100% agree. I love seeing original 6 cylinder cars. The V8 swaps are just overdone these days. My car was already swapped when I got it so my factory drivetrain was long gone. I actually believe my car was an original automatic car with a vinyl top, which I would think is also fairly rare for a 250 I6 car. Someone bought a base model car and added a lot of options, although I do believe it was a standard interior with buckets. Boy how I wish I had my original door tag :(

This was the info I was looking for! Thanks a bunch. I had a feeling my common little 250 coupe may have been something different. Not that it makes it worth anymore but it does make me love my old girl that much more. As many 6's these days there's not much original left about the car, but none the less it's a cool little fact. Maybe one of these days I'll get the full report to get the actual breakdown.

Yes I did the google search before posting. I also agree a 69 coupe with a 250 is not rare. But one with factory ac I am talking. Heck the 69 sportsroof with a 250 is super rare. What was it the E something or other, I think they made under 100 of them.

Kind of a bizarre question but it does stem from somewhere. Does anyone know how rare a 69 coupe with a 250 auto and factory AC is? I had sold an engine fan to a guy who said it was an extremely rare fan and it seems to be, because I had a very hard time finding one and when I did it was selling for a stupid amount of money. Come to find out it must have been the original fan off my car (kind of pissed I sold it now). But I basically gave it to him and I'm thinking I may not have known what I had. Either way curiosity has gotten the best of me. I had a very hard time even finding info on the fan itself and am now thinking maybe this was a very rare combo.

Updated. Everything listed is available.

Sent you a text.

Battery tray sold. Pictures are dead thanks to photobucket charging now to host pictures. No way I'm paying for their service considering how slow and horrible their website is. Anyway if anyone wants pictures of anything just message me.

Sorry just have those pieces. I'm sure you can buy the other individual pieces you need though.

Thanks. I thought so, I just never want to lead someone in the wrong direction so if I'm not 100% I wont say so. :)

Got some part numbers. Not all the pieces have nunbers though. The 1 longer piece in the picture is actually 2 pieces but neither has a number. It all sure as hell looks like the 69 dash parts but I haven't looked the numbers up yet. C9ZA19B923-A C9ZA19B737-A

3 pieces. That's a second picture of the same hoses. There aren't 6 hoses in the dash. The 4th piece is the third picture down. Please check your car to make sure these are the pieces you need. I'm fairly certain they were from a 69 parts car but its been 15 years so my memory evades me.

I take that back. I think the 4th piece is the floor vent.

3 pipes and then the square center piece which I believe is the defrost. I'm open to offers.

Pretty sure a 69 coupe but I can't say 100 percent. There are probably some numbers on them I can look up. Ill try to check later today.

How do you like how the flux welds with gas? Granted mine is only a 110v so I'm not sure it will compare but just curious.

Thanks I'll check that out. Much appreciated.

Well I have a $400 Lincoln Electric Flux core 110v now. It's actually pretty dang good for what it is. But even if I bought a better and proper welder for the job, I would not want to practice my first job doing frame repair haha. I think my best bet at this point is to find a friend or even hire someone to come out to the car once I'm ready for a few welds. The car needs somewhere around $10,000 in frame repair easily. Bad as that sounds it's all in the time taking it all apart. so I think if I can do that myself I should be able to get this done for less than $2,000. I think the car will need a quarter out back too because someone globed body filler all over to the point where the seam from rocker to quarter is non existent. So unfortunately I'll be destroying my paint job cutting that out, but maybe I can get someone to blend it best they can, or maybe put a retro 60's vinyl graphic over the primer until I can afford a repaint. Cheesy I know, but we do what we have to. What's a shame is the paint on the car is actually pretty nice. A cheaper repaint I did 10+ years ago, but it looks good. One of those it looks nice but I'm also not afraid to drive the car type deals. All my body panels have some sort of rust on them so a door ding although I would be upset, would not be the end of the world.

Passenger side front window mounts are gone, only the one driver side piece remains. All window channels and regulators are also still available as well as window mounts that are still on the tracks.

Haha thanks for the thought but I wasn't probing for someone here to help. Just talking out loud.

I agree; generally I do the same. I buy the tools and learn myself. I've got a fair amount now but nothing like what a shop would have. Ill have to see if I can find someone willing to help me out.

I like that idea. I think that's the route I may go. It should save the $10k in labor to do all this and then I also know it's done right. I'm starting to rethink my profession after seeing the labor rates these shops charge.

I'll take a look for you tonight and let you know. I know 3M makes glue for the glue in glass. I had one guy who used it with good results. By the way sorry it took so long to respond. Apparently I wasn't set up to get notifications when someone posted.

Well I only have access to wire wheels and rattle cans. Which really isn't the best way of sanding and painting. I guess better than nothing but I hate when things aren't done right. The other major issue I have is I only have a flux core welder and I'm a novice. So with something like this I would not trust my welds and am not sure that's even the right welder to be using. But I'm thinking of maybe trying to find someone to come do some on site welding once I get it all apart and in place, or maybe get lucky enough to find a friend to help out once I'm ready to weld it up. Thoughts on that? I'm thinking most of the labor is the cutting apart, fitting panels, drilling spot welds and cleaning up rust.

That's my fear. I don't have the money to fix it the way I want to. I'd love to blast and paint everything, add extra bracing etc. but budget and time just won't allow it. At this point I just want to get the car back on the road. It's been sitting too long and if I wait until I can do everything how I would want, I'll be dead before that happens.

In fact, does anyone have chassis measurements? So I can measure point to point to make sure nothing is tweaked? I think my tower bar is bent now after the control arm came through the tower, so I'm a bit worried something else is bent.
