    I just picked up an Electra I a keeping the motor and seat belts but everything else is up for grabs. This was a low mileage 1 owner garaged car but it has some cancer in the passenger front door and drivers rear quarter. Interior is black and is in great shape other than the drivers seat. Let me know what you need before it gets scraped.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    That car have glove box light & power trunk opener ?
    I'm loking to duplicate the wiring set-up in my Skylark with power trunk.
    The chassis manual shows an intermediate harness that ties it all together with the door jamb switches using factory connectors. Harness will be at/above the glove box area.

    Thanks,
    Steve Craig

    Herb,

    What is the condition of the coolant recovery tank? Is it horribly discolored or a bit yellowed but still translucent?

    Thanks,
    Dan

    Hello, does it have 4 note horn set up by any chance? Also, does it have the full size trunk mat in good shape? Is it a power door lock car? Thanks.

    After looking it over I really think it would be a mistake to part this car out. I will be posting pics of the car and listing it in the cars for sale forum, if that fails then I will part it out.
    Thanks
