Salvage yard find

Not sure wich area to post this, but here goes...
I was just down to pick and pull yesterday. there were at least 8 fox cougars there, and probably 5 or 6 T-birds, a lot of them 4-eyed. if anyone is around Kansas City, i would suggest making the trip , these cars have a lot of great parts. most have all unbroken headlight shrouds and tailights. most have only the usual rust issues, suprisingly few body damages. it is at I435 and Truman road.

My wife and I were down there two weeks ago and I stopped there. There was an 88 bird with an excellent drivers side taillight.  Trunk was locked, and I had no drill. Dangit.  Definitely some nice stuff there.

Hey, 347Thunder... I believe I have spares of those ambers that go in the headlight doors.  Both sides.  Let me know if you get them from the other fella.  If not I'll dig through my boxes of spares and shoot you a couple pics.  I would not look to make much off them.  Just tell me what they're worth to you, pay shipping, and we'll both be happy.  Mine are out of the 83-86 thunderbirds headlight door surrounds.

I won't be up there for another month at least. I just wanted to make sure  people knew about it. they aren't all together in a spot, they are scattered around the ford section, but they are ther. I don't remember any red interios, but there were alot of tan interiors.
although they had an royal purple 85 cougar I wish I could get, it didn't look too bad body wise and it would have been good to restore. one had turbines on it, but the driver's side were toast, shredded.
