    3. What year/model/body style?

    4. What is the condition?



    Your post leaves a lot to be desired. You need to provide this in your INITIAL post, and not leave people guessing.

    Certainly the back window stainless trim (be careful taking it off) is a piece folks look for a lot, and any other stainless that is not too dented or mangled.

    I'd bet someone would take car to rod or cut up for any useable parts.

    Beneath the headlights and above the parking lights are "Driving" or "Fog" lights (it depends whether they have clear or amber lamps in them). These are quite bent up, but valuable enough that someone might want to try to massage them back into shape. I'd suggest that you pull them off, but I don't guarantee that you'll get rich off of them. There may be a smaller similar pair in the rear beneath the tail lights. These are back up lights (or reverse lights, depending on what part of the country you call home). If you try to take them off, soak them very well in penetrating oil for a couple of days first. they're fragile (thus valuable) little things! I think I see an antennae. If the knob assy inside is in good condition, someone would buy it from you. It's held in place by a small set screw (you'll need a very narrow blade screwdriver). Do you have any idea if this car has (or had) overdrive? Even if the eng/trans is missing, there may be valuable components (relay, kick down switch, wiring harness, etc) left behind. Dash gauges, clock, radio, hub caps, and on and on. What's any of it worth? "Whatever the traffic will bear" usually sums it up. That's why ebay (for all of it's hassles) is still great. You won't get the highest dollar possible, but you will get top buck in a fair sized segment of the market. Where (what state) is the car located?

    If you part it out, I'd be interested in the passenger side windshield if it is not cracked and fogged.

    They Say You Only Get What You Pay For ! The Outer Frame Is Shot It's A Parts Car For Sure



    As For The Fog Lights Ken Amman Has Them New For $160 A Pair And There Great Why Would You Want To Play With These Ones When You Can Buy New!! Plateing Would Be More Than Kens Asking For His

    A location where one could look it over for any parts they need would help. I need a few things. Sent you a PM

    I am a dork - it's been so long since I've seen the window in back of my 49 I didn't see it!

    I'd buy that rear window stainless if you can get it off without too much destruction!
