make it a journey of epic proportions, buzz down and grab that stuff, continue along and come see me and grab a hood and whatever other nonsense i can sell you. then we could go to the yard down in santa fe springs that has an early valiant and dart and you can collect some other tasty bits.

probably cross off a fair amount of your wants, needs and desires list in one fell swoop.

i know that heartbreak all too well. i just adios'd a bunch of small bolt stuff and early body bits.... only to be dragged back into the fray by the siren song of a junkyard refugee early dart. that's just how it rolls sometimes.

I got parts off both those cars. The Valiant wasn't even listed in the inventory.

Have a perfect uncut Dash carrier, a repairable front unrotten valance, and a few boxes of small bits - door latches, handles, unpitted desert stuff. Also a wiper motor and a few slant items left. Package deal if you bought it all. Alas the shipping on the dash sized box would be considerable, but believe i can get a "pirate ship" label from a friend who uses them. Dave S. southern NM
