Andrew was just in WV. Doh! Yeah,pics or a phone number or both,please.

Well,fun has a price.:-\ Probably worth a few hundred to a thousand if you catch the right fish.Have more fun with it,put some love into it.

Nice talking on the phone to you guys.I had so much fun all by myself,wish someone was there to share the joy. Really it was a great day.After the first few wiffs of chicken poop and pee you don't notice it that much. Barn was nice and cool today!!He opened a huge double door right by that last bay.I backed my car right about up to the bldg.And then I opened the swinging "twelve foot drop" door for some crossbreeze.Very comfy. Naturally it was a real dose of energy to go through that ....err...crap,and be like a kid on Christmas day.I loaded the wife's Legacy and the Sears snail pod for full redneck effect.Car sat low but behaved mostly fine all the way home.Gas mileage really wasn't bad at all. Like you care,eh???:-p Well,like I said.......wish you were there.

Woke up sick,just leaving in a few minutes,no time to chat.....I'll be there around 1:30-2:30 as long as I don't have to stop to be more sick..... :-p

No,there was no way I was giving up the 56k parts it yeilded.Unfortunately at the time I saw the car as too much to handle and parking was no existent.I tried like crazy to give the shell away but nobody wanted it.Would've been a great lowrider project.Onward......

I'm going to Linglestown just northeast of H'burg.Exit 77...I think. "The Barn" Keith,Jon in PA,Matt....you guys know where to go.I'll have to get the directions on the fly,but I went there twice so I'll be ok.I just can't remember all the street names,and we approached from different directions each time. Jonesville Rd?? then cross over.....1st left...under highway take left...? The early 70's stock. I expect to roll into town around noon,earlier is at all possible. Matt and Keith should have my number. Of course,I realize it's short notice and it's going to be like 95 degrees outside and 115 inside.....so pleae don't go out of your way.......I'll get by on my own. Might have my son with me.I've got just a '96 Legacy wagon with a Sears topper.(nice 'n redneck looking)...so that means there won't be a whole heck of a lot of loading. Thanks for looking.

Sweeeeeet!

Stick around,we'll all clue you in. Value depends on condition,of course. Can you take some pics and post them here?It's pretty easy,even I can do it. Check out the Photo Gallery and give it a shot if you have a digital camera. I had a '76 GF just a couple of years ago or so that I got from an old lady too.It had 56k on it,always dealer parts,etc....and I got it for $150. It was in pretty good shape except for one back corner underside where the trailing arm attaches to the body.I had too many cars at the time and it nearly killed me :-\ to send that car to the crusher. Might be worth $2,500 or more if it's really sweet.....but the market is kind of small. I have or will have lots of parts that you might need.Feel free to email or send a Private Message through the Board. Good luck with it. Paul

Aww come on guys,I know the golden rule here......throw you lunch/beer/gas money...

I'll be back down there soon.Our friends are on Basford Rd. right near that little 4H club or whatever it is on the corner.I need to finish some built-in bookshelves and some other work around their house....which was obviously built by some scumbag contractor. Is Tim still at Autozone,do you know? I'm pretty sure he'll check in here when he sees "Frederick".

Oh well,what can you do? It's the east coast.

White walls or you're a rapper wannabe! white walls white walls!!!

OK,so I'll ask again for kicks.... Anyone near there that has time for snagging the door panels if they are 100% intact? Anyone who can go by and take pics for me would be duly honored and possibly compensated for their effort. Please please please check the Historic Forum and print the "Wish List" thread.....please.Or at least print my post within that thread concerning my '73 GL1400 Coupe. But on top of my list there may be some items in the yard car that I didn't think of so please,any pics would be greatly appreciated. I kind of went through this scenario before.One really great west coast guy got some parts for me because he said there was an older Subaru,etc,etc.....long story short the parts were ok but nothing I really want for a restoration.No offense to that guy,but in the future I'd like to see what I'm getting.Especially since we can pretty much count on a '74 having been rusted,beaten on,weathered,etc.. As always,I'll toss some lunch money at least for an effort. Thanks!

So far I'd call the THE vintage find of the year in the Historic Forum,considering price.It's the base you need.Nice score!

Back burner Bump to the top........

I thought you said last time that it was inline to be crushed,or something like that. That wagon needs to be saved,no doubt.

Yeah,a '75 for historic reasons would be ideal,to me anyways.Shoulda never crushed the rot box I had but it'd have taken thousands of dollars or hours of time to make it presentable again.

Well,I would have gotten it but you know the deal....parking. Good luck to the new owner. I'm sure you'll be back in the vintage mode soon.

Thanks Mick. So,what's there left of it?:-\ Sounds like you called me in for dinner to see an empty plate,Shawn.:-p

OK,thanks. So,can you think of anyone around you who might be going by there? I always expect to pay for people's time.

Shawn,did you notice if it had a shifter console at all? Thanks,I'll try to call on Monday to see if they'll help me out at all. Do you know if they'll rip 'n ship?? If not,they need a junkyardGabe on their crew!!:-p Before I pester you (sorry) can you draw on your memory and maybe give me a little more detail about the seats all around,and the rear panel behind the rear seat? Anyone else in your area from the USMB who might have time for a better look and parts snagging? Again,sorry,but you know how it is with these cars.I think there's less than a dozen on the roads.These cars get crushed instantly in rust zones. Thanks for your help.

Greg,I don't mind you guys sharing expenses at all.But the last Canadian guy apparently never paid the taxes he said he would....still waiting on proof....I guess it's not a big deal to him that FedEx is busting my stones....so,let me sit down one night and figure the taxes and shipping to you,and I'll include the other guy's in there and you two can divide them up in the great white north. No sweat on the timeframe as long as you say you'll not be backing out. OK,I'll try to get a speadsheet going later.Sorry,but I tend to only have about 10-20 minute sessions on the computer,except late at night.

Well put,and certainly worth shoving in people's faces a second time.

The exploded view shows it setting in from the rear,outside. BUT,you'll have to pop the lid mentioned above and remove the shifter rail by means of first removing the shifter fork.....from looking at the drawing. Shifter fork is retained by a 5 x 22 straight pin.Four Philips screws and a tiny punch and hammer,then the seal is yours for the picking. Todd,if you score that seal,can you please snag one for me too? Thanks! Seal size -12 x 22 x 5 Talk to you soon.

Or Masonite.The material used is really close to masonite.Can easily be dampened and formed overnight for bends and curves. You'll probably try to save your existing panel,and I don't blame you,so let us know what method you chose.Be sure to make it nice so the bobble head dog has a nice place to lay down. Remember those?
