WTB '64 98 parts car

I'm looking for a parts car for my '64 98 Holiday 4dr. I'd like to find one within 200 miles or so of Pittsburg, KS so I can pick it up instead of dropping a grand for shipping. If anybody knows of anything or hears of anything, I'd love to know!
Thanks!

Actually somebody emailed me today about two places that specialize in classic Oldsmobiles! Purkeys Auto Salvage in Coffeyville, KS, and Brothers Automotive, in St. Joseph. Gonna give those a try, but will keep this active until I check them out. Also, will take note of what else they have for you all.

I've never heard of Purkey's, but if they have stuff let us know. It couldn't help but be good for their binness for us to know about it.

Would surprise me if Brothers had anything for your Ninety Eight.

I have a nice original 1964 olds 98 with in 200 miles (I think). I'm in Tulsa. Are you still looking for one?

Yeah I am but was looking for a parts car unless it's in better condition than mine. How much were you looking to get out of it? (has to be cleared by the wife, the keeper of my fun budget, she doesn't let me have much!

Well that is debatable I suppose LOL. I traded another car for it hoping to start rebuilding it, but you know how that goes, too much stuff on my plate right now. It has a clear title an up to date tag, no rust rot, it was primed before it sat in a field for some time. The chrome is in great condition: missing the hood strip, bottom quarter chrome and it's skirts. I had the original carb rebuilt by a guru here in town and the motor runs. All power windows work, power seat works, antenna works, wipers work. The left taillight is busted unfortunately. The interior is pretty well shot as far as the cloth/ cushion stuff goes. Most everything is here on this car. I know it needs a good home and would love see it help complete a nice car or be restored itself, but I have no idea what it would be worth, maybe someone reading this could chime in? Shoot me an offer and we can take it from there.
