    my father gave me this car last summer.

    Some years ago, at a crossroad of a 4 lane street, he was waiting to turn left.on just turning green light the guy in front of him in the "center" line was waiting that my father turn before to go. my father satrted to go foward and turn left and then he seen a pickup truck coming on the right lane at about 50 mph in a 30 mph sector... too bad!!!! bang!

    we dimounted the front end to try to start the engine( if it would'nt, we would call the junkyard) It started like a new!.

    We bouht a front end on an electra(not a park avenue), we drilled the fender to install the upper molding.

    Needed 2 engine mount + tranmission mount, rad, water pump, crank pulley, a frame front arm(cutted and welded, front suspension and cross member was #1, the other one was unbened)

    painted and go again on road!!! unkillable!:bglasses:

    now it nweeds a new paint..lot of chips on rear quaters, a ding ( tha i did some years ago)on rear driver door and another on rear driver quater:af:

    we took a month to rebuild the car by the evenings and week-ends (and keep it stored for one year before the paint)

    the only thing we never repaires is the A/C... it cost a lot:af: i don't know if someday I'll make it work
