Some fun parts

[7T1240]

Awhile back, I posted a thread asking about the experiences of people who have bought parts cars. After reading your input, I went ahead and purchased one that had been offered to me. I've been digging around in it and have taken some photos of some of the more fun / interesting parts. Shown are a decent Bridgestone RD-150 on a lightly used rim, a uncracked dash, a nice fuse cover with fuse puller, a heater control panel with minimal scratches and chrome overlay intact, and a tire changing tool bag still sealed in plastic. At this point, I may not end up parting the car out. I'm in the process of porting over some of the nicer applicable parts into my 11/71 car (the parts car is a 2/72), such as interior door pulls, the heater control panel, possibly the AM/FM radio. One option I'm looking at right now is leaving the nice dash in the car and selling it whole and as is (not running). I need the space freed up before winter.

Nice going Mate. Just the parts pictured are like hitting a jackpot. That brand new tire changing kit has got to be very rare.

How's the rest of the car? Looks like it has a nice white interior. I'm as far away as you can get on the lower-48, but I've been searching for a good rolling-chassis with the white interior. They're hard to find in Florida.

Tony, when I first saw your User name auzziez, I assumed you were even farther away than Florida...I thought you were one of the Australia CZC guys! Anyway, the rest of the car - well, not too bad, depending on how you define it. First of all, it hasn't run in a dozen or more years. It's an automatic. Those white interior panels you like are in pretty good shape, but faded. Each seat has an issue that would best be remedied by recovering. The car is pretty straight and not too rusty, but needs paint.

I need my garage space back. If somebody buys it to put it back on the road, it will definitely be a project.
