A decent grille, some trim and some odds and ends.  With some luck you can fetch some coin for doors and fender, maybe some patch panels for members here.  I don't think I would pay $2K for that though, there's just not enough there but I would contact him and see what those extra parts are.

Saw that yesterday Grill is supposedly in good shape, could be worth its weight in parts.

I think its a members car.

is it being considered for a parts car, or a project? :shruggy:

I honestly dunno yet. I like that it has a nice grille and complete engine compartment with A/C. Not necessarily good grounds for a resto! Want to make sure that there is enough parts there to be worth it.

what would scare me as a resto is if the title and vin tag are missing.(someone planning on using them on another car) if you had the vin tag, it shouldnt be too hard getting a title. :shruggy:

Can't believe I missed that part...69 A/C parts are a small goldmine.  They are one year only and I don't think you'd have those parts in the for sale section for very long.  I'd probably buy the heater valve and the heater hoses if you got the car.    :icon_smile_cool:

That's a 318 car and small blocks had different AC plumbing than the big blocks. I suspect that the compressor unit is identical but a different pulley but I know that lots of the hoses/lines are different.

You sir are correct, but I still think it would be an easy sell, not as high priced as big block systems maybe but still.

 :icon_smile_blackeye:  came out different than I was planning. Just trying to let folks know that the BB vs SB systems were different as it has been a problem in the past for folks buying parts.

:cheers:

When I picked up my car they gave me a SB compressor and were good enough to correct it when I went back for the rest of the parts they pulled for me from storage.

I thought that AC parts for BB/SM were the same for 68-70?  Huh.  Learn something new every day.

Good call, it is nice to know what the differences are before you spend your hard earned money. 

Yeah A/C is different for all 3 years, it's mind boggling but that's how Chrysler rolls.
