The grille shell is worth twice as much as the car!

Nice score! If you wind up parting it out, I might have a list of small parts that I'd be interested in.

And now for the parts....
The grille shell is pretty good, much better than the one on my car ![]() Parking light housings aren't great ![]() Side wings are bubbling quite a bit ![]() Headlights trim is perfect! ![]() Front bumper has a large bend underneath, lots of surface rust. But honestly probably better than what I have. I'll how it cleans up ![]() Hubcaps are probably only good to mount on the wall now ![]() These rear wings are show quality ![]() The taillight trim is not terrible ![]()

I can use the BTV brake components if I want to return mine to original. Should be a good core to rebuild.
![]() Instruments ![]() I think most of the stainless trim is there and on the car ![]() ![]() Power antenna still in one piece!! I need this on my car. My mast was broken off before I bought it ![]() ![]() Reupholstered seats and door panels. Not correct, but not a bad job either. I can't use them, so I hope somebody else can ![]() ![]() ![]()

Is only the solid piece at the top of the antenna bent? Or the tubing also?
I could use a manual antenna for my 55. I would need all non-standard mounting hardware and the little boot included.

'55 400. Needs aesthetic parts put back on, and electrical system sorted.

The top is bent, and the rest is a bit bent too. I think I can unbend them. On second look I don't think this is a power antenna after all. I may still end up using it for my car....not sure yet. I won't be using the radio but I don't like how my mast is missing.

Actually, wait... I think it is a power antenna. Motor mounted way lower than the 55 style, IDK if it's even compatible then...
