Is this worth the drive for a parts car?

I really just want it for spare parts. Trim stuff (molding emblems ect) only because the metal is, uh, fubar:flame: . I'm thinking $300 max, but I'd have to be high and or drunk to offer that much. I'm worried about it making it back to my house :hick: . If I got it I'd strip the good stuff and s the rest as I'm pretty sure that the strut towers and frame are rusty anyways. Hell it's got a rust hole through the lower quarter :pbb: Quote Selected

Is this worth the drive for a parts car? Reply #4 – March 06, 2008, 10:14:05 AM The car has been listed locally for about 4 months. I bet he'll give it away I wouldn't even try to fix the thing. It's way too far gone I bet. With what salt does around here I bet that the strut towers are realy fubar. Hell it sits too high in front as well. I wonder why? Besides it's got a 3.8 as well :flame: . I've seen cars just like that at the wreakers and I could poke holes through the lower quarters and rockers with my finger. The problem is finding a 87-88 T-bird in py, rusty shape so I won't feel bad about striping it for parts "just incase" I ever need them. I wouldn't want to send a rot free car to the crusher.

Is this worth the drive for a parts car? Reply #8 – March 06, 2008, 07:02:48 PM What parts on it are worth anything? Not the motor, tranny, rear, sheetmetal, most of the interior, etc. If you just need some trim, spend the $20 and be done with it without messing with an entire car. Just my $.02 worth.

I just want the stash of trim parts incase something ever happens. It's hard enough to find trim parts so I'm planing for the future, just incase. I rather buy an old clunker and strip it at my leisure than get stuff from the wreakers. It would probably be more cost effective anyways........if it was $200-$300;) Plus I could save the AOD and build it up into a nice street/strip trans for my T-bird:D Quote Selected
