    Any update on the overflow hoses?

    I'd be interested in the vacuum hose for the brake booster, specifically the intake-manifold fitting.

    I should have more intake fittings. I’d like to leave that engine together and running,to see if I can sell it whole,but I can look at that one to match it up with.
    Brett,
    I will be attacking this on Sunday.

    It’s supposed to storm again today,but Inpulled it out to take a few pictures.
    Bret,
    That hose looks like a replacement with the original clamps re-used. It’s not ribbed.
    The B-pillar plastic trim is the nicest I have seen in a long time,especially for a light color. Some minor flaking at the bottom edge of the driver’s side,but not all dried-out,brittle,or broke.
    The dash pad is straight and not sagged,BUT there is a hairline crack over the gauges.It might be better than others.
    Both rear wheel well trim are dented or flawed.Fronts are good.
    The grille is all there,but 4 of the bosses have recently broke away,showing fresh clean plastic.
    The seat belts are the deluxe with the stainless buckles.
    The driver’s side rocker spear trim has two dents
    The rear window stainless has 3 good pieces. The upper left piece is dented.
    The engine starts right up and runs good.It has the original distributor,carb,alternator,etc.
    Straight and rust-free fat lip 70 hood.
    It has the dome light lense with the rings.
    More pictures and report to come this week.

    Gotcha.

    How about the longer, thinner hose that's affixed to the top outlet of the overflow? It's about 24" long.

    Thanks for looking.

    How is the frame condition? Looking for a frame to install my backhalf frame into and tossing the rear section. The back need not be perfect. Just looking at ideas..

    Please set the dome light aside for me for a couple days. I found an NOS lens but need to verify it's the same style. I have really nice housing. Might take yours regardless.
    I've got a convertible frame here that I need a back section for (same as hardtop) so...

    Nasty,
    If you want one to cut and modify,the one in my 72 would be the best candidate among my selection. All of my frames,including the one under this car,are mint. The one under my 72 is just as nice,but I have drilled extra holes,massaged a few areas throughout the years,and it has rollbar stubs on it. I hate to even cut that one,but it’s not exactly concours quality.

    Also, off this car or in your stash, do have any really nice orig. interior door handles &/or window cranks?

    I have an assortment of window cranks.

    One good spear rocker molding. Has a scratch in it,but can be worked out. The other one has two decent dents that I wouldn’t mess with. I have the 4 metal clips for the ends with the screws.
    Driver’s fender is better than passenger fender,but they will likely need the same amount of work.

    Body side moldings:
    I have all 3 pieces for the passenger side,but only have the rear 1/4 piece for the driver’s side. Not bent or damaged,but the long one for the door has the black inlay curling at each end.

    Just some random pictures. Always cool to open things up to see what you find. Someone found a nice RH chrome mirror and oiled it,smart. Trunk mat. Chains in Georgia? Old Poston and Year None catalog. Not sure if the jack ever left the trunk. Anyone looking for hubcaps? It lights up at night!

    Brian, I'll take the B pillar trim for both sides per my original reply. Still looking for all of the windlace, radiator top plate and headlight buckets and retaining trim pieces. Please let me know final cost and shipping to 12009. No rush as the car won't be going back together until winter and you've had a lot of replies to respond to. Thanks.

    White colored plastic interior parts are the first ones to go brittle to dust.
    The post coupe B-pillar trim is hard to find that is not damaged brittle,so white B-pillar trim that is in excellent condition is a win win.

    Buickwagon,

    I'll take the B pillar trim, all of the windlace, a set of headlight buckets and retaining rings. If you've got a decent radiator top plate, I'll take that too. Just let me know the total with shipping to 12009 and i can paypal you if that works. I've bought from you before so I'm not worried about quality of parts, etc. I've been very pleased in the past. Thanks for the pics!
