Title: Look what i found..
Post by: philo_beddoe on June 02, 2016, 01:18:45 pm

First one i seen since i bought mine.
This thing is a real junker, ball of rust. I opened the hood and there was a 6 in there. When i closed the hood, it started to fold in the middle. I need the fender emblems though. Whats the 400 mean on the grille?

400 on the grill means that grill is from a truck that came with a small block 400ci engine

That emblem does not belong on that grille. Someone stuck it on there. Are you going to buy it?

Its parked at an elderly community trailer park, pretty sure the owner will sell, i'm gonna low ball'em....say $100?, lol. What could i possibly pull off of it? (Other than the Bonanza emblems)

I didnt even know they came with a straight 6.

I could use it for parts. Find out what he wants for it. I don't need the bonanza emblems.

Ok, its not too far from me, i'll let you know. I guess other than that grill, i mean grille. It looks totally stock, factory air cleaner, everything.

Amazingly, those fenders look mint. And the doors, bumper, etc.

Hey, maybe its NOT really a junker...lol

Well they didn't make a 400 6 cylinder so you know there's been some tinkering there. Let me know what he says, if you aren't interested put me in line.

I found another parts truck today but he wants too much for what it's worth. I found another deal I think I'm going to check out this weekend.

Meant there should have been a 400 CI V8 under the hood.

VZ, i checked out that old bonanza. A really old lady owns it. She said it is not for sale. She has a couple sons (who must be in their 50's) that are going to do something with it. But somehow i doubt it.
