is a 3 core.

 

I can tell from the photo, it is NOT a 4 row/core radiator.

 

Thanks for the heads up on the fenders, bummer. How about a 4 barrel intake manifold for a 350 Super Rocket? steve e

 

i have a 72 350 4bbl intake. where are you located? they are not to cheep to ship. i will look for the radio and trim tomorrow and get back to you.

 

Hi, did you receive the private message I sent? Just seeing if I did it correctly. Thanks, steve e

 

If you would like to sell the hot air pipe (from exh manifold to air cleaner) I would be interested (providing that it is a 350)!

 

Guys, when you see the thread, the name on the right is the name of the last person posting looking for parts. Thanks, and Good Luck! steve e

 

p.s. are you Rob Young from Harrington Park?

 

i will send you guys PMs tonight

 

ill take steering wheel if available

 

the steering wheel? it is not any good.

 

Do you still have the parts car for sale. If so where are you located?? Thanks!!

 

still have it. i am in Brazil Indiana. a little far from Dallas. i will likely finish parting it out this summer but if you just can't live without it let me know.

 

I need all the door rods and handles and maybe some misc interior stuff. Im also intrested in the fenders even if the are junk . let me know what yu tink price wise pm me

 

Last remark is some time ago - car may be gone by now? Anyway, I noticed a towbar on the olds. Was that an option? Is it bolted to the car or welded? I'm really curious - has anyone seen those towbars before?

 

You can always check with Eric. He keeps stuff for a long time.
re: tow bar. That's what we call a 'trailer hitch' over here and it's quite common. Most of the newer hitches are a different design though. That one is a 'light duty' hitch. It is not an Olds option; it's an aftermarket feature. (If you anticipated you would be towing with your Olds, you could factory order or have the dealer install a 'towing package' though). That one looks like it's bolted on. They are available at most auto parts stores over here. If you want, you can always have a welder fabricate one for you in the Netherlands and either bolt or weld it to the frame. Just depends on how heavy a trailer you're planning to pull.

 

Thanks Allan!
I'll first have to go to the RDW (the DMV over here) to ask which requirements they have. For modern cars it needs to be stated in the design (and / or owners manual) how heavy the load may be, and then the hitch itself should have a maximum load indicated too. I'm not sure how they deal with older cars.

In my mind I'm playing with the thought to make a trailer out of a (crashed) Olds rear clip. I think that would be something nice, although my son accuses me having no taste - what's new?

 

Hey Eric - Everything OK in your neck of the woods? Don't know how near those killer storms were to your hometown. Hope you, the family and the Olds were not affected.

Scott

 

where i am was bad but nothing compared to other places in Indiana. we had what would normally be considered a bad storm. we had a large amount of hail here. most of it was 2 inches and some as big as 2.5 inches. it busted out car windows at work. my cars were inside here at home but it wasn't as bad here as it was at work. one car had the sun roof busted out and over 4 inched of hail inside his car. we are adding on to our building at work and the contractors didn't show up Friday. i decided to park my truck in the new addition because the back window leaks water. now i am glad i havn't fixed the leak because i would have left it outside.

how are things in your part of the country? i have a harmonic balancer in your neck of the woods getting rebuilt.

 

Are you still parting out? I need the chrome strip from the driver side back roll down window, I need a flywheel cover(the plastic one, would be interested in the louvers off the hood, and the taillights if decent. Feel free to pm me details, shipping to 01581.
