More boneyard Buicks

Tony
I'm new to this board, but am a fairly longstanding member of Adam's site
(buickcenturion.com).

I just finished restoring my 73 centurion convertible and have a few key parts left over. I have a good passenger side door with absolutely no rust. I also have a driverside door with a small rust through post at very front lower corner.
I have a quarter panel, passenger side. I only needed a very small patch that I cut out of the front/bottom of the wheel well opening. The remainder of the panel is intact and rust free. I've got a couple of good quarter extensions (maybe three) and two rally wheels.

Lastly, I have a gas tank with no rust, but with a pin hole that was caused by something hitting the bottom of the tank from the road. If you have questions, feel free to call me. I live in Athens, GA. Dennis... 770-337-0296

 

I saved this neat '63 Nova wagon from the crusher a month ago. It was in Florence, SC. I got it running yesterday. This can be a driver with a little work. It runs very good. I don't know why people would want to just throw good cars like this away. It even has the original owner book in the dash. Sold new in the Charlotte NC area , has a 6 cyl,power glide and p.tailgate.

 

This past week, I bought a '66 Olds 442 hardtop project that has all the body work done and a machined 425 Olds block with all new rebuild parts and includes the original 400 E block from a guy in Pinellas Park. There is a '73 Corvette hidden at the place that has been there for 20 years. It is wrecked in the front. Best part is that it's $500. Talk about a Jason Cook deal! Got the deal "Cooking" all ready. :laugh:

 

Shame to see a 73 Vette like that......good candidate to redo the front clip.

Glad to see you got the 66 Olds 442

 

I'd take that Vette for $500. Anybody would. Last (semi) bumper vette these were always my favorites. And this is one car you can almost build out of a catalog.

 

junkman do you know where i can find a 70-72 buick skylark vert. thats a junkyard find for sale????? did you sale that 68 vert cutlass???

 

Haven't seen any Skylarks lately. Sold the '68 Cutlass after I put an engine/trans in it as a package along with a '68 442 post coupe.

 

A couple more junkers just sitting going to waste.The one on the bottom keeps following me around where ever I go on the web.

 

wow junkman you sure do get around to see some awesome cars. Someday ill get to find a running 57 special so i can build the car i have had sitting on my wall for the past couple years. the front end of that car is like heaven to me.

 

Did you see the pic of the sad looking '57 Cabellero wagon I saw in a PA junkyard?

 

My old '69 Cobra parts car is FS in Columbia SC. A certain someone can post this back over at Performance Years Clubhouse to "update" everyone there since this person saw fit to post a couple of pics from here of cars from my "collection".

Ya got that 67 GTO?

 

I sold a '68 Barracuda yesterday and the guy traded in this cool '73 LeMans Sport Coupe if I knocked off a couple hundred. I did and it followed me home. Saved from an inevitable junkyard end. It's unique in that it is equipped with a factory sunroof. The interior is quite nice,too, and has p. windows. I also noticed that it has a heavy duty suspension with big fat front/rear sway bars.

 

nice bag

 

Nice.

 

I scored on a similar car once a number of years ago. Same color scheme, same louvered quarter windows. Mine was a '73 Grand Am. The Grand Am had the High Performance 400 w/ TH400 trans, and the Grand Prix dash and interior. It had a grill and urethane bumper that were unique to the Grand Am as well as the louvered quarter windows. One really fun car to drive.

Good luck with yours,

Ed

 

I'm just going to put it in the back with the other parts cars and throw a cover over it until I figure out what to do with it. I have tons of Pontiac parts and could easily put this one on the road though.

 

Great score, Ted. I love those year Pontiacs.

Hey everyone,

I am looking for parts for a 1974 Buick Electra 2 door. Anyone know where I can find a parts car?

 

Have a 73 4 door Electra green with 45k on it if you are interested for parts.

 

I was wondering who else would pick up on that...

Also...



Is that a '58 Desoto Firesweep I spy off to the left? Get more pictures of that thing if you could! I am not ashamed to hide my Forwardlook Mopar fetish!!!!
