My friend had a nice '61 (or '62 maybe?) 4-door when we were in college. It was going to be our randomly drive across America car. He ended up selling it because he said he couldn't find a replacement water pump and got frustrated with it and his family BSing him over it. That was back in '90. I basically told him he was a dumbass, but maybe I owe him an apology now. I'm still bummed about not being able to run with the Cadillac on that trip. We did make the trip though, but in another OT car.

what are you looking for?

NORCALCUERVO · 02-12-2012, 02:37 AM

door panels and seats and maybe a clean dash, bumpers, and rear window trim. Mine is a 2 door so must work

wvenfield · 02-08-2012, 04:43 AM

I have engine parts. I might still have some stainless but it's from a 4 door.
