Parts needed for 66 deville convertible

[dl456]

I need a rear decklid and front bumpers for a 66 cadillac.

Anyone know of a good source?

Thanks

Dennis - Not being a wise guy but put "66 Cadillac" in an Ebaymotors search. For whatever reason, there have been a good deal of caddy parts. I'm restoring my 76 Eldorado and have been pretty lucky lately.

Thanks Johnpaul,

We do search e-bay and as yet have not seen any good sheetmetal or bumpers with good ends. As this car still seems relatively modern to me, I'm suprised not to find more in wrecking yards , etc.

Will keep looking.

There is a Junqueyarde near me that has a gold mine of older cars. I know of one '66 Eldorado, and 2 '65 and 2'66 Fleetwoods. IIRC, the rear ends are all in good shape.

This is in Eastern Virginia, but they might ship elsewhere.

The owner just had a heart attack, and may not yet be back in the office. His wife is usually on duty. If they don't remember the whereabouts of the cars, tell them to contact "Jim, the Cadillac guy", and I can make an excursion some Monday or Friday this summer. You can give them my number (804) 693-2490, and you can call me yourself. I go there for mental therapy, and just roam through the time warp. I don't like to go much in the tick and foliage summer season, but if it means it will get your car back on the road, I'll do what I can.

Jim,

Thanks for the info. I will follow up with the yard and let you know.

Many Thanks,
