what where you thinking you should have got everything damn I would love a straight rear bumper I had a great score on a straight fastback here in so calif I got 2 straight I.E perfect front fenders and a perfect drivers door I wanted the passenger door but the car next to it was too close We got a NICE fastback popout window rubber (like winning the lotto there ) the fools that saw the car 1st removed the bumpers and hid them in cars near by we searched and found them front was nice but they piled so much shit on the rear to hide it they ruined it I am going back tomorrow to grab the bolts and decklid cable and ignition switch I wanted the hood and decklid but the morons at the junk yard didnt know how to properly open either so they used a forklift blade to pop the hoods. and sadly the windshield was cracked and a usal problem here in so calif the dash pad was cracked but I am going also after the dash pad trim too

I didn't notice if the ignition switch was in place or not. The steering wheel and column were there, so I guess the switch was too. I guess maybe I need to make another trip.

| Those front fenders look nice. I wish I were closer I would probably get all those fenders & doors. Sad to see they junked such a nice car. Any more photos? |

The right front fender is straight but has a rust hole about the size of a quarter down at the bottom where the chrome trim is. Rears look good. The right rear has a dent but it could be pushed out.
Here's a shot of the VIN to be added to the Type 3 Registry as Dead.
