1967 Crown Coupe

[detmatt]

I’m using the engine/trans, front stub and some but not all of the sheetmetal body for my Mobile Director project. If you see anything you need just ask, if I’m not using it it’s for sale.
I’ll keep adding pics as I dismantle.

Ouch, that baby took one hell of a hard hit. Hate to see what the other car looked like. Good luck on getting you project back on the road.

 

[detmatt]

This seat was in it.

 

[detmatt]

Again, I will be using some of the sheet-metal.

 

[detmatt]

For those that don’t know about how I am putting parts of this car to use, you can follow along here.
So I bought this one today.


No wonder the derby guys love these, I don’t even think the bumper brackets are bent!

Some nice sheet metal there. Glad that it'll go towards keeping one on the road.
Since its obviously from a dry climate, I'm tempted to ask what you want for the ATC guts I see here...dreading restoring mine and I will likely need parts.

Oh, that's a Formal seat in case you're wondering...I want to say Dodge/ Plymouth.

Those windshield brackets tell me someone was getting ready to derby it...

Mr C I have a whole Nother ATC set up if you need parts I just might have it.
Thankfully this one didn’t make it to the derby crowd. Quite honestly I think it’s been parked in for so many years that it would’ve been difficult to get to until recently.

I will also say that the gentleman that bought the convertible will have the right of first refusal on some of this metal that I don’t need.

And here it is at the end of day 1.

Send the rear bumper to Javier in Florida- he could probably straighten it. Javier's patented bent bumper restoration process.

Lol

Quick weight loss program.

Swiss cheese would have been too kind to describe the roof under the vinyl top. As of now the only rust that remains on what’s left is just on the surface. I will even be able to use the entire exhaust system except the muffler.
The rest of the roof and the A-pillars are rust-free if anyone needs any of it.

 

[detmatt]

I forgot how much fun this was....

How many sawsall blades did you use?

 

[detmatt]

How many sawsall blades did you use?

It’d be just 1 if it wasn’t for the 3/8” angle @SGT FURY welded in where the windshield was. I use the angle grinder for most of it and I’m drilling the floors out with Blair spot weld cutters so that they make better patch panels.

 

[detmatt]

If anyone needs anything off the forward roof section let me know now because it’ll be going in the growing scrap pike out back if not.

 

[detmatt]

These rocker assemblies will be available complete front to back if needed by anyone. There’s nothing wrong with them.

 

[detmatt]

Good metal if anyone needs these pieces or anything from them speak soon, I don’t know how long I’ll hold onto them.

 

[detmatt]

Pretty soon I’ll be able to lean what’s left against the wall.

I might interested in the hold off valve for the disc brakes. The mount and valve look like what I need for my 68 T&C. Let me know if it's available and in decent shape. Thanks
