OK, REPU newbie...

I was wandering around the junkyard todays and FOUND ONE!!!

But, the engine looked wierd to me, I assumed they had an unusual configuration. But, if it's got a normal 13B like my 88 Vert, then someone had swapped a 4 banger hemi in there I got all excited thinking "hmmm, a rotary with 4 top mounted sparkplugs and a distributor...".



But, if anyone needs parts, I might be able to play pick-it man for you. Interior was mostly trashed, asn was the front (no grill or bumpers), but 3 of the 4 tailights and buckets were still there

The tail lights had the chrome buckets, and the ring that bolted to the body. The bolts *might* have been redrilled with larger hardware. 3 of the 4 had the lenses, and all 4 had the buckets. I almost grabbed them myself for frenched tail lights on my off-road vehicle, guess you guys would have kicked my *** if I did that

I'll collect an inventory of questions from people this week, and head over there next Saturday to check it all out.



It did have the glove box with the woodgrain verneer

I can get tail lights, a local yard still probably has another 3-4 sets. Expensive though, they want $75 per 2 lights. Last time I was there they had 4 REPUs and various rx2, 3, 4, and Cosmos. This place has lots of rare stuff but they really bend you over on the pricing. Actually, they ship stuff to so you can contact them and find out if they have anything you need. Here is the best description I could find and I cannot find a web page for them.



Hidden Valley Auto Parts

The yard is on 160 acres consisting of over 9300 vehicles for good used parts. We ship worldwide with UPS and freightlines. Visa and Mastercard accepted.

City, State Zip: Maricopa, Arizona USA
