    misc parts for sale

    Hello. I need a good panel that the driver's side mirror attaches to for a power mirror on my '81. The back side of mine will not reliably grasp the trunnion. Thanks! Dave

    Help! 1981 power mirror issue

    THANKS! Have messaged them. I suppose a glob of epoxy on both places where the trunnion attaches would hold onto the plate, however when that stuff sets up, I could say goodbye to any future mirror adjustment.

    Help! 1981 power mirror issue

    For better or worse, my '81 has power mirrors. My driver side was attacked AT A REPAIR FACILITY. Easy to find replacement mirror glass (everybody has). Don't need trunnion (most durable part that everybody offers). It would seem that the plastic backing plate or panel that the mirror attaches...

    Question: 81 automatic getting ready to have a neutral safety switch issue

    Sometimes I have to wiggle the shifter to get Scarlett to start. Not real crazy about that. My wonderful shop manual gives no clue where it is or how to replace it even though it is named under the starter circuit problems. CLEVER! Can it be done from underneath while on a rack or is that too...

    Help! OK...did I do something wrong or was it Murphy's law?

    Soooo it wasn't Murphy's ghost after all! Thanks for the tip. I was scratching my head & kicking my own butt (mentally) neither of which worked until I started poking around in there with the screw-driver.:duh

    Help! OK...did I do something wrong or was it Murphy's law?

    My 81 seat issue......solved? Ok, after replacing the acorn nuts on seat hinge cover, seat REFUSED to tilt forward. I started poking around inside the hinge area from the front, between the cushion & the hinge with a small flat blade screw-driver. Felt something move. Seat is operational again...

    Help! OK...did I do something wrong or was it Murphy's law?

    I noticed that the inside hinge cover (driver's side) 81 model, was about to fall off. Sounds simple. You go to Ebay, buy a package of new acorn nuts & pop em' on. Right? Well...NOW the drivers seat back won't fold down. NOW WHAT? Thanks!:mad

    Temporary spare issue

    Hello out there ! Upon my inspection of my recent purchase of an 81, I found that it still had the original Goodyear P195/80D15 spare. It had never been on the ground. Still has the stuff from the tire mold on the tread. Being a charter member of Murphy's Law where sharp metal objects jump up &...

    It's been toooooo long!

    Hello from the Florida "Nature Coast" (that's west central Fl.). Back in the pre-internet days, there was a time in my life when I owned a 72 T-top, a 60 and a split window coupe (license plate was "63 SPLIT"). Seemed like I always had a wrench in my hand. Sold the 72 & 60 but kept the 63 for 25...
