Recent junkyard finds, '72 Delta, '69 Kingswood wagon, '67 Eldorado

Found these three last week in a local yard. '72 Delta, pretty complete when I found it. Has a #8 headed 350 in it, pretty nice interior & some trim. Parts are starting to disappear, so let me know quick if anyone needs anything.
Also found a '69 Chevy Kingswood wagon. Impala based wagon, but looks like some Chevelle(Vista)type interior & exterior trim. Has the rearward facing third seat, & good tail gate glass(missing the motor now). Has a Chevy 12 bolt rear with no upper ears for control arms. 3:08 single track.
Also found a '67 Eldorado that must have been a super nice car when new. Looks to have every option available? Stereo radio, reclining passenger strato bucket seat back,now in my posession, tilt, tele etc.. Weird looking headrests....
Let me know if anyone needs parts. I'm in Indianapolis, 46227.

Scott, I've got a 1971 Cutlass flat top wagon project car. On my car the rear side glass inside trim, that runs above the spare tire and gas tank, its rusted bad. Not sure if this is the same size or shape on the Impaler based wagon, but if its not rusty could you pull it next time your there? If it's good I'd at least have something to work with, maybe cut portions out of to replace the rusted portions on my project wagon. John

Any idea what they'd want for those two dash "pods" with the woodgrain?

They look to be in pretty good shape (the ones in my Delta are a coarse tan from 40 years of sun exposure).

Also, the hood release cable (the whole rear segment, including the connector end, or both segments), if it can be gotten out intact (fender liner's got to come out to get it).

If the price is right, I'm game - I just don't know how they run at that place.

John,
Here is a picture of those trim pieces. They are very nice & should work for you. shipping might be a bit much because the box would have to be pretty long to fit them all in one piece. I might cut the long piece at the bend & put them all in a shipping tube? That would save quite a bit on shipping. Take a look & let me know.

Eric, I grabbed both pods & they seem to be in very good condition. I got them both for $14.50 plus the time to take them out, so what ever is reasonable to you is fine with me.
The hood release cable sleeve is separated at the connector on the inner fender well. I assume it would be no good because of that? The cable is still intact, but the outer sleeve is broken right there.

Kingswood 69

I'm from Holland, so excuse me in case I am not using exact accurate descriptions for parts.
I own a Chevrolet Kingswood Wagon exactly as shown on your pictures (even in the same color). It has a badly damaged rear bumper and I have been looking for a replacement for quite a number of years already, posting the question on all kinds of junkyard sites, to no avail.
So I was quite surprised to see your picture http://i856.photobucket.com/albums/ab127/oldspackrat/Mobile%20Uploads/Resampled_2012-04-16_13-49-28_763.jpg.
It looks quite good still, though there seems to possibly be a bend on the left side, but this can also be from hanging a bit loose on that side. Is it straight/not damaged and still there?
I would also be interested inter alia in the chrome trim parts from around the windows and from the body, the door handles and the tail light caps (for spare).
I would appreciate it very much if you could give some more information and prices. I am aware shipping could present a problem, so I a willing to come over from Europe and arrange shipping myself. If necessary I can perhaps arrange that in the meantime friends in Boston store parts for me.
Thank you very much in advance for your help and time, Vincent
