Look What I found on the Wife's family ranch

Does the Tempest still have the slant 4 in it? If so, PM me......

 

( uhh 28 chevy)ghost

 

Not sure. I'd have to check next week. It's about an hour away.

 

That's a $200.00 carburetor on that V8-60... Stromberg 81

 

dang. neato.

 

Here's some more pics from the boneyard. I threw in the pump and lubester for our Canadian friends.

 

Sweet. That Tempest is a 2 door. Hmmmmm.......421.......dual quads.......4 speed.......Can you say AFX????????

 

I sure could use the tailgate off the dodge truck... please....

 

Wow, a little gold mine there! That Chrysler dash is worth quite a bit to the right person.

 

I love those astro dome Chrysler dashes. Is that model the "cash register" or the "neon needle" model?

 

Regarding the tailgate, I'll check next time I'm up there. It's my wife's cousins and I'm sure he would part with it. I think there's two. The other one is a flatbed but I think there's other parts for them in the back of the trucks. I'll check with him when I see him in a couple weeks.

 

I am not in Mopars but that white car would make a cool family cruiser! Look at the design..........then go 10 years newer and see how shitty the 70s cars looked in comparison!

 

WOWEE!
That is a really nice gravity feed gas pump! That lubester is really something else too.

That V8 is definetly a V8-60.

 

No kidding! I think it has every bell and whistle available in that year. It would make one hell of a grocery getter. As the story goes, The breaks went out on my wife's uncle and he ran it into a ditch (thats what happened to the front driver side) Drove it there and left it 20 years ago. He said he could fit half the team in it when his kids were into sports.

 

Hey I've got one, I keep it at the end of my driveway

 

Probably a water pump, irrigation or for draining the swamp

 

No debate, it's a '61. We have a 2-door Newport that looks just like it. There's a lot of expensive parts there, but it's so hard to find a good solid one, it might be worth building -

 

my brother had a 61 New Yorker, it was cool, it had some weird stuff on it, like a rear air conditioner (complete with comp. fan, vents) in the trunk, and giant motors for the windows in the doors. The dash is lit with what they called Electro luminescent, the front bumper took two guys to pick up and move. You could to VW huntin with it and not feel anything when you hit one. The 413 would suck a gallon of gas in one block from a dead stop with the pedal mashed. It was pink and bronze, gaudy enough to find in any parking lot since it would have a group of people circling it, pointing and saying ' what tha....'
save it! it is a fine example of Exner's work at its best.

 

Thanks so much, If you could measure length and height, it would be appreciated as there are a couple of different sizes out there. thanks, Bud
