    I know she's a little new for here, but fun to drive the vegas strip in!! Anyone know any good yards or online places for interior and top mechanical parts, all I have found have outrageous prices! Would like to find a junkyard near vegas!!!! Also anyone who understands how this damn scissortop works!!!!

    Hey,

    The pages of Hemmings Antique Auto News are full of Cadie an' big GM drop-
    top dealers. Yeah, big bucks, but it's a Caddilac!

    If ya don't want ta pop for a shop manual, try a local library ta photo copy
    top repair.

    Thanks, but I had no luck finding used parts on google, thought this might be a good spot for info, always is for my 54 chev!!!
     
  8. They also have a thing called "eBay" .....

    Buddy gave up and s****ped a fairly solid '72 Buick LeSabre convert - no one would pay even $200 for it, but at $70 a ton he could fill it with **** and get that for it, so...

    probably the same top and mechanical stuff. Hasn't been squished yet but it's full of junk. I saved the top motor, switch and wiring, and that was as far as I got before it got filled back up again. PM me if you want anything, I could see what I can do depending on the weather etc. -
