That same thing happened to me last year. I came across a guy parting out a '67 Riv with all the options. (minus motor, tranny, r/f fender and a few other parts) So I bought the whole deal from him........saved everything I could off it (right down to the Jesus clips ) and the best part of the whole thing was the 3.91 posi rear on the thing. I'll prolly never use it, but that part alone is likely worth twice what I paid for the whole car!  |

I never find those kinds of deals! That makes 2 of us. All the Montes I see are rot boxes or butchered, or they want an outrageous amount of $ for a decent one. And try finding an 86 Shelby Daytona parts car in decent shape! |

Good luck finding one around here in good shape! Maybe down south or out west if you are willing to travel.

That's great that you can use a lot of parts from the car.

my speedometer is way off, most parts will sit on the shelve I`m taking parts that are useable and stock piling, mopars parts are hard to come by, also
i`m real fussy with the glass I hate scratches, I replaced the big rear window when I had it off, and the winshild.
