I want to get the rest of the usable off this one, especially the gauges. When we tried to pick it up with a bobcat with forks, the frame broke in half . I guess 20 years outside in WI is more than a frame can take.

I think I saw a 67,5 seat with headrest, that is money, and the gauges too.

Yes, This summer I'll be salvaging everything off those few cars that is even remotely able to be salvaged. The half year head rest is very rough but seems to be all there.

bring me a datsun shrubbery!

I've posted this first photo relevant to a few threads on here the past few years, but I never remembered where I had stored the rest of the series, from when I saw this sad hulk on a road while driving through Arkansas.

September 2003, according to the EXIF data in the JPEG files. For the shutterbugs among us: the camera was an Olympus D520, a whole 2MP resolution. A decade later, the backside camera on the typical smartphone does better than that.

Here, for posterior, is the rest of the Arkansas story:

I dragged home worse... Could be a goldmine for someone. Just saying..

Yeah dbrick I did go look at it , it has set there for 40yrs ...75 he says he has is sold for 500 ,a guy agreed to buy anyway.but he would sell it to me
the sides are IMO not fixable the rear qts are mostly lip rusted but the frame and other under structure seems better than marginal.
the motor is rusted bad, trans ok hood and trunklid very good as is the chrome trim eyelits and side moulding all there , bumpers straight but rusty . I'm thinking I would put the higher ring gear( maybe) in mine or the rearend
the windshields busted or I might have done it . has the cloth top frame though
where it sets now Is so muddy I don't think anyone will get it soon.

Chuck Grohs bought this car...seen better days, but had lots of cool stuff in it

Shape is familiar enough to place this one as a Roadster ignition key but it is so rusty it won't come out of the cylinder.

I found where the floor board used to be on a Roadster that has been sitting outside for a while.

A little chrome polish and it should buff out. Lol.

So I went to see this 67.5 hoping it might be a 2000 but it is a 1600. It is in very rough shape but.....
It has headrests in very good shape, top is okay, guages, most of the interior is actually in decent shape, the pulls, cranks, mirror, shifter, clasps look good. Body and frame are toast and the engine bay has been scavenged quite a bit. $300 for it all. I am sleeping on it becuase I have no use for the parts except to flip and sell them.

68-70 seats

Steering wheel in decent shape.
