That really is too bad. I just sold my '89 LeSabre T-Type because I know that I let it sit, it would suffer the same fate.
Does that car have a full fan shroud by any chance?
...and please send me the VIN and codes before you get rid of it.
Jeff.

i promise to get you the vin soon... its breaking my hart having to give up on it.. i will check, but off hand i think it does not have the full shroud, but i will have to check to be sure... did 6cyl cars have them? i know years ago we had a bunch here... id say try one from a maverick, but there hard to find as well...
correction, i think autokrafters or someone reproduces them...

Yes - 6cyl cars with A/C had a full shroud. Mine had one and years ago I fell asleep at the wheel and hit a culvert. Hit it hard enough that the motor was able to shift the fan blades into the shroud imbedding chunks into the hood underside (along with some nice dents). The flexing also warped the quarter panel and the culvert hit the rear floor pan denting it. Cosmetically the car was all fixed, but you see a slight crease in the RH door jam and the rear axle is offside just slightly
Luckily I have a good body man.
Jeff.

I'm the one looking for a shroud - is it off a car that had double pulleys? The last one I got wouldn't clear the althernator double pulley.
If so, where are you?

well its a sad day for my 77 granada, it looks as though it is going to become an organ donor... it was starting to suffer when i had to take him off the road, but having to let it sit for 3 years took its toll, i was cleaning out the car and lifted the sealing tar paper to find some major cancer in the trunk area
