    The Electra will have a long shaft TH400. There are a lot of parts you can use or sell from it. I just got done stripping a 70 Wildcat about 5 weeks ago.

    Here are some items you can sell/use from it:

    If it has disc brakes, get em, they are in demand. SharpSabre455 needs a set-up.

    Fan shroud will work in Skylarks.

    P.trunk will be good to have and sell for decent money.

    Original floor mats

    Front bumper tri-shield emblem

    Tilt wheel

    Cruise control set-up

    Posi rear and gears

    Misc int trim pieces such as deluxe seat belts, instrument cluster, dash pad

    Discs will not work on your 65. You need a disc set-up from a 69-72 A-body or 69-72 Grand Prix or 70-2 Monte Carlo.
