Looking for the following for my coupe. Ideally NOS or good used. Please PM me if you have anything listed. I also have various used spare parts for early coupes I could trade also.

 

-Hood release cable (new only)

-Dome light lens or assembly

-Glove box insert   

-Rear glass weatherstrip    

-Door weatherstrip, both sides

-Quarter glass weatherstrip, both sides

-Trunk weatherstrip

-Outer door glass wiper, both sides

-Hood bumpers

-Heater valve (new only)

-Rear inner trailing arm bushing (u shaped)

 

Yea right on the weather strip but may as well ask.

I'll be sure to set what I find aside for you.

 

There's a box of mixed stuff I have that still has some 72-3 stuff in it. Nothing too great as I recall but I'm pretty sure I or ctsuba have those cool bumper guards.

 

I can picture in my mind ctsuba's pile of those early glove boxes.

 

We have some NOS rear panels. Might be a 72-3 in there. Dome light almost certain we both have. Trunk lid , maybe and NOS !

 

Winter is here and storage not so easy to deal with but I'll keep all in mind and hopefully get stuff off before Your winter.

I have sadly decided it's time to let my 73 coupe and my over crowding collection of parts for it go.

I'm pretty sure I have a pretty nice rear weather strip for it. I just need to double check the dimensions to be sure. I should also have the glove box liner and some okish quarter window gaskets.

Sorry to hear your letting it go. I have thought the same with mine a few times with the difficulty in finding rubber parts. Once you get the chance to check your stuff, shoot me a PM and let me know.

So far that car has gone from an apple orchard in Washington to and industrial park in CT to another location to TN then back to CT east of the river ......and hasn't run yet.

And how many years ??? Lol

 

But you've gotta pass the torch and hope it doesn't die off.

It is ashame. I have most of the parts to put it together, but the only way to save that body is to tube frame it or try to graft it to another chassis. That was kinda my plan with it from the start but since all I've done is take it apart in the past 4 years I don't see it happening.

I didn't realize it was that bad. Sounds kinda like the car I got out of OK for parts. Basically everything from under the rear seats back was GONE. Saved as much as I could before scrapping it. I dig the early coupes, but there is a limit to how much work/money I'm willing to put into one. I mean, it's not like there's a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.....................

Yes. It's funny how the Brats and wagons can bring in so much money considering how rare the coupes were. But they are still awesome!

The rear window gasket I have is definitly for a coupe. It was around a peice of glass labeled 74 GL. Here it is laying over the back of my 73.

Here is an overall look. In the lite.

And some close ups. It's got some dry rot and some imperfections as it is original and seems to have been removed from a car for some reason. But it's in a lot better shape than what's on my car and my 74 sedan for that matter.

BUMP

 

I highlighted in green the stuff I will need soon. I fully expect to start reassembly in July and it would be nice to have the rubbers, if any exist. Paul, Nolan???? Hell, if someone has a good section of the weatherstrip I could try and match up with universal stuff that would help. All the door and quarter rubber was totally roached on mine.

Sure will try as I need to attack storage badly.

 

Rubber - The Great Restoration Dilema

I think I have the little stainless steel corner pieces for that glass, the set I have is slightly different than the ones for the windshield, and I always wondered what they could have been for. Do you still want those NOS shocks? I think I have the bushings for them as well

I need a gasket. I should have the trim somewhere. I do not need shocks anymore. Thanks for the offer.
