I'm set for life...
Better than what I've got.For Stan...
It's beyond me why someone would rather let those cars disintegrate rather than sell the parts or cars to save another. There's no way in hell the owner will ever do anything with them if they've been sitting long enough to have a stack of numbers from interested parties.While I was standing by the rental trying to get an address off of my phone for the place... a guy pulled in, he wasn't the owner... but assured me there was a stack of phone numbers from those who tried to buy them before, and that they were not for sale. At least I had permission to take better pictures than I started off with.

Currently intact 78 cam and motor. View attachment 132542
Update... the cam fell off the arm... free to anyone willing to attempt to use it as a pattern.Remove it intact (ha ha) and have it scanned for a 3D printer. I can't think of a more appropriate use of these printers.
Absolutely... I will hoard the stuff I want, but there was lots of opportunistic finds that I would be happy to part with. I have no need to try to cover all of my expenses with this... I did it for fun.Any of your findings up for grabs? Or all personal stash? I did see a few things I'm interested in.. despite our earlier conversation. Lol
For you or anyone else with a request... just tell me what you might want here in the thread... we can work out $$ later. I am half way packed with this and plan to arrange my shipping Tuesday, if possible. It doesn't make much sense to ship it twice.Any of your findings up for grabs? Or all personal stash?

I thought of you when I picked up that mat... it's in great shape and pliable... translucent black... It's yours if I get to see the almost matching front you picked up. You really cut me to the bone with the other items... but I will see what I can unpack and bring with me... I'm not going to leave your car looking bad just to hoard some spares. The mirrors are staying, sorry... but once I have figured things out in FL, I have been collecting bits and pieces for rebuilds... so there is hope I will have something for you I can mail.At first glance, I see! Remote mirrors, rear floor mat if black, fender wheel arch moldings and door panel curtesy lights. Dibs if up for grabs.
I'm going to talk to fastenal today, if I can... My pick up in Orlando will be easy, just need to iron out a drop off point.Sheezus Jeff, that's a lot of parts! You should have rented a spot at Carlisle and give Murray a run for his money!
Nice job!
How you gonna shop that back home?
