    I bought this car a couple years ago. I got the LDO buckets out of it (in my car now), good 6cyl, and automatic transmission. We gutted her out today and got it on the trailer. Going to pull the rear end and get the front coil springs out, to go on my sons Falcon, before it takes its last ride down the road.

    If the quarters are good, you can sell the bottoms as patch panels.

    I will be looking for a solid drivers rear quarter from the jamb all the wayback and including the trunk drop eventually ... nudge, nudge, wink, wink .... and I live further south of the rust belt than you.

    Southern cars will spoil ya' ...

    Power Steering set-up. The ole girl is full of rust, the trunk lid is in bad shape. The quarters are pretty bad shape also.
