1968 Toronado Parting Out Soon

I just picked up a 1968 Toronado, I will probably part out soon.

Power Bench seat with armrest black interior the seats, covers and upholstery are all in surprisingly good driver condition. Green dash with working AM radio.

No rear bumper or taillights, front bumper core only. Front honeycomb grills look pretty good. Driver bumper is pretty rough.

I will get pictures up ASAP let me know if anyone is interested.
455 is spoken for.

Definitely interested. Looking for a nice accelerator pedal. Havent been able to get a new one. Not the Toronado one any way. Usually the holes in the back are broken.

I'll check the cruise control stuff today, and the hood release. It may be a little while on parts I might wait till I ship it back to FL from the west coast.

If the turn signal switch is intact, I'd be interested in the column.
Thanks

Rear seat speaker grille cover

How much are you asking for the rear seat speaker grille cover. It is the one that fit at the top of the rear seat back in the middle of the seat. It is chrome and has the oldsmobile emblem in the middle.

I'm shipping it from Oregon to Florida so it may be a little while, I'll check out the condition of the grill when it arrives and let you know.

Sorry for the delay.

The holes in the back looked ok, I will get a close up when it gets to FL.

Given how many panels I'd need for patches (fenders behind wheel wells, doors, behind DS rear window, front of the rear inner wheel wells (the undercoating on mine failed and caused the panel to rot out), and various (unknown yet) pieces of the floorpans, I'd probably be better off buying the shell of the car (once you strip the interior and whatever other parts you're selling) and shipping it to MO. I don't know how much it would cost to ship a car halfway across the country though.

If it is a disc brake car, I'd also like the disc brake setup complete.

It might not be as bad as you think. I have a friend that had a car shipped from MO to Northern CA for $700. It was on the shippers schedule, and not in a particular rush. You just have to be patient till you find someone that is looking for something headed in the direction that he needs to go to fill the truck.

Well engine is for me, I know greedy...I don't believe the carb is original, it may be a service replacement. I was reading through the service records and in 1980 something the PO replaced the carb. When it makes it to FL...I'll check the numbers on the carb I would have no interest in the carb.

Thanks
