Well it took all F'N day but I got the possible 74 LE car home. The frozen steering problem was fixed
when I found Nine (9) sets of keys in a box full of parts, yep it was the last key I tried that got the ignition to turn. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Next major issue was all the wheels are frozen solid, as in, won't turn. Had to drag the car 75+ feet to clear the house so we could get to the trailer. The next trick was to get it on the trailer. I nice neighbor lets use use his 1 1/2 ton come-a-long to help pull it up on the trailer. Next task after getting home is to get it off the trailer. Stopped by Menards and bought 2 sets of wheel dollies. These work get!!!! took us 2 1/2 hours to get the car on the trailer, 20 min to get it off and in the garage. So it's here. I am amazed that we didn't pull it in half, but we did open up the door gaps (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Here are a few pics. -Garold Attached image(s) ![]() |

QUOTE Whata think? I bet it is lighter than your car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) I honestly don't know why it didn't pull a part. There is NO front trunk, floors, rear trunk, longs are gone, wheel wells rusted out, doors are shot, fenders are shot, trunk lids are shot, bondo, and the list just keeps going. But are you ready for this......Windshield is perfect, no dash cracks, leather wrap steering wheel, seats and back pad look perfect, gauges look good. Of course they have 18yrs of dirt & dust on them but not bad. I honestly don't think it can be restored. I welcome anyone that wants to check it out to come by. Is there anyone in the Chicagoland area that has done a serious ground up restoration that could look at this car and give me a idea if it can / should be done. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Of course I still need to confirm it IS a LE, but so far all the signs show that it is. - Garold |
