    man that is a killer interior. thats worth the drive alone for you since you obviously needed interior parts. glad someone saved most of it from the scrap pile. who knows maybe when its done being parted someone will want whats left? 1/4 panels maybe?

    Dan, I might take the power brake pedal and hanger assembly (all brake parts under the dash). I'm in contact with several others here, but they want to sell the complete setup with the booster and master cylinder (which I cannot use) Shoot me a price...

    That shock tower brace on the drivers side is unique to power brake cars as it goes around the booster. The interior is mint. I love the bead seat cover! I also notices the instruments are different. The speedo only goes to 100 and they don't have the silver/ brushed alum looking circles in the center. I would be interested in the fuel filler neck if it's the one for unleaded only. Too bad about the rust, it's a nice low mileage car. Are the floors rusted through or just surface rust? May be able to just coat/treat the rust if it's not rotted through.

    I'll try to pull it this weekend, I'll get you a price after I get it out.

    Sorry I already used the filler neck for my car. I haven't looked at the floors yet, but the bottoms of the doors fenders and quarters are very bad so I'm assuming the rest of the bottom is pretty much done. It's hard for me to really get it apart and see what's good cause I'm now working 6 days a week

    Making my car go faster, or just relaxing. Working on other peoples car 6 days out of the week kinda make you sick of working on any car.

    If you can find someone with it out of the car already you may want to. I'm going to try to finish getting it out after work today if the weather holds out.

    I know where there are 3 of them, but those guys want to sell their setups complete (booster, m/c, etc) and all that extra stuff will just end up in the trash. I hate tossing usable parts, so I've been waiting. You've given me two different times so far? :huh:
