Hi all, so here goes my first post to introduce parts that I have for this vehicle that have been stored for many years. This is a good speedo & gas gauge cluster. It is in decent shape, lense is not broken but a few light scratches. The odometer shows 82630. I do not know if part is operational. Price I am asking is $50 + shipping from Phx, Az 85032
Thanks for looking.

Hi Richard,
I do not have spindles. I would suggest you look at the site partshotlines.com and when I searched it with 85 Chrysler 5th Ave spindles it gives all the donor cars that interchange with it. There were several options listed that you can use and this will probably save you a lot of time finding the front spindles. 1 yard had both sides for $100. Most of the parts I believe I have are going to be interior and exterior parts and I will probably start listing them next week. Feel free in letting me know what else you need and I will set them aside and message you prior to posting. I appreciate you contacting me.
Thanks
Nick

So Richard, did Greg get ahold of you on the spindles you wanted? I did post a lot of parts that I have for the 85 5th Ave today & it looks like I did have some looks. Do the prices look in the ballpark as fair? Your help is appreciated. Thanks and have a great night & day tomorrow.

Well since you asked you might want to re-access some of your parts. It's great to have the stuff available but things like the busted rear defroster switch and the radio with the worn out face that probably doesn't work (those buttons and tape deck are prone to failure even when they've come out of a mint car) aren't worth the shipping cost. There's no demand for FMJ parts that aren't clean and usable.
 
I wish the seller luck because I always like to see someone not just throwing these cars away, but sadlly parts for them don't bring much money at all. I have had two Diplomat Police cars that I had to part out and it wasn't worth it. Even breaking even was tough. By time you find the right size boxes, securely tape them up, take to shipper, you're lucky if you break even. You have to price things very low to find buyers, and even then it's tough. If you have an AHB you have a better chance because the rear anti-sway bar with hardware, 8.25 rear, bigger front sway bar, certified speedometer and other things unique to AHB are sought after more but shipping a rear end, anti-sway bar and other bigger and heavier items is cost prohibitive. And the chance of finding someone sort of nearby is practically nil. I wish it weren't the case because I'm as much of an M body fan as anyone.
 
And.....you have several people who practically expect you to give your parts away. I offered up my nice spare certified speedo with an AHB oil pressure gauge once, even though I didn't want to sell it but saw someone looking, and instead of "no thanks" the azzzhole sent me a super nasty message and wished it to rot in my garage. Keyboard coward lol.
