    Parting out a 68 225 vert project car. Good solid straight frame, the 430 ran when parked 2 years ago. Doors are mint no rust, very nice inner seams, nice solid trunk lid. Have pretty much everything except for the backseat, fenderskirts, and hubcaps. Located in Iowa, will ship parts. Let me know what you need.

    Patrick,
    The top switch works, $50 for it.
    The ignition switch also works and has the key $45 for it.

    I'll take the headlight mounting hardware and springs at a fair price.

    Thanks. Patrick

    I presume you are talking about the buckets, springs, and long screws that have the long plastic around them? If so $40 for all (set of 4) plus shipping

    Did this car have the "Electra 225" script on the right side of the trunk lid? I am painting a 67 and this is broken/missing on it.

    How much for the steering wheel (or is it cracked beyond repair) and does the car have cruise? If it does, I need the whole cruise set up, signal switch, wiring, transducer, cables, everything.

    Will you ship to Canada?

    It does have both, here are a couple pics. Both have all mounting studs/pins there and not broke. The electra emblem has quite a bit of pitting, the 225 is pretty decent.

    Here are pics,
    it has cracks around the center, and 2 small ones on the edge as pictured. There are no chunks missing out of it, it would be good for a daily river but not nice show quality.

    Cool, thanks for looking. I'll pass on that one...it will be going on a fresh paint job, so I need to find one in pretty good condition.
