2 "rare" wagons in the junkyard... :~(

I went to the local U-pull junkyard the other day. When I first walked in there was a TBI wgn there. First thing I noticed was the green hoses. Then the ticket light & digital dash. That's right, a 1A2 wagon... stripped now.

Second is an OCC wagon, 77K miles but had a wierd option... NO REAR DEFROST! Rear glass still there and the manual climate control w/o the rear defrost switch provision was there also... Should I grab them??? I got the bumper cover & grille.

Absolutely grab that rear glass! Manual climate control.... well if you're bored.

Any other Cruiser specific stuff left? Tail lights, grille, wheels, etc....

I have never seen a defrost-less wagon. Of course, I do live in Canada...

I got glass for my old OCC up here a couple years ago when mine broke. I had the yard pull it for me. When I got there to pick it up, it had NO DEFROST! Who even knew? I told the guys to pull me one with a defroster so I could use it up here in New England.

Hey Mike,
The cruiser was still fairly complete. The hood was off but I found it under a truck. I pulled the grille(one cracked screwhole) and the front bumper cover. The rest of the cladding was there & in nice shape including the rear bumper. I also snatched the cloth 3rd row out of it. Tails were there & I don't think they were broken. It had wire hubcaps, no alloys.

What kind of money does that glass go for? He told me $50 for the glass & $25 for the climate control.

Those prices seem reasonable but not great. Thing about the defrostless glass is they are not all that common. You could probably hang onto that and make a few bucks.

If it was me, I'd try to snag the whole car to strip.

How much for the tail lights? What color is the interior? I am looking for a nice tailgate interior in red, that does not have the top screw holes broken out.
My 92 has the no defrost rear window. Window glass is expensive to ship. I wish I was closer. I would like to swap out my 91 glass, so that I can have a smooth tint job.

I would also be interested in the back seat skins from the red cloth OCC.

I have two wagons sans defroster lines. 91 OCC and a 94 Cappy. is it a 91 or 92? If it's a 91 I'd be interested in the pass front door cladding as the 92s are different in how they attach (of course I have the spare in the wrong year).

was the 1A2 a TBI or LT1? TBI green hoses are harder to find in my travels so they may be desirable to grab too.
