| Seems to be all original, except for electronic ignition/alternator. Was thinking of parting her out, but it's complete enough for someone that wants a fairly large project. Typical rusted floors/trunk.
Most of the pieces you see missing I have in the garage.
Car runs MINT!
Located 1 hour south of Boston.
Entertaining offers. Thanks all!

Location: So. Cal | Many people, myself included, shy away from purchasing these large parts because of the unknown shipping cost for such things. It would be good for you to find out how you can ship these things, like the doors and hoods, and get an estimate of approximately how much it would cost to ship them. If you were closer, I would have bought the whole car from you but the shipping makes it cost prohibitive. |

Location: Fredrikstad, Norway. (Europe) | All I can say about this ad is that it makes me sick. Still another beautyful forwardlook car being slaughtered. That's one of the reasons I'm not on here to often any more. I just can't bare it. No Wonder so many of these cars go to Sweden and to bad this one did not. Then it would have been easily restored by one of the true forwardlook enthusiasts there and continue the "life" these beautyful cars deserve. 4 door sedan you say? Well, to me there is no difference in the matter of saving between a 2 door hard-top and a 4 door sedan. And it most probabely would not be for another true enthusiast either. Americans being interested in conserving these cars ? Bullsh*t ! Shame on you !
Harsh Words ? So let it be. I couldn't care less of what you think about that.

| Wow, opinions are like a**holes, everyone has one. Funny thing, you don't see Americans usually importing anything from Sweden now do you? Do you even have anything worth importing? LMAO. These parts are saving and resurrecting other Mopars that need the donor parts. It's not being crushed, dumbass. Perhaps you don't know the difference? |

It's funny Einar, but I know a couple Swedish car nuts here in the states and they are even worse than the Americans in terms of what they are willing to save and what they want to part out. They generally wouldn't waste their time with a lowly 2dr Saratoga coupe or Firedome. They chase after the convertibles, Adventurers, & 300's much more than the Americans do. Do these few represent the whole of Sweden? I'm sure they don't, but pictures I see posted from Sweden only tends to confirm this trend. I am more likely to see a 4dr sedan built and loved by an American than I am from a Swede - at least on this forum. I have never been to Sweden so maybe there is more happening with 4dr sedans than I know, but from my perspective here, it doesn't look that way. There seems to be quite a collection of high end cars over there that get bought out because Americans are less likely to be willing to pay big dollars for them. Everyone builds what they want and this car was a good runner that was offered at a very reasonable cost. Why didn't you or another Swede buy it???? He was originally offering it for less than it would cost you to pick up a complete, running 354 spitfire. It was quite a deal, but still no one took the offer to build it. If you want to blame someone for that, you can only point your finger at yourself. Apparently, it really is only good for parts because that's what the free market dictated. Although that makes me sad to see too. |

| Indeed, the perception of "yeah, but it's a 4-door" is very much alive here, but, I also have a 1958 Saratoga, 4-dr hard top, all original, numbers matching, that I've owned for years. And a 1964 300K Letter Car, all original, with the 413 Ram Induction. The car I'm parting has helped many, many people already. In fact, the FIRST person that bought parts drove down to my house from Montreal, Canada. He has the EXACT same car, 4 doors and all, same two-tone blue. This car donated a front windshield, steering wheel, front and rear bumper, trim, rear arm rests, etc, to restore his car. And the list goes on for others that are more than happy to use these parts to help fix/restore theirs. The whole purpose of me putting the car on here was for other Mopar people to use what they needed. Where else would I have gone? My point exactly. |

Location: Fredrikstad, Norway. (Europe) | Well Ken, I had my say and wasn't going to make any more comments, but sh*t, let go.
Since you think my opinion is like an ashole, I mean. Since I'm not a Swede but a Norwegian and don't live in Sweden, I don't have the slightest idea of what the Americans import from Sweden. You dig ?
If I have anything worth importing ? Of course I don't know how often you have been on here, but you have 78 posts since you enrolled in 2014 and if you have been on here a little more often than you have posted, you would probabely have seen what kind of cars I have owned and what cars I still own today. And then you could have judged for yuorself if any of them was/is worth importing to the U.S. Since I have posted pics of some of these cars on here before' I don't care to take the time and effort to do it again just for you. But I can mention a few: 1966 IMPERIAL Crown convertible Coupe With a total Production of 514. A couple of 1962 Chrysler 300 Sport Series 2 door hard-tops and one convertible. I have owned 5 out of the 3092 1960 DeSoto Adventurer 2 door hard-tops ever produced and I still own 3 of them. One With swivel seats and most ptions you could get on those cars. I also have a 1957 Chrysler Saratoga 4 door sedan (yes, a 4 door sedan) that have belonged to the former Prime Minister of Norway, mr. Einar Gerhardsen.
Selling a car off as parts is good for the buyer of the parts, but not so good for saving a beautyful car. And that is my point.
And if you know how to read plain English, I wrote slaughter, not crush. And yes, I know the difference. Just as well as i know that whatever is left of the car will be crushed or disposed off in some way.
Dumbass ? Well, namecalling and personal attacs is just another reason I'm not on here very often anymore. And please keep in mind that calling other dumb is the best way to show your own lack of intellegence.
Not showing any personal or location info. about yourself, also don't show much respect from my point of view.

| Thank you for your reply, old fart. My longevity on this forum, or lack thereof is irrelevant. You threw stones first. Your opinion, while I'm certain is important to you, is not to me. 706 posts vs 78 post. And that means what exactly? That you have more free time to lecture people about their abuses of Forward Look vehicles? Last time I checked, no one asked you what you thought about this particular car. As Powerflite said, you or another member could have easily reached out to save this Windsor, if it was that important to you. In it's entirety. Where were you when I first posted it? Or your "true enthusiasts"? I actually rescued this car from a salvage yard before THEY crushed it! Maybe it was my lack of intelligence that made me do that? Even though I didn't need any of it. So perhaps the next time you run your mouth, get your facts straight. Dumbass was quite mild to what you should have gotten for being rude. A foreigner telling an American what I should do with an American car? Really? And my personal info or location.......? The ad clearly states one (1) hour south of Boston. I'll give you one from your own playbook: "Harsh Words ? So let it be. I couldn't care less of what you think about that."
