A friend tipped me off to this 144 at Pick Your Part in San Jose, CA.
I bring it up for two reasons:

It's within a week of being scrapped
And it is really, really cherry. Looks like they smacked the crossmember on something and that put it out of commission.

Color 104 turqoise
Black interior

excellent dash & black door panels. Good bumpers. OK grille. M40/4.10 rear. Excellent front fenders. Valance is fixable, punched to the driver's side. Doors good but not all the hinges & strikers. Reupholstered black cloth rear seat. Great glass. I wish so badly I could get the rear wheel arches... Rear rotors looked glazed but fronts good. Girling calipers. 2 ok water pumps. All light buckets. Good inertia belts. Good brown carpet...

Most lenses and engine bay components gone or bad. Found a york A/C compressor in the back, looked big for a B20 but then again I've never seen one.

If you're killing for any of this stuff let me know ASAP and I'll call out the task force. Or I'll tell you how to get there.

Grab the rear end for the '68 if it's in good condition and isn't leaking. Maybe grab the windshield too as the one on the '68 is hazy and kills windshield wipers fast from all the high speed highway travelling, lmao... :)

Girling rear calipers would be a good idea too for rebuilding and tossing on the '68...

Couple things I could really use but I'm on the East Coast. Sent you an email. Not sure if it got to you.

Craig,

Thanks, I got it and wrote you back.
Now that I think of it, just email Ken (above) he has most if not all the stuff on your list, and I do have the switches after all.
