Sad junkyard Tbird story January 05, 2011, 07:13:01 PM So I went to the local Pull-a-Part yesterday looking for a Tbird or Cougar with red interior that I could get some pieces from for the Turbo Coupe. As my gf and I walk into the yard, on the first row of Fords, I spotted a 4 eye Tbird. When I got closer, I was appalled at what I found...Before tearing into it, I called up dad to see if he wanted it for a project car, at which point I inquired about purchasing the car. Unfortunately, they are not able to sell whole cars. Such a shame, because this was a beautiful 4 eye. An 83 to be exact. So then I took pictures to preserve her legacy, which will also live on in my Turbo Coupe. Rest in peace. Quote Selected

Sad junkyard Tbird story Reply #7 – January 05, 2011, 08:51:29 PM S.O.B...that is a shame!! WTF is wrong with people to send a nice car like that to the junkyard? I guess it just goes to show that most people could care less about these Fox T-bird/Cougars. To 99% of people they are just old 80's cars. Quote Selected
Sad junkyard Tbird story Reply #8 – January 05, 2011, 08:56:28 PM I found an 83 5.0 bird. Looked brand new, even had the hood emblem. Perfect leather seats. Body looked brand new. Went through the glove box and found a receipt saying it was serviced at 67k miles like 6 months before I saw it. I have no idea why it was junked. Maybe blown tranny? Quote Selected

If I make a return trip, I'll snag them for you.This encounter has made me even happier to know that I've at least been able to keep 2 Tbirds from suffering such a fate, along with all the stuff that the rest of you guys own. Let this be motivation for us all. :) Quote Selected
Sad junkyard Tbird story Reply #10 – January 06, 2011, 12:07:20 AM By the time Fox T-birds or Cougars get into the yard by me they are beat to hell. I'm lucky I've never seen a Fox like that in the yard.The one car I saw in the yard that ticked me off was during C4C two years ago. It was a loaded pearl white 97 4.6 T-bird Sport with 45,000 miles on it. It was a C4C trade in. The car was mint, mint, mint with leather. I would have loved to have it as a DD. Quote Selected
