Took my radiator to get a re-cored, was told by shop that the core is no longer available, does anyone know of a sources for replacement cores for these cars. Mine has three staggered rows, I believe there were 38, 39, 38 tubes in the rows. I want to use the original radiator as it has the correct date in tank.
Thanks,
Randy
e-bay has one from cool craft around 400 or 500 and auto city classic Inc. has one alum. around 300 or so I have used both and had good result's
Check a couple more shops. My 62 Bird was a one owner 82K when I got it, (she had hit every immovable object in the city) and wanted to stay original. Two shops couldn't get the core, third try the owner said no problem and went to work. Picked it up and he said they had done that radiator many years ago.....
Other option is to go purchase a replacement and take it to a shop and have them transfer the old tanks to the new core.
