Scavenging a 79 H/O Carcass

I found a 79 H/O in a junk yard close by. Its been pretty well picked over for all the obvious H/O stuff.
Anyone happen to know any small items to look for that might be worth picking up?

Thanks. Doug

Central Mn.
It has been pretty well stripped.
All H/O parts I could think of are gone.
Was even told cowl tag and title to somebody fakin one. (Dumb A$$)
I will look at the small stuff.
The reclining seat chrome parts are somewhat there.
From memory, a good set of tail lights w/trim.
Would guess I can get them for a song, so any other small stuff I will grab.
I was even able to pocket a couple lug nuts that were layin on the ground.

Is the front bumper still on the car? That's a one year only. The rear bumper is good for 78-79-80.

I am going to go back and pick it over.
Mine is a complete driver/survivor that may only need a trinket or two.
Will pick up anything that looks good and in decent shape.
If you happen to have something specific, let me know.
I will pass it on to those in need.

Still wondering about that. Because there isnt much left, any small stuff that I should grab??
Anything that was H/O specific? Or even Calais specific?
Just want to make sure if I see something I grab it.

Can you get the VIN on that car? I'd like to turn it in to Rick Clark, the H/OCA 79 Hurst advisor. He's keeping a registry of all 1979 Hurst Olds live or dead. I know he would appreciate it.

I got a hold of him the the Hurst Olds club site.
I think it was through a classified he posted pertaining to this.
I will check to see if VIN is there.
I know the cowl tag is gone.
If it is there I will shoot Rick a note.
FYI. For all those with a 79 H/O. You can go to GM heritage and get a copy of the original billing invoice to the dealer.
Was $50 when I did it about 4 years ago.
But some neat info on it.
