I recently picked up what's left of a 1968 Delmont for the front disc brake parts and rear end, it was a factory 455 car. A previous owner was pretty aggressive at removing the parts he wanted and did some damage to what's left. But I'd like to offer up some items I see might be wanted and if there's any portions of the body someone wants for patch panels I'll get better photos for you to consider. I'm willing to use a Sawzall to cut off usable pieces. Its from Wyoming and does have rust damage that's not typical for my part of the country. Let me know if your looking for something and I'll check to see if its there and in usable condition. Here's prices on a few items I see right off. Discounts are available for purchases of multiple items. As I take it apart I'll add more items with prices.

Front bumper core, $100
Front bumper brackets $80
Rear bumper core $100
Rear bumper brackets $80

 

Murphy's law... can't find these in 442's but this one was on top of the gas tank on this parts car! I used a soft brush to try and remove more of the dirt. I'm afraid it was damaging the paper. I've tried a spray bottle with clear water and am now letting it dry. Hopefully it will make it more readable. Also, just to have a little more info. This car was a 455 2bbl car with a forged steel crankshaft. A previous owner kept the engine for another car he's working on!

 

And the trim tag to help date the car.

 

I've stripped this pretty hard and am about to send the rest to the crusher. Any last calls on parts?

John,

There's a member here looking for 68 rear frame rails, and another looking for a disc brake swap (though probably the 69-70 version).

 

Thank you Joe. I offered the frame rails on his post. I don't have a complete disc brake setup at this time. Although I did confirm this Delmont had the disc brake spindles put on it to make it a roller after he removed the drum brake parts. A previous owner was putting a Scarebird setup on another car, I purchased most of the original 1967 disc brake parts from him. John

 

I hate to throw anything away that might be usable to someone. But I need the space and will try to finish pulling parts from this and take it to the crusher this coming week.

 

This is starting to look like a turkey carcass the day after thanksgiving! I am putting small parts in boxes to save, but if anyone needs something the main body and frame will be heading to the crusher soon. Let me know if you want me to check anything. John
