Reeves, both cars were automatics if I remember correctly. I'll take pictures of the cars when I go Friday. Are automatic pedals save worthy? As for the front end sorry I was very vague on what parts were left on the 71 it was a little more than the hood that was missing, the hood and both front fenders and the grill and bumpers. I think all the front suspension stuff was also gone. It did how ever still have an engine. If I remember correctly, the carb was missing of the 71. The 76 looked complete and was the 4 cylinder.
I did get some door handles in the short time I was there. As for the door closing handle I almost grabbed the green one but on the driver side it was a little cracked on the top due to Nevada's weather. As for the gage cluster, someone who had no clue how to remove it tried and broke all the plastic, including a few pins on the white plastic. The circuit should still be intact, if that's the case I'll grab the circuit. As for the 76's cluster I took that one for my Pinto. It was in excellent shape.
Tjm, the rear end of the 71 looked untouched besides the bumper if my memory serves me correct. So I'll check on Friday.
Thanks Tigger, I think I'll start on the restore of it.
One question about the factory recall on the pintos, are the recalls worth more or less? I hate the look of the recall ones. The recalls look to be even more unsafe by what they did to make the leaks happen less often.
