Lloyd,
I figure I had about $900 in the pair of fenders by the time I paid for gas in the Suburban to go get them. I also bought a pretty decent hood from a different guy in GA for $300. It was very straight and no rust.
Sometimes I'm amazed at what people are paying for some of the 71-72s. There was a rough 72 Lemans w/endura I ran into locally. Partially in primer, multiple colors over the years, bondo in the fenders, bottom of the quarters, in the hood, slightly bucked hood. Advertised for $4500 and sold for $4200. I wouldn't have even bothered to fix it, and the parts were marginal, I didn't even consider it a good car to part out.
I finally got my convertible. 72 Lemans Sport conv, Lucerne Blue with white/black interior, auto with no a/c, 350. Super solid body. Excellent donor for the 455HO car.
Mike
