77 Hornet Sportabout

[<mail@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I stopped into a car lot with a tired baby blue
sportabout. Straight body with a few dings, 232/AT and
fully equipped (A/C, PS, PB, etc). He is gonna Ebay
the parts if not snatched up quick. $400 buys it. I am
gonna try to see if it will run, he said it did when
brought in. The battery is dead and I didn't have my
tools with me. The only glaring thing wrong with it,
other than not running, is a cracked windshield. It
smells real musty and looked to have beeb sitting
awhile. Odo says 24K. It is in Brooks, Oregon. I don't
have the number, will get it if anyone wants it.
The guy had a porch full of taillites that he was
cleaning to Ebay. He said he bought Niles wrecking
yard out (Salem) so expect a flood of parts soon.
Niles only had a sad Eagle last time I was by. He did
have a set of Spirit and late year Gremlin taillites,
though.
He also told me that Niles had bought out Silverton
wrecking yard, inventoried everything and locked the
good stuff in a warehouse. He died just afterward and
no one knew about the warehouse on the property until
the deal was struck. What is interesting is that
Silverton Auto Wreckers closed up about 25 years ago.
He showed me a set of first year GTO taillites, Vette
bumperettes and a 66 Dodge console that hadn't seen
light in 25 years.
Anyways, if interested in the Hornet let me know and I
will post the number......Russ
