Sweet 87 TC In San Antonio Pick-N-Pull (pictures)

Saw this nice 87 TC today at the Roosevelt Pick-N-Pull in San Antonio, TX.  Recent addition and the buzzards are just starting to swoop on it.  Pictures don't convey well but this car was in great shape before a fire in the dash sent it to the yard.  There was 65K on the odometer and it appeared to be original.  The interior looked to be one of the best I've seen (before the fire).  The Bird had everything but a Moonroof. Hope somebody from the area can harvest a few nuggets from her.


Marchal Fog lights in perfect shape.





Door panels were pristine until some  peeled back both for the speakers.  What a flipp'n idiot.



Rear axle and discs ready for harvest.



Dual power seats.  You can see the melted plastic droppings on the console and fabric.




And finally, the rear lights are in PERFECT shape...no cracking or hazing.

That car was probably in some sort of front end accident at some point as it has an aftermarket header panel.

Now if only I could find tail light lenses like that around here for spares. The ones on my Thunderbird are uncracked but I could always use spares. Too bad the supply of these things in junk yards is kinda sparse around here.

I called the yard.  They want $35 each for the rear tail light assemblies.  If interested I can purchase and send to you at cost.  They're open Sundays and I could have them in the mail Monday morning. Hate to see somebody smash them in the yard.

Thanks but I'll have to pass for now. I'm working on something right now so the disposable cash is in short supply for a bit.

You need to stop investing your money in car wax!

Rear lights are gone.

Wanted the engine but they said (probably mistakenly) they don't have engine lift.
And I can't get my hands on one.

The yard at Roosevelt Pick-N-Pull has fabricated several portable block-and-tackle lifts for engine pulls.  I see them in use all the time.

Idk if that is one of the #s I tried getting ahold of someone.  But I had zero luck getting ahold of anyone to answer questions for me in the past.
