I got this several months ago as a rolling chassis, no doghouse or engine or trans. It had disc brakes & shortly before I got it, most likely a nice looking car. Someone put the big wheels on it & decided to run from the Man. I was told they went into a ditch on the right & then to the median before stopping. The front wheels demolished the firewall lower sections which were rust free of course. The frame is bent just in front of the firewall, They "modified" the front suspension for the wheels so all that is junk. The perfect dash pad was ruined by the smashed windshield but plenty of nice dash parts.
I cut the nice trunk drop offs for a guy, then the rear 12" or so for another guy, then the gas tank vent lines for a member here, then the right front lower cowl section that could be worked into somewhat usable form. I sold most of the disc brake stuff to a guy in Texas. Sold the roof to a local guy. The front lower windshield channel looks to be very nice & I'm sure I'll sell it at some point. The rocker panels are very nice & I may keep them for my self. The rear end has a buyer & I'll ship what little will be left to the scrap yard.
I pulled all the dash parts & other nice parts yesterday & they are in stock & ready to go.

Of course the core support WAS very nice, almost perfect.


Battery tray area. Might have to cut & paste this part for future use.

LOL - Nice convertible modifications!!!

Looks like still plenty of good usable parts like dash, rad support and front cowl to dash metal.

Scott, what the heck are those patches on the front control arms?? I've never seen anything like that

Allan,
Those are the "mods" for the wheels I'd guess? Look at the lower control arm real close too. Impressive work.

Really?? What was on that thing, Donks??
