DatWifey Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 There's a '72 521 at the Lynnwood Pick N Pull. I don't think we managed to get any photos, but the face of the dash was decent, the driver's door was straight, the back glass was good, the headliner looked nice, and a hood that was laying in the bed still had the emblem and was pretty damn straight, just might need some spot welds to attach the under frame again. The bed was completely rusted through, windshield was cracked and fogged to shit, and the pass door was dented up, seat was covered with a basic sewn cover over the torn up stock seat cover.

wayno Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 well dub tee eff mang. Someone throw me a bone Here is what is in the area now, the issue is what are the corners worth, that is if they are good, as both ads have left the tail section of the box out of the photos. http://portland.craigslist.org/clk/pts/2922565845.html http://portland.craigslist.org/clk/cto/2923950106.html http://portland.craigslist.org/clk/cto/2922298267.html I can go get any of these for you and cut the sections you want if they are good, but I would wait for a better deal.

That first one is perfectly reasonable, and I would pay that for it if I were local. $250 would sound good if I could get just the tailgate and corners, but after paying for your time and the cost of shipping I'd guess we're looking more at around $400 and that's more than I'd like to spend.

Steroid Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 ...looks like it's facing a Datsun 310 too! Is that a DATSUN dealer license plate frame????????????????? Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 Is that something else I am going to have to go look at? :poke: Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 I don't remember any cracks in the the glass on that truck Quote Link to comment
jon521 Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 has anyone seen the 70 521 at sherwood? according to their website, says its been in there a month Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 Thanks Wayno, good thing I didnt make the drive down there. That thing is toast! The one in the vancouver yard was exactly the same, rusted threw in the same spot. There was a 83 that looked fine, but I suspect they are differant. Quote Link to comment
hobbes_the_cat Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Thanks Wayno, good thing I didnt make the drive down there. That thing is toast! A small yard in poulsbo called yank a part just got a 72 240 z. They are advertising the motor on Craigslist Seattle and show pics of the whole car in the ad. They are hit or miss on pricing but the car doesn't look too rusty. Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Is that a DATSUN dealer license plate frame????????????????? Yes it was a dealer lic. plate frame, and it was wasted. Quote Link to comment

There are a couple more mid/late 70s Zs in the foster yard right now that have fairly good pass. side inner metal. Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 I have looked at all the 521s near me in the yards, and none have good rear taillight lenses, all the rear side marker lights are wasted, the license plate brakets are either missing or bent to shit, and every 521 truck had only one good rear box corner of the two, and I am not allowed to bring my grider/cutter into the yards, but they will allow a cordless sawsall in, but I don't own one of them. The tailgates on all of them are marginal, and all the gate chains are now gone. All the B210s, 210s, 310s that had matchbox distributers are missing the module, everyone of them is gone. There was a diesel mercedes with amber fog lights, but joel called dibbs when he asked if I seen any in these yards and I pointed to the one just ahead of us, what a pain in the ass it was to get the hood open.
