Argh, they crushed it! Went back today for the bumpers on that 83 and of course, it was gone. I knew I shouldn't have waited for the 1/2 price sale! :(

So I was at the local yard yesterday looking for a clutch fan assembly for my Mark. This yard claims they are a "late model" salvage yard and don't have any models earlier than a '90 year model, so I planned on getting the fan from a Crown Vic or Towncar. Well, I happened to see a mildly modded '86 T-bird there! It had an HO conversion, true duals with stock stang headers, 1-5/8 front swaybar, and I beleive 1"?? rear bar, front strut tower brace, t-lock rear with 3.45's, TC header panel, and the weird thing (I think at least) were the seats. Manual sport seats with power lumbar and bolster. I have never seen that before. Due to lack of money, my broke ass could only grab the fan assembly of course, the front strut tower brace (which I picked up for 12 bucks :D ), and the pair of Marchal's. I wish I could've bought the whole car. Anyway, I did grab a few pics of it, not many as my phone died while I was there

Don't know what this sticker is...

My fatass robbing parts...:D

These are the pass. and driver seats...

My 86 XR7 came with manual seats and power lumbar and seat bolsters too.

That is a cool find. You don't usually find a modded one in the jy, they're usually taken care of.

WTF!
Who's genius idea was to put that in the yard, I could see a ton of interest in at as whole~Even if it needed a tranny or something.

If you ever go back I would be Interested in that Trunk Lid Liner and maybe some other stuff.

The trunk lid liner was in excellent shape, I was gonna grab it and the trunk carpet. If I had more money, I would've grabbed anything useful off of it, but my computer crashed before I went, so I had to put money aside for another computer. If I go back (which I am sure I will) I will shoot you a PM and you can tell me what you need.

That 72 Cougar Convertible might be worth something to the right person or ebay!! Parts for the 71-73 cougars are quite difficult to find. I had a 71 in which the clevland got donated to my 1BDBIRD!!!! Cool pics ID say,I seen a 69 camaro on here that should be in my garage!!!LOL

A front wheel drive Capri vert. I didn't know they made those. I have no idea what year it is. It was in pretty good condition though. I've never seen one of these before, so it was a pretty cool find.

Those where built from 91-94. They're cool little cars. I was trying to find one about 12 years ago but ended up buying an 88 fiesta for a dd instead.
