photos of my new Dodge Lancer 170 Wagon

I posted this in the wagon's ho thread but thought I'd start a thread for it by itself.
I'm going to need a few parts, so anyone with a parts car or parts let me know.
here are just a few of the things that I know I need:
a tail light lens
the hood ornament
blue front door panels
hubcaps ( I don't know what these are off of)
passenger rear wheel opening trim
a nicer grille
here are the photos.

I have a set of hub caps off my 61 770 Lancer.

 

[rapidtransitric]

what are your plans for it?

 

[37fleetwood]

well...
step one is to get it clean,
step two is to gather all the parts it needs, I'm not going for perfect, just nice.
step three paint and upholster it,
step four drive the crap out of it!

I collect old bicycles and wanted something cool to haul them around in.

I would drive that baby the way it is!

That's "real" patina right there.

I have the original hubcaps for this car if you have 13 inch wheels

Really super cool car!
How many cool cars do you need? Wait... don't answer that.

Hey, thanks for all the positive feedback,
you guys with the hubcaps, I am going with the 13" wheels, can you post the photos of your Hubcaps and what you think you might want? if you don't want to post them you can always send me a pm.

That is very cool. Gotta love unique rides like that. Looks very solid. What's under the hood?

 

[37fleetwood]

it has the slant 6. I haven't confirmed but it should be a 170cid. I have started it, it does run. It ran pretty crappy so I'll need to do a bit of tuning to see if it's going to be runnable. I've really wanted one of these for a long time.
I've found another problem, it looks like someone did some serious grinding next to the car and both passenger door glasses and the wind wings had lots of little pieces of metal embedded in them. I think I can buff out the stainless but the glass is now pretty pitted.
so I guess I need some glass.

what I have are the full wheel covers,will get pictures tomorrow.

here are pictures. asking $25.00 plus shipping which should not be bad because they do not weigh much

 

[37fleetwood]

I think I can afford that! let me know about shipping, I'll send a pm with my address.

minor update:
went out today and changed the plugs and wires, put some gas in the carb, and it started right up and ran smooth as silk until it ran out of gas. next step, check out the tank lines and hoses, change the fuel pump and see if I can get it to run on it's own. still have some electrical gremlins, and something wrong with the shifter, but now that I'm confident that it's going to run I can start tackling them one at a time.
