    This just arrived last week at UPAP (U Pull and Pay) east El Paso location - 12000 E. Montana (US 62 / 180)
    Le Sabre coupe, body is very solid, looks to be someones abandoned "project" or city codes forced its junking.
    Car is filled with possibly good parts - saw door panels, rear bumper shell, cyl heads, timing cover, etc. all piled inside passenger compartment.
    Side glass is loose inside trunk, as is tail light lenses (one is good one broken).

    Two many cars - drivers mirror is on L door and appears good - some slight nicks but no pits.

    Guyrobert - removed battery tray but discovered R inner skirt on this one is bad too.

    That is sure a problem area - even on desert cars - must be the leaking batteries.

    Rest of car is very solid - fenders, doors, trunk lid, rear bumper shell, and probably also hood and radiator support (except under battery area) Front bumper shell is gone, but headlight bezels are inside of car.

    Don't know - it is off car, as seen in one of the pics, it may? be buried inside car itself.

    you mean the window "fuzzies" - by this being a desert car, having probably sat outside for most of its life - probably not good.

    There is a place in Florida that sells repo window sweeps google under convertible parts
    There are 2 types for Lesabres make sure you get the right ones (common for all 71-76 GM b-bodies)

    Rear bar should? be the same as a 71 -76 Big Chevy - Caprice, Impala, etc, one would think. I have a 77 rear bar, loose, ready to ship, but it is one year too new.

    I could use the drivers side outside mirror if it is still there. I just bought a 72 Centurion and my outside mirror is broken. All mounting needed....

    ship would be to 50310 Iowa. As need tilt steering wheel compete to rag joint.

    Does anybody know whether the Front upper and lower control arms would fit a 73 Chevy Caprice?
    Condition?

    I should be going to yard this weekend. PM me if serious interest. Can pull and secure column with a small deposit - will refund if yard crushed car or it is gone / not tilt.

    The control arms should be the same for all large bodied B cars 71 - 76. The 77 - 96's used the "corporate" arms also used in the 70 - 81 F,
    75 -79 X, and 73 -77 A.

    Apologies newmexguy. Missunderstanding between my dad and me. He doesn't need the control arms anymore.
    Please give me a shout should you come across a 73 chevy caprice in comparable condition. My dad is looking for grille and bezels.

    was @ yard briefly today - car does not have a "tilt" column, only a standard one. Also - was not a 455 car, but a 350, heads, rocker covers, and timing cover are loose in trunk. Does have a "double" hump cross-member.
