It is with great sadness that I announce the death of Paula.
A yellow 1973 450 SE that because of its butter color was named for the famous TV chef that touted the use of butter.
She was parked on a hill when someone broke in
and attempted to steal an aftermarket radio. The perp knocked the car out of park and without the parking brake set she rolled down the hill clipping one tree and crashing into another. It could have been worse because if it hadn't been for the tree the car could have collided with traffic or someone's house.
Nevertheless, I am now making available parts from the car. The engine and transmission are in very good condition for the age of the car. All doors except the drivers door are ok. The front bumper is spoken for. The steering wheel is also in excellent condition.
The interior is VERY rough so little of value there, except the steering wheel.
The car was running and I was driving it occasionally to keep it up. The time required to harvest and ship parts is unknown as I have found a place to keep it, but I am still working out details with owner of the shop as to how the arrangement of parting the car will work.
