Some recent finds

Some recent finds. A few will be coming home to be sure they find good new Buick homes...

Not sure of the year on this one - 51 maybe?

 

63 LeSabre Wagon

 

64 Skylark 2-door post. Hard to see in the pics, but this one pulled an "Eleanor". Front fender behind the wheel is shoved clear over to the framerail. **BUT** it has nice rear quarters, bumper, and reverse light. I'll be bringing this one home as a donor for my 65. :TU:

 

64 Wildcat. This one will probably come home as a motor donor.

 

Another 64 Wildcat. Again, the engine is complete from wingnut to drain plug.

 

66 Electra. Front clip is really nice. rear has some minor damage. engine is complete, but dipstick is frozen into something...

 

This one got me worked up for a bit... turned out the only thing GTO was the trunk lid.

 

Some other neat ol' Pontiacs:

 

and a few more Buicks. I couldn't open the hood on the 71. All the others were small blocks.

 

oops, couldn't attach 'em all on the last one

 

And finally... a Gran Torino. I've seen cars that have hit bulldozers at 60mph, a Cougar that did a pole at 110... but neither come close. I don't know the story.

 

Before ya'll get too excited, this place does not sell parts. Its an old yard that closed a decade or more back. The family wants them gone. You want something, you take the whole car.

I'm going to pull the 64 Skylark out of there for the quarters, one of the 64 Wildcat's for the engine, and probably the wagon just cuz its too cool to let sit there.

After that I'll share contact/location info. Sorry, I've been burned in the past by being too forthcoming.

 

Thanks for saving the Buicks!

Greg,
We fully understand your concern and appreciate the fact that you want to save these cars from the crusher! Let us know when you've got what you need! Thanks, Tim :Brow:

 

let us know when
looks like a road trip is in store
Greg

 

Wasn't there a '66 cat that you were hauling home? It does sound like a road trip from a few of us SE of you-

 

I'm thinking..... what a bunch of cool pictures that could be taken there. Just when the sun comes up/down when you get that warm glow and long shadows. I'd berunning around with the camera like a rabbit..

 

Anything full-size from 75 or 76?

 

I am no where near this area, but I could definetly use the fenders and bumpers
off of that 64 wildcat. so, please let me know if you start parting it out

 

lapham3 - The 66 turned out to be an Electra - its pictured above.

bf2knight - no, no 75-76's at all. (derby boys got there first)

wondallace - I'll be bringing home one of the 64's for the engine. I was planning on the rattier red one just to leave the better tan one intact. I have no use for any of the body or trim parts, so if there's anything on it you can use, we'll talk (later, I want it home first).

 

no problem. wish I was closer the tan one looks to be in great shape and has a nice rear bumper.
Actually, the red ones front clip looks good.
thanks
