I have found a fairly well preserved parts car, a 1973 Bobcat HB. I was wondering, before I go and spend the money to have this thing cut apart and shipped to me, if the rear quarter panels, front fenders and floor pans for this are the same as on my 1977 Bobcat. I don't know much about the earlier Bobcats so I'm kind of out of my element here. Any help would be appreciated.
Follow up question - if I can only afford to do one of them now, which would likely be more valuable, the floor (need it) or the rear quarters (need them as well)? The fenders on mine are ok, but hey, if you're having a car shipped in parts, get'em all while you can, right?

...a 1973 Bobcat HB...
No such animal.
What would it cost to ship the entire car intact? If that one is good, just built that one.

Bobcat did not exist untill 75. and yes parts the same 75-78. also what is wrong with the other bobcat(73) that you can not get the thing shipped whole. From what i understand you can get a car shipped coast to coast for around $700.

The car is advertised as a 73. It's just possible they don't know entirely what they are talking about. It's listed as a parts car, and I'm not entirely certain they will ship the entire thing. I can ask the question, but I don't really know. I get the impression it isn't a titled vehicle. It is at a yard in Arizona, and I would consider doing something with it if I could, but I like mine a little better. Also, the interior is completely gone, it's just for body parts.
You could just do a re-body-ing of your car using the shell of the AZ car. Much easier to deal with sheetmetal issues if it isn't rusty. If it is a 74+ car, it'll be the same as yours from stem to stern. If it is a 73-, then the engine compartment is different. Good luck with your car/parts purchase!
