    So you're going to part this thing? Is the tail light panel solid? I'm looking for one.

    You may be surprised how well that sport wheel will clean up with a little work.

    Good deal for sure.

    Don't know what year for sure but I think they made a 9" rear like that in 1957, maybe a couple years after that but not narrow enough to fit in a mav/com. It could have been narrowed, but those dics are retrofitted either a kit or off a granada/versallis(spell), I couldn't see the calipers. Great find Robert!

    if you are close by come and get what you want. not shipping
    I have the 73 comet on the lift and stripped off all I want. all that is left is sheet metal and a 6-cyl....floor and trunk are toast. front glass shot...with a gun.:huh: rear glass good and removed.
    have the ldo seats and all the interior removed. so when I say there isn't much left but sheetmetal I ain't a lyin.

    I've taken off the modified grill and tail lights....don't need them not going to crush but could work up a trade. Doors are setting outside tarped.
    Jamie
    roof an the rear panel are in good shape.

    Can't use the lift till I get this one off and I need to get the maverick on it ASAP.
    An as you can see from the google map I have a few.

    I'm going to pass on it. I'd grab it if it was a roller, but since it isn't and I can't pull it on my dolly, just dosen't seem worth the trouble of dragging it on and off my car trailer.

    I snap a few when I get home....

    I have left the 6cyl , radiator and most of the dash, lower part of dash was broke.

    still has the am/fm 8-track:dancing: Whats sad is I still have the Doobies and the Eagles on 8-track...there I go showing my age again.:oops:

    the body just sat in the woods to long for any usefull floor metal to be used. tail panel is in good shape, roof and both wheel wells could be used.

    If nobody wants it by monday then I might pull it out and take the plasma cutter to those areas and save them.
