Most of the T birds and Cougars i see in the yards here are rotted to nothing or squished from unnatural causes.


Example:

One of the only 2 foxes in any of my 5 local yards:

that one shot was supposed to be of all the trash in the trunk but I guess I missed...

Wow. How big is that couch?? :hick:  Now we know where all of the good parts cars are!  Looks like they are sitting on concrete too? That's just too good to be true.

Let us know if you get back there, I'm sure you could go with a list of things to check out.

Thanks (I guess :D) for the pictures.

I will probably be going back soon to pick up one of the 8.8s for a buddies Mustang.  I will also be picking up some of the good stuff seen in the pics.

can you get all the chrome fender trim from one of those cats? {preferably the black one if its all in better shape}. Oh and while you're at it if you come across a 85-88 car with a console and its got a switch plate with just power mirrors and power windows, I'll take that too.

hey btw you guys should grab up those license plate brackets. They seem to be hard to find. People need them on here from time to time.


geez you know now that I think about it... my wife's grandparents live up in Henderson. I might just have to take a weekend up there and come rape your yard for parts.:D

Wowsers! Good stuff over there, Sad though.
Don't forget the TC Hood Scoops (on the roof) and the Horn Button.

And could you see if any of them have a NON-OD Auto Floor Shifter Please?

Heck, maybe I should just drive my truck down there! I'll probably end up leaving my backseat out though, just in case I find something I gotta have.

I need to take a ride to my local jy to see what they got now. The last time I was there which was a couple months ago they had crushed most of the fox Birds they had including an 87-88 Cougar I'd been getting parts from. It's shame because there was a ton of good parts left on these cars. They did get an 87 Bird in and I was the first to get to it, even the yard workers didn't have a chance to do thier thing. I got a nice set of taillights and some other parts from it. I also got a like new Kenwood cd head unit for my Bird, I even found the warrenty papers in the trunk.
