That's the pick a part model, the business model. Just the way they work. Big car part sales are a struggle. Ask me how I know, have been selling online for twenty one years. Dumped a pickup load at DVAP six years ago, including some perfect '73 Electra metal - LF fender and radiator support. No buyers.
I wonder if the glovebox light switch and bulb socket assy for the glovebox light are the same as that which is found in the ‘70 Electra 225? If so, I could sure use the assy as mine, for some reason, was missing when I bought the car. Dave, just shot you a msg here. I got the spindles today. As you said, they’re in excellent condition. Thanks again, Paul
It's like this: for model year 1970 you could order a base LeSabre or a LeSabre Custom with a 350 or the optional 455 engine for the LeSabre Custom convertible. But, you could also order a third model, the LeSabre Custom 455. And that car came standard with the 455 engine, but a LeSabre Custom 455 (model series) convertible was not available. I took a few photos for you:
I bought the cluster and dash harness last week along with a few trinkets. Dash emblem, wiper switch, floor headlight switch etc. The dash shell is very good, only one center crack and the metal is near rust free.
Yes, engine, trans (turbo 400) and driveshaft are Gone. I didn't buy any of those parts. Too far away from any hypothetical buyers.
I was lucky with my Jag....only in junkyard for 3 days....I guess they hadn't done the paperwork. No engine, trans or rear. 500 bucks with title
Yep, back in the day [late 00's] was able to pull a '70 cutlass post tub out of an Albuquerque self service yard. Before "rules" were solidified, that banned sales of complete vehicles out of said pick a part yards. There was no title. It got blown apart and the tub went via transporter to a Guy in Wisconsin. Side post glass netted a nice local sale of 250, post door got sold, etc. Back when stuff could be sold.
