    Found these at the local Pull a Part in Birmingham, Al. The green Buick still had the nail head in with factory power brakes and power steering.

    The wheel on the D200 look odd like they were to big for the truck?

    Some cars are only good for parts. Those would be some real expensive four doors.

    I would get hoods, front fenders, dash parts, steering wheels, any emblems..
    and if you can get the nailhead.
    Anything you can that will help somebody else bring another car back to life.

    How hard is it to find parts for the Nailhead because someone had already got the intake manifold off of it but everything else was still there. It might be a runner because the car that it is in has fairly new paint on it.

    It's good to see that some of the pull your own parts yards are putting the old stuff in a separate area and don't very often crush any of them. My local yard has approximately 30 older model cars and trucks that they have located away from the later models.
