Parting out a 1973 Convertable

[hermanrodriquez]

2119212021212122212321242125Well.....I got the car out of the shop and guess what????? I blew the engine...bad oil pump:Dou: Now I'm taking my dads engine and putting it into the repainted car. SOOOOOOO I'm parting out my dads car. Let me know what you may need. I'm in Chicago Land for those who would like to take the parts off. Let me know what you may need.

[Robroy]

Lets see if I got this right, you blew the engine on your beautiful red 73 convertible...:shocked: :eek: gosh, very sad to hear that :(.
Do you have an oil pressure gauge in the car and if not, did you ever measure it with a shop gauge?

I’m looking for the ends to the body side moldings, I’m lacking three of them. The type on my car was installed by the dealership (Wallace Buick Portland OR), see the pict below.
I have no idea how unusual this type of body side molding is…:confused4:

[heavycenturion]

Herman,

Does the clock in your dad's car work? Available.. ? How much?
Thanks
Dennis

[hermanrodriquez]

Sorry guys, I don't have the end parts or a working clock. Sorry......

[birminghamer]

Is there enough to left to salvage the entire car? Really my only concern is rust, the rest I can find.

[hermanrodriquez]

The car body is in good shape. The amount of rust on the frame is not bad. I would'nt say good. Something worth looking at. I'm not sure how much work you want to put into the frame.

[Buicken]

I need the pichwell molding that goes from the front of the rear quarter windows around the edge where the trunk meets the top to the other side. Also need bottom left side of the trunk stainless trim.

[hermanrodriquez]

Both fenders look to be in good shape. I'm looking for a left corner light and trim bezel. let me know what you would like to do. I'm taking the car apart in the next few weeks. Where are you located? I'm in Chicagoland.

[ptrs33]

[hermanrodriquez]

Not Sure. The car is al together right now. I have my friend who owns an auto body shop taking it apart. Once the car is stripped I'll see what I have on the floors. Keep in touch....I'll let you know.

[racerjms]

Can I get your number and call you.. You have a lot of parts that I need.. or email me with your number jose@m-mdrywall.com

[hermanrodriquez]

Dennis, I know a guy who rebuilds clocks if you want a name.

[buicks4ever]

I need the trunk lid stainless and also interested in the bumper impact strips, maybe the whole rear bumper if it's straight. From what I can see in the pictures, it's really a nice looking car. I almost hate to see it parted out. I'm in Chicago also. Interested in coming out and looking at it. Thanks, Mark 815-347-6569

Hi,

If they fit a '72 convertible, I would be interested in the front grille, the hood latch assembly (bottom portion that attaches in front of radiator), and the rubber impact strips (both sides) off the front bumper. LMK.

Thanks,

Sebastian

If it's not too late, I'd be interested in purchasing the Centurion that covers the trunk lock. These were a 1973 only item.

[cols73]

How about the front licsence plate holder?

[heavycenturion]

Sorry! Both those items have already sold.
Not much left at this point. I'm down to the shell, and planning on using the rear quarters myself.

Thanks

Hey there. i could use the electric window buttons and connectors in the doors. leave about four inches of wire on them and I will splice into my 72.

Thank you.

Perry

I'm on the east coast so I can't come there and get anything.

[Arcdevilz]

Do you have the hood hinges?

[Dave Besselman]

I need the left rear window regulator. Please give me a call if you still have it. 610-637-5763

[takis]

Wonderning if I could pick up the Buick decal on the trunk and the upper part of the back seat ?

[73 Centurion]

Hi Herman,

I know it's been a while but I was wondering about the condition of a couple of parts and if they are still available.
The bits are circled in the attached pic. I have these parts but mine are pitted not worth rechroming.

Are you interested in selling these parts? If so what shape are they in?

I'd love to see pictures of how you'll use the rear quarters to repair your car.

Thanks,
John
