I called the guy and said I was from Phoenix and I'd come take a look. Real nice guy. He runs a dog rescue charity, and somebody in Phoenix had donated a vehicle (a nice Taurus). Since I would be going there with an empty tow dolly anyway, he said if I delivered the car, he would give me my pick of the parts cars.

They are all rusty and in various stages of completeness, but I found a 10/70 car that has an almost perfect interior (except the dash of course). It even has the original radio and fuse box cover (minus the lid). It has AC, original steering wheel, 4 screw carbs and bumpers that are in OK but not perfect shape. Rusty doors and fenders, but a nice set of slotted aluminum wheels with good tires even.

I had a marathon driving day - Phoenix to about an hour north of LA and back, but I got a lot of nice Series 1 parts in the deal. Not Bad!

I saw that auction. Sounds like a great deal for you. What color is the interior on the one you got?

Black interior. One of the tool box lids is broken, but thats about it. Even the console is in good shape. Good door panels too. I'll be keeping those for my 70 - speaker hole disease.

I wish I'd known you were going; I'd have asked you to check out the blue interior panels that he says he's got in a 240Z out there.

I must have missed that car. I don't remember seeing any blue interior cars.

There was one white 70 car that was raced out. It had a roll bar, E31 head on an L28 motor with a 4 barrell and a turbo. It also had an R200 rear end but still had the stock 4 speed. Electric fuel pump and ignition too. The only good body part on the car was the hood which had the turbo scoop on the drivers' side. I almost went for that car but I'm an original equipment kind of guy. There was a guy looking at it, I don't know if he ended up getting it or not. It was getting late and I had a long drive ahead!
