Boss, what I NEED are two front fenders, but there is a ton of stuff I WANT
I'm attempting a thorough and correct restoration on a 68 GTO and in the past I've found that having a decent tempest/lemans parts car with V8 and AC sitting outside can provide a vast amount of small things and information.
The problem has been ... a: finding a car with the parts I need that are salvagable
b: finding one that has those parts and enough additional parts to cover the cost of the car and the substantial towing bill. I found just such a car 20 years ago... not sure if I can repeat the feat again.
I'm giving this search about 6 months ....if it doesn't pan out I'll be back to trying to get the parts individually.
Need list is: both front fenders, glove box door cover, lower control arms (probably a set on the way soon)
Wants: Rally instrument cluster or at least the clock, full set of correct date plain steel wheels, maybe a better valance panel, and a thousand different original OEM nuts and bolts.
I know what will happen ....I'll find one so nice, and for such a good price that I can't NOT buy it, and it will be too nice to part out, so it will leave me in the spot except with less money
