Sweet '66 Wildcat at the Boneyard

Hate to see this kinda low mileage car in a place that recyles metal. No rust, original paint, near perfect interior, no pitting to any of the chrome, who could do this to a car in such nice shape. Looks like it was raped for it's nailhead, brake drums/backing plates, power brake booster and steering column. Somebody should save this beast:ball:

 

Any chance you'll be going back there? I'm in need of quite a few things for my 66.

I couldn't help but go back to get a price from the guy who owns it, $1000 w/wrecking yard title:eek2: I gave it a real good going over and I think it is worth getting since it is so well preserved, check out the interior...

 

Straight Solid Body as well...

 

Lots of good stuff, I see a boat-tail in the background too..

 

Good eye:shock: . That boat tail actually used to be mine but I had to let it go, pretty solid '71 Riviera.

 

Looks good, keep us updated.

 

Well, she's definitely solid, looks to have the original single exhaust still intact...

 

Just looks like just surface rust and lots of good parts-better if it was a coupe tho. I always hate it when they stack the cars-some things are easier, but many harder and things get damaged

 

Is this car still at the yard?

 

I was there about 3 weeks ago & it was still there.

 

Any chance that you could take a look for some parts and ask for some prices next time you're out there? Take some pics? I've understood it as this is not a pick-a-part, correct?

Or do you have the name of the place, and I can try to contact them?

:Comp:

 

Try Dans Garage in google, he has a web page & does a lot of internet/ups sales. He's all GM, mostly a-body. The place is great, I'll bet he has at least 300 cars, he's running out of room & stacks them. He also has a couple of other storage lots with more complete cars.

 

Is he sane when it comes to prices?

 

That all depends on his mood, I've gotten some really good bargains at times and at other times you just can't reason with him.

I bought a nice 65 special turn signal bucket & lense for $25, I went back the following week for the other one & the price was $40. Once I reminded him he gave it to me for $25.

 

I'll try to call him, and we'll see what we can do.

Thanks for the heads up!

 

Most of the good stuff is gone, tail panel chromes were pretty perfect.

 

Any idea what the odometer reads? In one of your pics you could see it still wears spiral shocks co I would guess it is sorta low mile, or completely not maintained. Man do I wish yards here had that quality of stuff. ray:
