Thank you for the heads up! Do you have photos of the A pillar interior covers/screws/fasteners?

PS: would you post the fender tag / door VIN tag, and what you know of the car's history?
 
@ayilar , I'm pretty sure I can hook you up on those. I know the A pillar parts were all there and the convertible plastic covers are good too.
As for the cars history, all I know it was in a scrap yard in 2018 when the guy I got it from pulled it out to save it.
He started yo do some work on it, but had too many other projects to give this one the attention it needed.
Unfortunately it sat outdoors since 2018 to bring it to its current condition.
The guy started the engine periodically and moved it around on occasion, so the 383 2V drive train is good.
Dash and instrument panel is good, 3 speed wiper works @david hill (if you're still looking), the convertible only back seat bench is not rotted, retractable seat belts, convertible only rear view mirror is good and the rear bumper is good too. I know the grill has all the small piece trim, and the headlight wiring harness must be good cause the lights come on and the wipers work.
It came with the rear glass too, but I know someone that could use that @71Polara383 .
For the fender tag collection...

Thank you on all counts!

Regina's A-pillar covers are in very good shape AFAICT, but a few of the attachment screws are missing and I am not sure about the condition of what the screws fasten to. So if yours are good, it'd be great if you could post photos (or PM/email them if you prefer).

For the rearview mirror, this is indeed for 1969-1970 'verts only. If no one needs it now, it'd be great if you could keep it because I'm pretty sure that someone will need one at some point (I looked for one for Regina for more than a year, before finding one through FCBO).

For the tag: I read CE27L0C25x1xx -- do you have a photo of the VIN to confirm the exact sequence? Or a close-up photo of the fender tag? The car is a pretty late build, June 12 1970.

612 SPD = 253xxx VIN range so 25315(?)4(?)

@sixpkrt -- as you most likely know, not only the rear seat but the rear interior panels are unique to the 1969-1970 'verts. I know of only one other (used) set that might be available, and none NOS. Definitely worth preserving.
 
By the time the car was dropped off last night it was too late to get better pics or the clean it up some, but here are additional pics for others interested in parts....

The front on the convertible top frame is rusted, but the latches are good. The missing grill trim piece is in the glovebox

My first thought was for the windshield but it is spoken for.
This is probably the place to ask the question, Is the convertible windshield the same as the hardtop windshield?
Is 70 the same as 71?
 
If it actually gets cut up and scrapped out I'd be glad to purchase the tags and any factory documentation.
 
Windshield is the same as hardtops. As noted, the windshield is not available.
The car will see its fate in a scrap pile as soon as it's parted out. Most of the metal is too far gone to save. You can PM me your address for the tag.
