Updated 12/14: sold parts, pictures in replies below.

Hi all, parting out a 1985 that I picked up to grab some parts from.

What is NOT available: hood, rear end, linkages, gas tank/sending unit, sway bars, radio, dash plaque.

What is pending sale: door panel escutcheons, roof assembly, export brackets, dash bezel

Car interior has worn out bench seat maroon interior: door panels and rear seat faded, front seat fabric worn and dirty. Trim and plastics good, dash bezel and door escutcheons good. Dashpad itself cracked from Georgia sun. Has a non turbo digital dash unit in it, may be a good core to send in for rebuild or parts. Steering wheel swapped to grant gt, not selling wheel or column until I'm close to ready to junk so I can roll/steer it.

Drive train was converted to a 1965 283 v8 swap, has edelbrock carb and tall aluminum valve covers.

Exterior is old faded paint, non-landau, chrome trim package, front fiberglass fillers (rh cracked), export front bumper braces, mw/ml doors with rust beginning on bottom lips, dented rh qtr panel behind tire and bent rear bumper. Rims/tires on car are chrome buick rallyes, have 84-85 ttype style rims without tires in trunk.

I will try to update thread as parts sell, I am posting this thing a few places to get it gone and parted quickly. I will also add later some loose parts from around the workshop as I am trying to clean it up some.

I'll take export front bumper braces pending pic/price.......
I'll try to get some pictures in the morning for you, I should be able to pull a bumper off and get pictures of the backside by then.
 
How is the quarter glass and chrome around the drivers window?
From memory the quarter glass is nice, rubber seal looked good withough having pulled it, but the chrome showed age - fading, tiny white spots etc.

Chrome I would want to double check for any dings or scratching. My guess is it may be straight but would need restoration/polishing as the car sat in the sun/out in the weather a good bit.
 
Header panel
Header panel still available, has emblem hole (not gn style).

From what was visible there were no breaks or repairs although I have not had headlight bezels off yet and have not been underneath to check where the studs to the core support connect.

Chrome grille in excellent shape, headlight bezels driver condition, lens of passenger side corner lamp in bezel is cracked.

Can sell bare or with all the chrome goodies, although I would imagine shipping from Georgia could get expensive.

If NorCalTurbo doesn't take the header panel, I'd be interested and can pick it up in Atlanta Jan 2 pending price/ condition.

I will have pictures of the header panel for NorCalTurbos and yourself sometime tomorrow. I started removing it today but did not finish. I wanted to verify and be able to get photos of all attachment points for someone to make an informed decision.

Price is $225, with no fillers, passenger corner lamp is cracked in the clear lens portion but bezel has no crack.
 
Header panel

Finished pulling the header panel today and disassembled to check mounting points.

Grille is very nice some light weathering to chrome but still has nice shine. Healight bezels are also nice, but, have either mildew or light over spray mist in some spots. Corner lamps are fair on driver side and poor/broken on passenger side. Pictures included below.

As a summary of header panel condition, there was one tiny chip along the hood edge, penny added to picture for scale. Behind the passenger headlight bezel there was a stress crack issue where the 10 mm bolt attaches into the core support. Pictures of the various mounting points also shown below.
