Re: Adding to my stable...

I don't think the key cylinders in the late models will fit. They changed sometime in the mid to late sixties. Peter Stathes (www.amcrambler.com) rekeys the old locks, he may have some extras also. 

That's a nice find if the body isn't beat up and rusted (doesn't sound like it)! Put that tissue dispenser on e-bay and you'll have a free car provided it cleans up good. Those things are hard to find and desireable for the show crowd.
