i think that may have been a factory elcomino SS nose for a couple of years.... or a VERY popular swap, lol. that purple & white one looks good in that pic, has a cowl hood, a VERY nice interior, last on the road in 05... but all the bondo & chiken wire fell out of the bed, there was a hole i could stick my head into.... and i have a fat head, lol.

The '57 Chevy parts would be cool, too.

And that mid-50s Buick is a 1957 model.
RJ: step 1: get some cash $ from the bank. step 2: bring a trailer & said $ to southeast PA.
step 3: buy the monte & anything else you like! haha, they are clearing everything out of the yard, so its ALL for sale.... idk how much $ the monte is, i know the guy wants to sell it & the 4 speed elcomino as whole cars, but that monte would make a GREAT sbc swap....
the guy that took me is gonna ask about how much the monte is....

in the trailer with teh green door in the pic, you can see the '57 fender in the pic, there is also a MINT 57 hood with the rockets intact in there i wanna drag my dad down to get some of the station wagon trim peices

and thanks for the info on the buick, i was told it was a 57, but i forgot, haha.

Ryan, thanks for posting the pics.

Sadly the money funds are low so no way I could buy even the left over '57 Chevy parts laying on the ground.

boy, does that sound farmilear, RJ.... the guy who is selling the stuff in the yard does know what this stuff is worth, too, but if he knows your not there to "look around" he tends to take a dive in prices, because he really needs to get everything GONE... and $150 for a bundel of nice trim peices is money in his pocket, while renting a dumpster is money OUT of his pocket.....
