410 pass is closed, you will have to do 12 or 90. It is a just drive it. Bushings and fluid would be simple. I have three clusters on the shelf, some other parts I pulled at PnP years ago. Not going to six million $$$ man the car, but can do some fix.
Chrome is old, the whole car is old, and not been loved the way a garage queen would have been. I could find pnp parts with enough time. No hard top, so no defog issue. Fans work and buttons work on ACC. No indication that AC works, but at least it does not blow blazing hot air all the time. Seats are not shot. Could use sheepskins. Carpets are old and really could use replacement. Old horse hair smell and musty carpet. There is rust in the hollows of the rear shelf. Not too deep. Enough metal there to save with POR-15, then paint. Floor has small rust spots that would be fine with sand and paint. clay 1972 220D - Gump - She is green, simple and ran 1995 E300D - Cleo - Used by the Queen of Denial POS 1987 SDL - Beware Nigerian Scammers On Feb 16, 2012, at 6:40 PM, Jim Cathey wrote: >> The real issues are the transmission having an over-broad neutral. > > Nylon bushings? > >> Checked cold ATF and it was over full.
