64 Tempest to go

[zzebby]

Bought this stripped 4 dr just to cut out  the dash and hate to send it to the crusher.  Tried to find a GTO web site to advertise it but they are mostly BS and wanted to send me junk emails to register.  Anyone know a GTO site that is real ??
There are good  FOUR DOOR quarters , good floor and trunk pans and frame if any body wants it.   Does have cruise control that I can't decide if it's factory or not.  Little box says Dana on it and some parts are painted the factory semi black,  but other parts look like cheap add ons.
In Arizona, near Tony.

Prolly an after market cruise if its a dana.  Any magnets on the driveshaft and a sensor looking at them ? Im actually looking for a cruise for my 32 and the old dana units worked just fine. Im assuming it has a round vaccum controled unit thats hooked to the throttle arm on the carb ?

Yes you are right on.  Vacuum canister and magnets on the driveshaft, which I did not get.  Curious item is a triangle shaped bracket on the firewall just above the throttle pedal pivot.  It is painted factory semi black and sure looks factory. A fine cable went thru it to the carb,  but most of it was gone, cut.  Same with the extra arm on the pivot link, looks factory.  There is a rect hole cut thru beside the fuse block that is neat and has a matching grommet.  If this is factory then there is prolly some GTO enthusiast out there who would kill for it.

Factory cruise would have a servo on the fender with two speedo cables hooked to it. 1965 was BC, before throttle cables 1968 was the first year for throttle cables on the A body cars.

On the Dana cruise, you can still buy them marketed by AudioVox. If you have an electronic speedo, the signal generator for that will replace the magnets. There is also a signal generator on Escorts that will screw on the back of the speedometer that will operate it.

Funny you should say that. I was searching ebay today and found one of the audiovox units for 99 bucks. Half of what the street rod vendors sell the rostra for or maybe more than half? I then used my kidneys and did a search and low and behold I found it for 88.83 with free shipping ... Cheaper than Summit and no handiling charge. Im not quite ready to order one now (read holiday blues no money) but its on the list.... The thing ive been looking at is how to mount it so you cant see it and keep it under the car. I did get a link to summit racing and down loaded the manual so i can ponder it...

Thanks Guys
I'll toss it in the junk heap.  Still,  that triangular brkt with the cable to the carb looks original,  just the way it fits to the firewall.  Maybe these kits are better than I thought.

Should I save the floor and trunk  or try to advertise it? I  really don't want $ for it,  it's just that I spent so many years on my back welding up rust holes that it seems a waste to junk this.  I know they are available repro in pieces,  but an original one piece should be preferred by an A body restorer? Maybe it's a shipping problem.
I don't have space for it so it's days are numbered......
