Here is some of the stuff that I have which I would like to get to one of your members that can use it.
Engine - Motor # S15-76484. As you can see in the attached pictures this is a complete unit with original oil filter, the correct heater hose attachment, water pump, and distributor. According to the web site the S15 engines without the suffix letter is for the Taxi, and apparently there were only about 2600 made. This engine turns over easily and should rebuild without any problems.
Transmissions - The upper one was used in the car and worked just fine. The fellow got another transmission and had it rebuilt and put it in the car for testing. It worked fine and he left it in the car at the time of sale. I the interval he had picked up the spare that is shown as the bottom one in the picture. He said that it to was working at the time he purchased it.
Radiator - I haven't test it but supposedly good with no leaks apparent. Part number on this is 1373268 with DCPD insignia.
I also have two steering boxes and various smaller parts including door handles and escutcheons and fender moldings'.
Thanks for any help at getting these parts to those that can use them. I haven't set any prices and will make reasonable deals on anything I have.
Thanks again, Gary Rusher, 6125 SW Homesteader Rd., Wilsonville, OR 97070, PH. 503-939-9320 or chiefgr@hotmail.com
