I've contacted the owner and he's sent me a few pictures. I only have interest in a few of the parts from this vehicle, so if someone wants to split it with me and get the sheet metal and 400 Cu. In. big block, I'm game.

Here are the photos I've been sent:











There are quite a few good Bluesmobile goodies and a few things I've never seen before; like short chrome door trim on a window with vents, for example.

I need a drivers fender but am short on 'play money' at the moment, otherwise I would love to contribute!

[Steam McQueen]

Thanks for posting the pics, LV. Looks like a perfect clip for a Blumo. Bumper has a dent in it but other than that it's great. And a tan interior plus an Elwood approved driver side wiper. Good stuff.

Ad has been deleted. Either a member here bought it, or the interest he's received has caused him to pull the current ad and he'll come back with a new ad with price increase. Or a derby guy got it.

[Lord Vadus]

Well, it wasn't me, that's for sure.

I hope the possible new owner saves the complete car. I like it.

[Lord Vadus]

I suspect it'll show up on eBay soon enough.

WANT IT GONE THIS WEEKEND

He was originally asking $850 obo, so see if you can get it for $500 cash. (ok maybe $700)



austin.craigslist.org/cto/3620741886.html

Then buy this '76 Monaco (also in Texas) for $500 cash (ok maybe $700) ...

Swap the front clip, tan interior, and back passenger door from the wagon onto the sedan (back door will swap, right?). Sell the wagon for $700 (ok maybe $500), and you've got a great start to a Blumo for $700 to $900.

I speculated earlier that the rear door from the wagon would swap onto a sedan but it turns out that is not the case. Here's the follow-up on that ...

But for sure the clip will work.

[Elwoodblues63]

Must have seen a few winters somewhere?

I just noticed that the station wagon has the same black trim along the bottom of the dash as the police models...
