Went Junk yarding

Went to one of the only pull it yourself yards in CT (chuck and eddies in southingington). They had 3 B-bodies this time, a new record! One was a 92 base sedan, another was a TBI caprice wagon, and the last was a TBI RMS limo. The limi was awesome, would love to have that long roof!

Where is Chuck and Eddies ?

I could maybe use some TBI alternator brackets.

I dig it, I just figured it was kind of redundant with the Fleetwood limos...
where's the Caprice limo for those that don't want all the flash and luxury of a Cadillac or Buick?

They're open Sunday? It's only two hours from me; I could do that some day. Sweet '67 'Bird!

That limo is pretty cool- I've seen lots of things converted like that for the "less than a HS prom" purpose, Grand Marquis Limos, an old 70s Chrysler limo, even a couple Range Rover and 1980s Grand Wagoneer limousines, LOL.

I have printed out pics for a box limo that I wish I had on the computer. It was for sale on Ebay when I was like 13 and I wanted it so bad!

If it was this limo, I would have tried to buy it from them

Chuck and eddies is on old turn pike road in southington CT. No sunday hours, I think they are open until 1:30 on sat. I may be heading back there this week, found more parts I needed today. Anyone need anything if I go?

If THAT limo was there something would be terribly wrong with the world.

Could you check the if the limo has an alternator bracket like this:

I'm looking for the adapter, outlined in red, that allows you to mount the bigger alternator and any brackets that might be in back of it.

The alternator was gone, but I'll check for that. That thing had dual batteries in it, good chance it had it.

Can you see if they have any caddy's or buicks from the 80's/90's I need a continental kit for a project. Any condition.
