Gensaiken Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 I found a 610 in a wrecking yard yesterday (although i'm not 100% if it is a real 610 or a rebadged 710). Its a bit of a drive for me to get to but let me know if you aren't finding any sources for parts. Consider me sort of a last resort. Sucks about the damage. :( Quote Link to comment
zerow Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 I am glad to see that you are all right. Shaken up is better than dead. I have a rad support, from 'Fred' the parts donor. I do not need it for the sedan. As for fenders, well, you know... And the valence, wherever the one I had has disappeared to, I hope it is at least comfortable. Let me know how I can help. -0- Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted June 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 hmm well i was playing with the fender today it looks like i could possibly save them but the valance is done just if you could keep your eyes pealed for a valance a hood and ill definatly wanna get that rad support from you if for nothing else a guidline (would have to find somewhere that would weld it in for me) Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 Dude you should not be driving on those tires. If you can't afford them, go behind a tire outlet where they throw the used ones and dig around. I used to do this before I needed them and kept my eyes open. Eventually some really good used ones end up on the pile. I even changed them myself at home with a tire iron, a board and soapy water. I know this must sound cheap but it's safer. The 33s I have on my 620 now, (that my wife bought me) were the first ones put on by machine. Glad you're OK. Quote Link to comment

One night he put his '69 Charger front end against the local IGA parking lot wall, and proceeded to pull a 4 minute burn out. Tire exploded! Smoke was unbelievable! The provincial police would drive through town once an hour so we had to hurry to get it changed. Friggin' rim was too hot to touch! Left a small hole in the pavement for years. He was a maniac.

Blinn Ave. Wilmington Ca.. 1 green 1974 710, its not a 610 but its close enough no? Motavated, the 710 has a completely different front end. He *could* use the headlight buckets. Jaimesix may be interested, as he has a '74 710. I will be looking at my usual spot tomorrow for Bonvo, I knew of a '76 610 wagon about a month ago, hope it is still there...? Quote Link to comment
