carguygibby Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 After getting the word there was a flatty in a local junkyard here in Winston Salem, I went to check it out today.Sadly the poor thing is toast, was a very early Dodge Conquest built July 1983.All I could save was the armrest, badges and some clips. A very sad site.

StarquestRescue Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 (edited) Manual ac controls. You do not see that often in a sq. Maybe no rear wiper on the hatch? Edited October 27, 2015 by StarquestRescue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo Cary Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 Manual ac controls. You do not see that often in a sq. Maybe no rear wiper on the hatch? Definitely get the manual ac controls. I got a manual setup to swap into my wide body. Im tired of the finicky digital style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carguygibby Posted October 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 Steering wheel was nasty on top, in fact the whole interior was ripped to shreds. The radio console was all cracked on the other side.Driving light lenses cracked (I need one too)Manual a/c control was cool. No wiper on hatch, couldn't get it open.

Guest Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) I've come to see junk yards as big graveyards for really cool cars that time has left behind. I see an AMC behind the quest. Edited October 28, 2015 by louswheel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMeyerhoff Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 Lower side moldings good? Even the clips are getting hard to find due to how brittle they become. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrngwae Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) Nice score Colin. I would absolutely love that center console for my grey interior swap that I'm slowly doing. How was the headliner and "A" pillars? Edited October 28, 2015 by wrngwae Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G54Bstore Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 Windshield, & front license plate bracket, look ok . Another one bites the dust man. Sad site to see. Like a local junkyard here where the owners son was a enthusiast.Had 20 or so parts cars sitting around the jyard and decides he don't like them no more and crushes them.

How was the headliner and "A" pillars?Interior was ripped to shreds, someone had taken a knife to the headliner, everything else had been torn off or had just rotted. Rare gray interior would have been sweet. What a waste.Going to clean up the armrest, PM me if you want it bro.

Malykaii Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 I'm actually surprised to see so,much concern for an 83. In all my years people mourn the wide body and shp cars, yet 83 cars usually loose the hood/tails and go strait to the crusher. No Flatty love.

ucw458 Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Looks like an 84 not an 83. 83 didn't have fog lamps in the bumper just bigger turn signals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasQuest Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 There were no 83 Conquest's. They weren't produced until the 84 model year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
