    Are there parts available for these:
    1) Top
    2) window to top rubbers /seals
    3) door seals
    4) the windshield bow is rotted through.

    It has basic rust issues, the frame is not one of them
    Some one has done a patch job on the body , it looks good from 30 ft away
    The interior is in good shape.
    Comes with a rod knocking 350 LOL, PS . PB, AM radio.

    thanks
    Bruce

    Oh I think the top is the least of it's trouble.:laugh:

    It looks good, actually a rust bucket, someone did a body job on it some time ago, now it's starting to show its age, lower doors, lower front fenders, are starting to bleed through, someone recently did the left rear quarter but forgot to to attach it to the outer wheel house. There's a new alternator and battery on it, the frame needs some repair, Oh the motor has a rod knock.
    The interior is nice.:grin:

    From the photos, it looks good...with the exception of the goofy hood ornament :puzzled:

    Bummer about the rust!

    Nice find. The hood emblem, looks like a Electra 1969 bumper emblem.
    Is the emblem for sale? Goran

    The hood ornament I was referring to is the one on top, along with the hoos spear. The trishield emblem is correct for the car.

    Hi,
    The hood ornament and spear are off a Grand Prix, the hood spear is about 1" too long and hangs out over the hood:grin:
    I've been watching it all summer on Kijiji.

    I don't see any rear fender lip on either side :Dou:

    thanks Bruce

    yes...sans the area where the C pillar is for the hardtop. FYI - 4 door quarters are different at the top. The "fins" are much taller than 2 doors or convertibles.
