parting out a 68 Newport fastback:

[bulldogchesty]

No engine, tranny, center section is gone.Interior is blue and in good shape. I have cut off the left quarter to use on my convertible.

Lots of good stuff there. Hope your keeping some spare parts for yourself.

Hows the panel right below the back window?? The dutchman panel. If its good and you can cut past seams shoot me a price.

 

[bulldogchesty]

It is rusty.

 

[68plymouth383]

Ok. Thanks

What's up with that strange air cleaner housing, Dave?

 

[68plymouth383]

It looks like a poly air cleaner.....

Also looks like a Ford 289/302 air cleaner.

I was wondering the same thing when I opened the trunk. Any idea what it goes on?

 

[commando1]

A ratrod.

It's off a Mid 60's FoMoCo engine. Probably a small block. 260/289. Maybe a 302

It likely has some value to a ford guy if undamaged.

I'd like to see that to go on a genuine daily beater rod as-is.
Kinda cool in a cheapskate kinda way.

Looks like alot of the cars I've been coming across down here in the salvage yards.These things seem to rust out in the weirdest places.It really would've been something if they used some good metal protection back in the day,but my guess is they weren't expecting to get fifty years use out of these things.

That WAS! state of the art 46 years ago. Read a '68 brochure and read about their rust proofing process. For the times, it was fairly thorough.
Plus the guys on the paint line had xx seconds to do each car as they sped by. NOW, all painting is robotic.
