    I stumbled on this 72 electra, as good as rust free. A few tiny spots here and there, and I thought this could be the one. So I get the fenders off, and there's very little rust under the cover at the bottom. I figure well since I'm at it and those inner fenders look pretty good and so does also the battery tray, well as good as they ever come. And then I think well the hood is in good shape too.. So the list is:

    Two fenders, having the optional tripple light on them
    Two inner fenders, with battery tray.
    One hood including the hinges and the front piece
    Two head light bezzels
    The glove compartment box
    And a hubcap full of spacers and bolts.

    This at 105$

    I just thought maybe I'll never stumble on another that has this little rust on it, so I'll have to go for it. Now I'm not sure where to put everything, but sooner or later the big swap will take place, I'll just have to read up on how to decide on spacers and other things that will come up. I also dropped the bumper on it, and it's in pretty good shape, except for the rubber on one side. Anyone interested? I think it's about 25-30$ for it. It's laying next to the car in the yard right now.

    Oh, I thought I got a reply away to the mail you sent me. Honestly I don't know alot about the options it first came with, but there are a few on there I could tick off on the list at the site. I'll get an email going to you later on tonight, I still haven't managed to get the hood out of the back seat so that will have to come first. As soon as that is done I'm off to home depot for some more shelves for the garage :grin: :grin:

    I took another look at my inbox, and I did get your VIN, but I would like to see the cowl tag info also. And also any options you can think of or happen to see on the list.

    Here is the 1972 Centurion Order Form:
