With just the quick look I had at it, trunk pan from tail lights to the back seat needs repair, rear wheel wells both sides need repair, lower rear quarters have filler in them, I think around the rear wheel openings have filler in them, trunk lid has the filler falling off it, but the underlying weld / patch work looks excellant, the drivers door bottom where it meets the skin and up the door at the edges about 12" is rotted out. One body mount bushing fell off while trailering. The good points, drove it on and off the trailer , 71,000 mi original, still has the air pump on it and working, front clip looks decent, buckets, console, tilt column, power bucket divers side, gas tank might be usable. Frame looks ok, Power window, power locks, air. No rear defogger , which I found unusual for an Ontario car. No cruze, AM radio, no trunk release. take care Bruce
I had a '71 very similar to that one offered to me for 'FREE' Bruce, with a stipulation that I would not part it out. After thinking long 'n hard, I passed on the offer, as I was just not prepared to take on another 'project car'. It had sat for 5 years, was a plain Jane with no creature comforts, and was just to far gone to bring it back to 'pristine' condition, without a lot of time, a lot of effort, and a lot of $$$$$$$$$$ !! :TU:
Randy, That is why I'm doing my 73 Electra as a 50s style custom, it's a rusty Pennsylvania car so I'm having fun with it without fear of destroying a "good" car, If I was closer to Bruce I'd probably be grabbing one of the Riv's he has recently acquired and doing the same with it (probably the 63)
