    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.

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

    If it's used stuff you are seeking, try Desert Valley Auto Parts in the Phoenix, AZ vicinity.

    Get off your wallet. Plenty of stuff out there but most of it seems to be top dollar...

    A lot of parts for a '65 Chevy Biscayne are one year only. All the catalogs jump from '64 to '66. I've had good luck with www.allamericanclassics.com/ . Their prices were good too. If you look on their web site, they will list the cars they have.

    Stay away from the guy in Vegas. Goes by Cadillac King or something. He quoted me a price of $1500.00 each for some 49 rear fenders. Wayyyyyy overpriced.

    I'm having a hell of a time finding some of the things I need for my '51 as well. It seems like they are out there but you'll pay a premium for them. I found a few things I needed on caddydaddy.com. They aren't cheap, though. Best of luck.

    How about 1600 dollars for door panels and 1/4 panels!! That's what they want for them
    He didn't say arm or leg but damn I thought that was going to part of the deal. Anyone know who's got some.
