Hi folks,

Cameron and Phil, and others, from your previous experience, might be able to help answer some specific 1800 - 122 suspension compatibility questions I've asked, below, and I would appreciate your input.

I checked out the three 1800E's today.
It's a package deal and I'm going to get all three.
Nuts, right?

Maybe not:

'71E Automatic - Showing 072,000 miles. Last registered 1984. Complete
car. Leather seats and armrests cracked, but nice, tan interior panels.
Engine compartment shows evidence of clean, maintained engine before
sitting for 19 years. Some bubbling rust in fender and fin "valleys"
(sitting water?). Good chrome and tinted glass all around, except 2
dings on the hard round of grill surround. Very good fin spears.
No major through rust showing, but
needs further inspection, around wheels looks very good. Nice lenses.
Full A/C setup that has beautiful, complete underdash unit, perfect headliner.

'70E M41 - Showing 032,000 miles! Last registered 1983. Complete car.
Seats, armrests ratty but good, tan interior panels. Engine compartment
shows evidence of clean, maintained engine before sitting for 20 years.
Good chrome and glass all around, 1 ding on hard round of grill
surround. Very good fin spears. Rusted battery tray area, but not
extending into structural. Some surface rust, you can see where it
pooled and slowly evaporated in the fin curves, some through rust in
rear trunk area , around wheels looks good. Full A/C setup underdash
unit missing ducts.

My questions for Cameron and Phil:

If the mileage is accurate and it proves to have too much rust in the shell, the M41, dual circuit, inline-booster brake system, (possible) LSD rear end with disk brakes, matching front
rotor/hubs, wheels, even the B20, could end up in my "early" '67 122 with single circuit brakes.

I want to build an "upgraded" 122, with mostly compatible, but better 1800 components, and, needless to say, these could be VERY good donor parts with only 32K on them.

'71E M41 - Showing 129,000 miles. Forgot to look at last registered
year. Complete car. Some through rust in rear trunk area, but around
wheels looks very good. 2 dings on hard round of grill surround. Best
looking engine compartment, unless paper stickers, in good shape, were
replaced. Full A/C setup, with so-so underdash unit. Can't remember
what the interior panels looked like, but interior has been exposed to
the elements through a broken windshield.
