Lightbulb Hypothetical Question, Who Needs What Parts?

I have come across the opertunity to aquire up to a half dozen assorted 1st. gens, plus a google of other parts. I have to take all of it in order to get just what I want (owerner went up the river, disgrunted wife wants it all gone!). I didn't really get to see what all was there (was dark), but there is two GSL-SEs that I know of. I'm taking the best of the suspension from one of em to convert my S.

So heres the questions (please use the poll too!).. Is there anyone in the Arkansas reigion that needs a chassis (or complete cars)? Would anyone be interested in complete (non-running, they've all been sitting, so who knows..) 13Bs? 12As? Sheetmetal? Interior pieces? Sus. pieces?

(Sheetmetal that requires use of a plasma cutter, i.e. quarter panels/wheel wells/rocker panels/floor boards, will also be available, but prices might suffer due to the fact I don't have a cutter!)

I really don't want to gut these cars and send em to thier grave, but if there is enough of a demand, I will. I will ship anything, but the heavy stuff (anything that I have to freight) will have a small handling charge. You will only have to pay the EXACT shipping on anything I can UPS. I'm really not looking to make any money.. If I was, I'd buy the lot and make a few drivers and sell em that way. So prices are going to be veeeeeeeeery CHEAP! Like for instance, $100 for a complete 13B (injection, wiring, ECU), plus shipping. Prices of course would do down for a less than complete engine.

I just feel that I'd rather share good parts with people that love and respect these cars. If I pass the deal up, I will be more than willing to share the source for a discounted price on my suspension

After this poll and my decision, I'll post a thread in the "For Sale" section for request, and I'll list parts available. Please feel free to list stuff you need here to give me an idea..

Thanks
Ben

That's a great find! Oh man, I wish I lived closer to you, had at least two of my projects finished, and had some extra cash lying around. I'd then be able to squeeze in a 1st gen project.

I could use a 13B, though. Nah, I've got to control myself. I already have a 20B and need to rebuild two 13Bs and a 12A before the end of the year.

NateW: One of the GSL-SE's I looked at had burgandy interior.

Yayarx7: That order could possibly be filled. I won't know until this weekend when I have time to go back out there and check everything out completly. And once again, it would be cheap!

85gslsecontime.....: I live in Russellville. I think its about 2 hours from Mt. Home.

Russellville, eh? I'm in Springfield, MO...

SE underpinnings would be AWESOME to have around. Spare 12A's never hurt, either.

I'll be in Branson MO in Oct. & Nov. I might be able to talk my wife into letting me pull parts while there. I'll look up your location and see where you are and if this will work out. A second of everything GSL-SE would always be nice. I should have a trailer while down there too.

I could use a good 84-85 SE logicon (with un-worn buttons) and all the AC relays.

DriveFast7: I'm going to assume this was a factory ratio? If it was, tell me what model to find it in.. And it would be alot cheaper than $250..

There are aftermarket parts. BUT I'm going to be an ******* and take all the goodies Whatevers left over I will list and sell..

Ritch: I'm about 3 hours south of Branson. Plus the drive down Hwy. 7 is one of the most beatifull (and fun if your in a seven ) drives in the country.

mwpayne: You've got me stumpted on this one.. What exactly is a "logicon"?

Keep the request comming guys!

Thanks

I'm looking for driver and passenger side door panels (Black). I prefer that they came from a power window operated FB but the manual window door panels would be fine.

Oh and some black seats would be sweet.

the logicon is the heater - a/c control unit...

I wish I had the cash and was closer, I'd love some -SE suspension, or even a 13B.

I need some dead 12A housings to practise my porting on - but methinks the cost of shipping to the UK would be a tad too much

But then again - how much do you think postage would be for the housings? (rotor, end and middle housings). I don't need the rest really, so that should keep it (fairly) light

That's the push-button controls for the air/ heat.
