Saw a 4th genner in some weeds with 4 flat tires. Turned out to be a 4 door, 262 V8, auto trans with a 7.5 rear. Plates were dated 04 and it is in bad shape. Pack rats have devoured all of the plastic and wiring under the hood. However it has factory buckets and console. I never saw that in a 4 door before. The interior is red like mine and if they accept my offer I will use the seats and console in my 77.

I'll get some photos next time I stop by.

In the late 80's, my father worked with a guy that had a 4th gen 4 door just sitting, not running, at their job. Dad said it was a 350 4 speed car with console and buckets. It was for sale at the time but I still had the '78, no money and no place to put it. Oh, and it had rust. (I know you just LOVE rust, Philip.)

Didn't get a chance to look at it close b/c it was on secured property. Just the thought of it made me curious. Must have been a factory ordered car, not something you'd see on the dealer lots.

Here is a photo of the interior. It is a Concours model but in really sad shape.

The buckets look decent. Any tears?

Love the wrap around the steering wheel. They even took the time to get a color close to the interior !!!

I see black seat belt - what year is it?

 

[Philip]

It is a 76, my 77 with a red interior also has black belts.

The seats look good but are dry rotted from the Arizona sun. The first butt plant will probably split them open.

Well,, Did you buy it? I need some interior parts LOL.

I did make a deal with the owner. Hope to pick it up later this week. It is a 4 door so interior parts are different from 2 door.

Sounds like you're building a collection again.

Well kinda, it will put two 4 doors in the yard, but I really wanted the seats and console :yes: There might even be something else I could use, I didn't have time to take a good look when I was there.

Hmmmm. Now that I'm looking again, that dash pad looks pretty nice...
