Unfortunately chrome parts gave me just about 1 Grand....I could have them cleaned up, and sold separately, for more money but had no time to do so.
For the flaps, no, there's not much dirt on our roads here, except spring time where a lot of sand remains on the asphalt. I simply realized that some of the dirt was quickly sticking on the rear fender so I decide to go OEM way...
For the history of the car and the wheels, I do have the names of the five previous owners. I also have the original Protecto Plate, but nothing specific about the wheel. The car probably had the most common setup, white line tire and dog dish, but I decided to explore different existing possibility. I have found a woman, with the same name of the first owner, living in the same area as the car was sold back in 1968, but I'm not willing to call her. She's probably in the late 70's....and so many people can have the same name in the US...
BTW, according to POP, the only option the car had was power steering. No mention about A/C...but my mechanics said that it couldn't have been added at the dealer since it is installed just like the factory does...through the firewalls. Error on the POP ? Possibly...I also kept the power brake added by a previous owner, just changed that crappy chromed brake booster loll...but still on drum brakes all around.
Together with the engine compartment rebuilt, my mechanics installed RPO U17, together with the clock and tach. The repro tach burned out twice...grrr, still have to find the reason why...and install a third one !
