Parting out '72 N600

Post by elementalmobile »

Technically this car could be saved if you were an ambitious rust-beater, but in my
opinion its good parts should go to a worthy recipient.
The Details:
It's a 1972 N600 Coupe that I drove to where it is sitting right now. I started it up fairly
regularly until I took out the gas tank to reline (never relined it). EVERY time I turned the
key it would start and idle with NO SMOKE out of the pipe. Seriously, never a puff. I was
starting it inside so smoke would have been a problem.
The Good:
It's got lots of good parts on it.
-Chrome is good.
-I have two extra fenders that are rust free.
-I have 4 wheels with NEW tires, as in never driven on.
-all glass is good
-engine ran great
-clutch was strong
-all gears smooth shifting
The Bad:
-Brakes are no. I have the parts but they weren't working well at all.
-I can't find the seats. They were good, too. I just don't know where they went.
-Much of the lower body has rot. Doors have some rot. Rockers are history.
-Small pushed-in dent on hood
I'll take pretty much any offer on a part if you need it. I can ship the engine and big stuff
since they really aren't that heavy. My main priority is my 911 so I will probably never get
around to playing with 600s like I want to. Want the parts to go to a good home and make
a little of my $ back at the same time.
You can email me directly at matt@...
Thanks!

Looks like we crossed emails on the location thing. I am in NYC tomorrow if It is convenient to take a look at the car?
Thanks again for the third time.
