Ernie; So what exactly is rusty in the Crown? You mention that all of the fenders are straight and quite solid, so what's left to rust out? I would mull it over for a few days before you make a decision, personally I would offer to swap the parts car for a fresher 392 and some LeBaron parts.

The body however is far worse than it looked in the pictures. I went down to Olympia today and looked at my LeBaron, WOW. Needs a wash to look presentable, two very small rust holes (about the size of a silver dollar) but other than that as straight and solid as the day she was made. It looks like we now know who the winner of the Hemi is. It now looks like the Crown will be parted, any interested send needs off list. Have windshield, perfect, back and all door glass, all the stainless, in great condition plus fenders, doors etc. all solid and quite straight. Ernie
