Wanted: 64 Buick Fullsize 4 door hardtop driver window frame; also hood cowl

Discussion in 'Parts wanted' started by BamaWildcat, Jul 8, 2005.

  1. I need the chrome window frame (espeically the bottom horizontal bar) from a 1964 Full Size 4 door hardtop car. This can come from a LeSabre, Electra, or Wildcat. It specifically needs to come from a 4 door car, and needs to be a hardtop, which means no post between the front and back doors.

    I also need a good, solid cowl from one of these cars. It can be from a sedan, hardtop, 2 door, or four door. What I am referring to is the piece of metal that covers the vent inlet area/windshield washer area and has the two holes for the wiper sticking out of it.

    Please let me know if anyone has these parts.

    I have a drivers door window frame froma '64 Wildcat 4dr hardtop. The chrome is in great shape but the channel for mounting it to the rollers is broken, will this suit your needs?
     
  7. Taylor,
    I'll have to look at a different window I pulled from my parts car to answer the question for sure. If I am remembering right, I just need the frame itself. Any other piece of hardware outside of the four sides of the frame is not necessary. But let me check for sure.

    Joe,
    I went and got the frame I have from my garage and the channel is actually still intact and very solid, $40. Let me know if you would like to see a picture or want more details.

    Thanks for your interest,
    Taylor
     
  9. Taylor,

    I am very interested. If you could take a single picture, I would appreciate it. I am still waiting to hear back from Greg as well.


    Thanks,
     
  10. Hi Joe
    sorry it took so long to get out to that car
    the 64 wildcat that you got the chrome from still has the doors on them
    what do you need exactly i guess i need to ask
    this is a none post car
    no center post between the doors
    i think i sent picture back them but my camera seems to be on the blink when i try to download them to my computer
    somthing like that in the $25 to $35 range he says
    if you need what comes off the door
    let me know for sure
    thanks
    Greg
     
  11. Greg,

    Here is a picture of a back window, just so you can see the guts. I just need the frame assembly from the driver side front, not the glass.

    I'd like to give you first shot with my money, as you responded first, but let me know. It might not be worth your effort for $25-35 to pull it, whereas Taylor has one sitting around. Like I said though, you responded first.

    Mine is completely rusted out, so I am looking for a "solid" piece. Pitting is OK, but I wouldn't want anything worse than that.

    Greg

    Please make sure the permanently attached rollers are intact.

  15. Taylor,

    I would like to purchase your window surround, if it is still available. The one Greg located was not a good piece.

    Do you have the piece of the frame that closes it all up, or will it come exactly as pictured?

    Please let me know.

    Thanks,
