I meant to say "bumper emblem" not hood! I cleaned it up, it presents itself well and the pics I took of it show both front and repaired back side. You could probably run the thing over with a bus and the repair wouldn't break. So far I removed the side trim (mostly complete), wheel opening mouldings etc. Calling the yard to have the front bumper removed while I am at work tomorrow if possible as well as the white seats. Hopefully for pick up Sat mid day. Grill is good to, gonna take that too. I'll check the rear bumper out too, I don't remember it being too good, maybe a core. There is also a real nice 75-76ish LeSabre in the yard too. Haven't even begun to look at that yet.
Forgot to ask, are the tail lights good, I'm interested if they are the ones with the seperate retaining rings. Mine are intergral, but I have a pair of NOS that need the retainers. One type is "early" and the other is "late" type, so I'm told. PM sent. Thanks again Bill White
At this time the trunk is closed, I found no keys. Back of the car is rough (quarters are bad) Trunk lid looks ok at least closed, not sure under the lip. Dash pad is an AC pad. I have some pics available. PM me with your needs and an email address and I will send you pics of what is there. Yard will not pull anything for me, I called today. I'm gonna go soak the bolts with WD-40 to remove the front bumper if possible tomorrow morning. It will be 28 degrees early tomorrow here though! If I get there I will pull those front fender lower pieces for you. Along with some other folks needs.
Marauder I did not get your pm? It is not in my inbox? Send me your email address to nerozzi01@epix.neto No:
Dash pad is AC, black pad great shape. Send me your email address and I will send you pics. nerozzi01@epix.net
I pulled your 2 parts off the front fenders. Driver quality, obviously not perfect but great a for driver car, great cores too if that's what you plan to do and I believe they will present themselves well on a car. They didn't look bad on the car in the yard. I paid for them today, $40 will cover it for both.
Gonna be taking a trip out to pick more parts off the white 1970 Wildcat shortly Pa weather permitting. I am going to take the front bumper off (looks to be a great core/driver quality) had one extra hole drilled in behind the emblem (already sold to a nice lady in ALASKA of all places) which was hidden by the emblem and could easily be welded closed if it really mattered. along with the grilles, grey headlight bezels and white seats front and rear. I had removed most of the lower dash screws, glove box etc to eventually remove the dash pad. Hood looks nice too complete with hood letters and thin chrome at rear. Stuff is driver quality but where else do you get it? Looks to have a great set of black seatbelts too. Let me know. You guys might even have it tougher than me finding parts for my 65 LeSabre convertible! Depressing isn't it? Buicks are great cars with little after market support. I'll tell you what, that car must have been great at one time! 455-4 w/ turbo 400 (long gone) posi, white on white with black and white interior. I'm sure it had the road wheels too (long gone) fast w/ class FOR SURE!!!! Somebody had some bucks that ordered that thing new. I hope the build sheet is still under the back seat to actually verify everything. If I didn't have 2 Buicks already, it almost makes me want a Cat like that. My luck I'll part it all out and then I'll find one!!!!!!!!
