    But Im really getting tired of winning!!

    Ran down a lead last week. Guy had wrecked his Skylark back in the 80's after he restored it with NOS parts. Back when they were all available at the dealer. He had put on NOS fenders and core support. The tattered GM tags are still on them.

    Luckily the car had gotten rear ended. He parted the car out and stuck all the parts in his parents garage. I was able to get both fenders, the radiator support, a set of old Kenne Bell headers that are basically new, a pair of US made brake rotors, 6 almost new doggies, 70-71 left side wheel well, 71 Skylark grill that was NOS. 2 manual left side mirrors. One is a 70. No right side mirrors, I asked:D

    The parts are literally filthy. I was rummaging through a garage that hadn't been opened in years. It ws like a mining operation. I felt like I was in an episode of American Pickers, Buick edition. More pics this weekend after I clean everything up. Might even have to fire up the power washer! Im tired and filthy. I need a shower and a meal....

    You would too if you've gone out of your way to get pics as requested sent them then get NO replies even after a phone call. There's NO excuse after weeks have gone by with NO communication!!!!

    When that happens to me I take it as " Im not interested" and move on. Life is to short to sweat stupid stuff.

    Jason sorry for the derailment.....
    Tom I told you I was interest in the parts.
    You said you would send pictures ( you did 9/6 ) I have not seen what you wanted for a price which is fine ,can be discussed.
    I told you I work 2 full time jobs and you know about the family medical distractions.
    I told you to call if you did not hear back from me on your parts for sale.
    Like many I pop on to v8 if I get a second to check out the bench as a quick distraction from the real world. Only to have a caps lock post made at you to remind you that you forgot to call someone back.
    Sorry for the delay.
    Call me after 5 with prices for the 2 fenders and doors, not sure I can afford the bumper and grille going into winter up here.
    Sorry again to Jason.....
    Keep fighting doing those deals.

    Smokey15 So old that I use AARP bolts.

    I just watch in amazement but am glad that Jason finds and saves these parts and they may one day make it to someone in the Buick world who can use them. Otherwise the person who had them might end up just trashing them. So, tell me about the non-70 manual mirror. :D
