R inner skirt shipped to Guy Robert. Along with battery tray. L fender and front bumper with accessories sold. am going to be picking up R fender and L inner skirt next week. They both are near perfect. Can anyone use: Trunk Lid Hood and or hood hinges Rear bumper Radiator support Air conditioning parts - suitcase, liquid lines, condensor. Radiator is gone, shroud in broken up into pieces. L tail light bezel as seen in pics is still in trunk. WP and crank pulley still on untouched long block engine. Distributor (HEI) is in place. Air cleaner lid - 455 4V on cover, base may be loose in nearby cars. Car has three? horns. Is that the usual option?? Two are on inner L side of radiator support, and one was inside of L fender. Did not see a place for a fourth horn. Does that three, make a four note horn??
Purchased R front fender and L inner front skirt yesterday from the parts car. Very good condition. Fender, according to Hollander fits all full size 73 Buicks except Riveria. Fender $100. Inner skirt $75. Before shipping, bus is most affordable should be able ship either one to Midwest for roughly $75 per piece.
Car is still in yard as of yesterday (3/7/16). Extremely low scrap prices are keeping cars in yards longer down here. this particular yard is filling in an area of 25 to 35 acres with cars piled five high in "storage" (away from general population) in a wait for higher prices. Unprocessed scrap cars reached a "bottom" of $27 to $35 / ton here, down from a peak of $265 to $275 / ton roughly eight to nine years ago.
If you need suspension parts - control arms, spindles, disc brake parts, etc. they are the same. Divisional interchange started in 1971.
I am looking for the grille and the bezels. These are unfortunately plastic....ou: an specific, to year , make AND model. In other words I do need a Caprice. Thanks anyway Patrick
A FYI for anyone looking to buy here. Newmexguy is one of the most helpful and honest guys that i have run across dealing with sellers on the V8 board. Tom
post a picture of what you need i think i have tail lights for the car i pulled off a 4 door years ago if you want them they are free just pay the postage to germany
If anyone might need doors, or other metal parts - Hollander (42ed. 1974) shows the following: '71-73 four door H.T. #2297 '73 hood is apparently a one year deal #949 '73 - 74 share trunk lid, probably through '76. Car is still in yard, to the best of my knowledge. Still have the RF fender #1667, and the LH inner skirt as well.
Additional pics taken today, 4/25/16. Car is still in U pull it. Radiator support is very good at bushing points.
Picked small trinkets from the car - lower grille, which was loose in trunk, the rear license plate pocket w/ lights, one rear backup lense, and the rear bumperettes off rear bumper. Front directionals are still loose in back seat area, along with front valance, and a single tail light assembly, but none are perfect.
Would you be able to take out the Center Chrome piece on the top of the bumper- in the middle, located just below the rear licence plate holder ? In your picture no. 5 the chrome looks quiet good. I believe, you would need to remove the rear bumper to dismount it... But maybe this is the Part you named as "licence plate Pocket" ? Thanks for a short answer, Steffen
