the pictures show a transaxle from a 1965
the accelerator swivel and the big red "fill here" on the trans side plate are key give-aways.
Happy motoring!

I assume it is a late model because it has the stubby axles. The engine itself was seized so I salvaged what I could and scraped the rest. Hopefully from the pics you can tell me what year the trans and dif is? The input shaft turns and the axle yokes turn when I spin the input shaft. If I look I might have a pic of the serial number of the engine - maybe.

Do you have a '65 transmission and differential? If so, you will need the '65 cross member from the front of the transmission if you don't have one. Do you have the bell housing? Clutch pull rod & fork, the clutch cross shaft? The shift tube might be bent junk. You're chasing pedals. The dash is out if the car. You'll want a Corsa dash or a Monza dash without the attractive PG shift lever. I thinkvyou still need a shifter base. The chrome cover was gone in the early photos.

I would not be able to make the trip to aurora for several weeks so if you are getting me the parts I am thankful. Just let me know who I need to send money too. I have been talking with the folks at the Corvair Ranch and its looks like they have the pedals I need.

There is a bunch of stuff in the rear like the cross shaft and some little struts that are needed for a 4-speed conversion. If the back window is tinted I'd like to grab it but it is a 2-person job and cutting that caulking is tricky. I cracked a windshield trying to do it myself. The windshield was sand blasted to uselessness anyway.

The door latches and window regulators are probably useful, not a huge rust problem here, so not urgent. It looked like the little C on the passenger door panel was there but Clark's has reproductions now. I may be able to get there for a bit this coming Saturday but can't take on the major stripping I've done in the past. I'd try for the steering box and back window for me. Maybe the ignition switch... usually the seat belts are gone... I wouldn't mind the engine, diff & transmission but those are necessary for others. We could grab rear hubs as cores for Steve. Steve may have spare prop shafts.
