• 1959 Parklane Conv. 430 cu in. w/air Frame Off Restoration

And now for the second parts car that showed up this week. Once the Convertible is done I should have a few parts left from these to offer for sale.

One of the reasons I really wanted this particular car.

Engine Compartment

And all three together.

Kind of a motley crew.... We have already started ordering parts for the convertible. The tear down will commence the beginning of 2013.

Cool. Can't wait to see the show.

The restoration is starting! In the following posts I'll provide photos of what we have to start with, factory markings / documents that were found, and a few surprises that came up. Click on the photos to enlarge them.

While the goal is towards originality. We will be adding some NOS, and restored original parts that did not come when ordered for this car, but could have been ordered from either the dealer or the factory.

#2 Remote Mirrors
