A couple of nights ago an idiot ran a red light, getting t-boned by the driver with the right-of-way.. the idiot, did a 180 and hit my P-1800E in the left rear..
I haven't started arguing with in ins co yet, but trying to locate a source of sheet metal parts..
I'm going to need the driver's "B Post" where the striker is fitted, the complete outer LR fender from B-Post to trunk seam under the LR Tail Light, The sheet-metal "oval housing" where the tail-light lives (the light assembly is fine, the impact tore the light right out of the sheet metal). The "area" of sheet-metal between the trunk opening and the tip of the "fin" on the LR quarter from the back window to the tail-light housing, the "outer half" of the wheel well, the inner LR fender (it's double walled) and a complete trunk floor pan.
All sheet metal pieces MUST have the original "factory seams".. no "torch jobs" please..
An "option" for me is to obtain a complete "left half" of the rear of a '70 thru '73 P-1800.. Providing it's in the north central Texas (DFW) area.
No junk, No Bondo, No cobbled-up mistakes from some body shop.
Reasonable prices only. I own & operate a small Restoration Shop.
My '71 P-1800E is under 100,000 miles, has been in the family since '75 and only had one "minor" altercation by the original owner.
This P-1800 came from the factory with the Mag wheels, Metallic paint, BW Auto then had Dealer added A/C, AM/FM radio and Luggage Rack. I'd like to keep this car a few more decades ;-}
BTW, the late model Mustang that hit my P-1800 was disintergrated with body & engine parts spread out over six lanes of traffic and it's occupants taken to the hospital. The FD had to cut the top off to extract the injured. The Volvo drove home just fine!
Any help appreciated, Please contact direct at "BISHOP-13@ispwest.com"
Thanks..
Charles.
