Saying goodbye to my old TC parts car. November 07, 2007, 01:52:03 PM I thought some of you guys would appreciate this. This last summer I had a couple weeks of free time, so I finished stripping out my black 87 TC parts car, that I had originally purchased 5 long years ago. The pics were taken with my phone, so you'll have to forgive me for the small size and terrible overall quality.Here it is, all dirty from sitting in a quonset for the last 5 years.The hand of doom about to lay grip on the poor old TC carcassA Thunderbird that finally gets to fly.

If it wasn't for parts cars most of our "main" cars wouldn't even be roadworthy. Every T-Bird that dies probably extends the lives of 10 others. Quote Selected
Saying goodbye to my old TC parts car. Reply #12 – November 08, 2007, 12:55:23 AM amen to that...I've got enough parts squirreled away to almost build another Tbird. As of right now, I have a complete 2.3T engine, 2 TC rear ends, one 3.73 and one 3.55, one mustang 8.8 with richmond 3.73s, 3 sets of 11" front rotor/spindle upgrades, a spare TC nose, 3 front TC sway bars, 2 sets of TC wheels, 2 sets of TC parking brake brackets, a spare set of tail lights, 3 spare gauge clusters, and the list keeps going. In total, I've parted out 5 Tbirds. 1 85 TC, 2 87-88 V8s, and 2 87-88 TCs. I also parted out an 88 Mustang GT. The parts were invaluable when it came time to build my Tbird. As soon as I finish the mechanical aspect of the car, I will have a huge parts sale on all this stockpiled stuff.I still feel bad for every one of the Birds I parted out, especially the TCs, but all of them were far beyond reasonable repair when I purchased them, having serious, terminal body rot.

Saying goodbye to my old TC parts car. Reply #14 – November 08, 2007, 04:49:52 PM Ever wonder about the poor guy running the crane? I wonder how many times he has had to hook onto something thinking "omg Noooo!" I would have my 5 acres crammed full of wrecks and be working for nothing if I had that job.SAVE THEM ALL!
