    This car is INCREDIBLE! Minus the hood and windshield ofcourse. If you need green interior parts from a 4 door, this is your car! It was still tagged up to '07! All the door panels are prestine. And the seats were not even rusted underneath and in super great shape. With a missing windshield, they wont last long.

    What a shame. That interior will be junk soon with no windshield.
    That looks like a wreckers I used to go to up here when I was in high school in the 80's.

    what does he want for the whole car ( 4 door)? why can't there be yards like this in florida. all the yards here have crushed any old cars. if his price is resonable maybe we can work something out if you can save it and store it for a little while until i could get it picked up.

    It almost is, there is a crack past the hump past the instrument cluster. Other than that, and some missing parts, the dash in general is great.

    Dude, the orange one "up high" in the first pic is absolutely restorable. If you'll help me get it down, I'll chip in a few $$ for your time and gas money...

    :rofl2::rofl2::rofl2::rofl2:

    OK maybe not.

    ;)

    GREAT pics tho, glad you shared them. I love junkyards.

    mercgt73- thanks for checking for me. if it works out i am planning on building a sleeper for my next project. this car might be the one i'm looking for. did you happen to see if the underside is rusted out?

    My nephew from Frederick, MD is down for a visit and you don't know how tempting it is to show him this thread and send cash & a want list back with him!
