Yeah parts stores will have the mechanical bits for a long time as they are shared with many other cars. I would be more worried about finding trim bits, body parts, and soft interior parts. That stuff isn't getting reproduced. By the time any of these cars make it to the junk yard now they are beat bad. I can't remember the last time I was able to salvage anything from the interior of one of these cars at a self service junk yard. It's the same way with my Mark VII. I would never buy one if these cars with a trashed interior. That's the hardest stuff to find in excellent shape.
