    There just MAY be one at a local yard, but access is really tough, as the access road was washed out at a bridge, and one must take about a 12-15 mile detour between the yard and the main shop he works out of. I know that it was either a 73 or 74 LUXUS, as I thought it said LEXUS. Possibly still standing in water! Lots of rain since Hurricane Florence doesn't help. (I have another member waiting for parts from that same area...

    Its all there,but the plastic does not look that good.Also the bottle for the antifreeze has a crack in it and the 2 covers for the windshield washer and the antifreeze are missing.Bruno.

    Hi Chrisk,these are the pictures of the shroud.As you can see its mostly OK only bad part is a crack where the antefreze goes in.But now day's you can use the rubber molding that will seal no problem.In case you are interested,all I want for this is $30.00 plus actual shipping.Let me know what you decide.Bruno.

    Can't help you with those parts,when I had the car there's was no call for those parts,so I junk it after taking the motor and trainy out.Had the same car in a Big block,did the same thing.Will let you know what shipping is,after I package it.This is going to take a big box,so shipping is not going to be cheap,but you will pay only that amount.Bruno.

    Again, the bridge is out, and we have had so much rain since Hurricane Florence (18 out of 24 weekends have been rained out...), I haven't been over there to THAT yard because of the detour required. There are several 73-76 Century'sin BOTH of his yards, but only one was a LUXUS, which is in the big detour yard. Most of the Centuries had a/c as best I recall. I imagine that they all A bodies of that era used the same A/C box, just different faceplates for that model.

    Ok well let me know if you ever do get a chance to go and come by the parts I need, I'm interested in buying them. Guess I should also mention that I'm also looking for a firewall heater box (with AC), firewall evaporator box, the ductwork and the front one piece grill for this same car (74 Century Luxus).
