Well i just got the speedo cause i want to attempt the 140 mod and i figured i would pick up a spare so if i ruin it i still have my good one.
I am suprised at how well of shape the TC is in. Not much rust at all and it was a NY car. Must have been well taken care of until it caught on fire. There is another nice Bird there that is a blue/gray color but its locked and i didnt want to break the windows to get in. I need to buy a long screwdriver to unlock the door. I forgot to take my camera again but when i go up to pick up the rear I will try to remember to take it and get some pics of the cars there. Its a shame the yard wont sell the shell of the TC it looks really rust free. Bottom of the doors arent even rusted.

Sorry Fila no white fox bodies there that i saw.

Not Sure. There are a lot of mn12's there though. Not sure on the interior colors of them.
I will see if i can look closer on friday when we go to pick up the rear. I only saw 1 or 2 stangs and the second one i spotted from about 100 yards away and it might not have been a stang.
My eyes arent the greatest. Didnt see any sn95s that i noticed but i was only in the lower half of the yard.
There were 4 fox body thundercats-3 birds and 1 cougar, there are about 15-20 mn12's. I will let you know if I see anything i think you might be interested in.
I was hoping they had a SC so i could snag the MAF housing, but i didnt see any today.

On a side note: My dads buddy that has a JY at his house got a t-bird in that was a Florida car. He said 84/85/86 so it must be a four eye, I didnt talk to him but my dad did. I hope i can get up there before something happens to it. If he's willing and its not smashed i might see if i can buy it from him whole.

So i went to get the rear end today and when i got there,
They hadnt pulled it out yet. So he pulled it while we waited. I didnt get to get pics of all the stuff i wanted to because my dad had me looking for a digital dash for his Blazer. I did get a few pics of 1 of the other birds there. They are going to cut the lower quarter panel off for me too.:D I gotta go up tomorrow and pick it up.
Its a shame the car caught fire it was well taken care of.
Now for the pics:

I was walking down to get the trunk lid when I spotted an interesting clue of one of the past cars in the yard.
I stashed the header panel off the red car in hopes it wont get crushed, just in case I or someone else needs/wants it sometime.

, the yard I have has litteraly HALF a fox mustang, thats it
Alot of MN12's and a few new edge cats though. SN95's there too, thats about it than would help anyone on here. Anything Pre-87 there?

Pre-87 birds/cats?
I dont think so. Not completely sure but i am reasonably sure there isnt. There is 1 87-88 cougar and 1 other 87-88 bird that i didnt get a chance to take a pic of today but thats it for fox birds/cats.
I only saw 1 fox stang there.
There is another yard that supposedly has an 84-86(from what he told my dad) bird that was a florida car. I need to get out there and take a look at it.
