Guest PTC Bob Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 I found Vin 1G4EC13C6LB901659 in a local scrap yard. Pull-a-part, south lot. Many items are damaged or missing. Here's what I know to be visually good:<span style="font-weight: bold">Driver's 16-way Tan seat</span>--no tears, leather looks good.<span style="font-weight: bold">Passenger seat </span>isn't torn just looks to be dirty.<span style="font-weight: bold">Antenna & motor</span>. <span style="font-weight: bold">IP & IC </span>are visually okay--without power can't tell much. There is <span style="font-weight: bold">1 wheel </span>without center that is in good condition. <span style="font-weight: bold">Motor and components </span>look okay now but, will be weathered soon.No hood on car. <span style="font-weight: bold">Radio</span>& <span style="font-weight: bold">Climate Control </span>heads look okay. <span style="font-weight: bold">Carpet-Tan </span>doesn't look bad. The car has a <span style="font-weight: bold">sunroof</span> that looks okay. <span style="font-weight: bold">Rear bumper </span>isn't in too bad condition. The body color is red. If anyone is interested...you better hurry..they don't last long, especially in this lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PTC Bob Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 I almost forget...Teves unit looks okay but, you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWC Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Wish I was closer I could use the Teves if it's in good working order, and the price was right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enoytsur Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 JWC, why not get your local Junk Yard to check it out or get it for you? Junk Yards across this country have the equivalent of the old Whoop and Holler communication system only using mondern technology. I live in small Sarasota, Florida and had my Junk Yard find me a Teves system in Ohio two years ago ... total cost was $129.00. A guy I know in Nashville got one for $159.00. The Buick dealership charges $1,800.00 for the three parts (not sold separately) that comprise the unit.See ya, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWC Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Problem is I live out in the middle of nowhere, the closest yard is probably over an hour drive and that's at freeway speeds.This is my neighborhood.http://www.oystercreekdesign.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWC Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I already have a new accumulator and would just like the rest of the unit, I think my problem (hard brake pedal only when its cold out) is due to a bad valve body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard S Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Just to let all know, Bob was in the scrap yard to take off some parts including the Teves, which would have ended up in Ron's hands to investigate the possibility of rebuilding at a reasonable cost. After struggling with the pin holding the fork to the brake pedal, a form of scrap yard inversion therapy, Bob was able to get all but two of the firewall nuts off before he was thwarted. The last two nuts separate him from success. I have done this job, but can't remember the secret to getting a wrench or socket around those nuts. In any case, I want to thank Bob publically for his efforts to get this project off the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 The "whoop and Holler" system has relly gone modern, you dont even have to go to the local salvage yard,An Audio shop put me on to this site while looking for a CD unit for my 91. Go to www.car-parts.com enjoy.. Hank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
