lmao lol, GO BACK AND TAKE THE FUEL LINES!!! i bet they are rotted on all of them!
Wow, I like that 2-tone 4 eye bird :(
Is that what I think it is?
what IS that?
early 70's LTD
Does that stripe signify anything special? Almost reminds me of an old Yenko stripe.
yeah, that was my first thought, too...possible 429?
where is there a stripe on that? king hes not talking about the blue thing
Um....he did reply to my stripe question, so I'd guess he's talkin about the blue one...who knows
thats blue thing looks like some sorta import look right below the arrow thats what he talking about
the green car. early 70's ltds/galaxies had 429's as an option, then 460's in '73 sorry for the confusion. As a hobby I walk jy's looking for oddball stuff. most older big cars get overlooked, but hold big engines.
i knew it. looks rotted and i bet if it had a 429 someone ripped it out
I should have looked, but was just trying not to get sucked into the mud and muck.
I think there was a very nice cat there but deep water pervented me from getting to it. There were a lot of stangs 65-71's, A hell of a lot of fox stangs. Lots of Bugs.
Go Find Me Fuel Lines!!!
I need rust free quarters, lol. I was at the local jy last week, and 2 87/88 cats were crushed waiting to be put on the trailer. :disappoin
If you could, please please PLEASE get the VIN's and door tag info (paint code, interior code, axle code) for the registry. Taking a clear shot of each door tag will work just fine. I beg you! :hick:
and when you do that check the fuel lines, ill give a arm and leg for good ones!
Jesus christ.... You are getting me ALOT of parts off those birds....:beatyoass:
The only striped car I see there that looks interesting is that red Torino next to the red LTD wagon in the sixth pic down. The Kharman Ghia in the first pic looks interesting, too.
I'd love to be let loose in a junk yard like that. Looks like there's lots of interesting old iron there. Round here our yards crush anything older than ten years.
My local is luck if you have 96 or older. The "prize" there is HALF an 87 LX Vert 4 cyl stang
to bad about that burned tc
Wouldn't mind the eraly Stang' hatch from #6
lol, my local jy owner is an old rodder, and keeps everything 1980 and older, everything 80's and newer are boring to look at for him, so he crushes them.
Look at all that glass that's in good shape! I'd be grabbin some of that door glass.
Look at the blue car below the arrow in the pic HAVI reposted ;) . I wonder what that is anway
It looks familiar, but I can't place it. I've seen them red and yellow with the same stripe.
I was only able to go through half of the yard, there is a whole other yard to explore too.
Well when you go back, I need 83-4 TC tails, an 85-86 style grill ( white would be nice), And if they have any good, all the 83-84 bird logo's you can get.
Fila man, I think the only '85 that would have a white grille would be a Fila, honestly. They aren't hard to spray paint, though.
T/c would too IIRC. Didn't they come body colour?
The Jy i got my TC rear from put the TC back in the yard, even after cutting the left rear quarter panel out of it, instead of crushing it. I was suprised I thought they would just put it on the pile to be crushed. I am glad they didnt thought the doors are in great shape, no rust. Though now there are some dents in the body from moving it.
I was thinking either Datsun B210 or Toyota Corolla. Possibly an early Tercel, but I don't know if they made those in four door. Either way, Kingcars - I said the only
interesting striped car I could see was the Torino ;)
This one gives me ideas!

That would make sense - wasn't the Kadette the car the Chevette was born from? If you look at that car the "greenhouse" looks quite similar to a mid 70's Chevette, except of course it's got a trunk...
Well also if you look at the rear of the stripe..you see "OPEL" ;)
My mom had a Kadett wagon when I was younger. We had a semi run a red light and basically stop with the trailer wheels sitting on the hood....*crunch*
did you bring a weed eater?
I would have guessed a machete.....
"I say, old bean, I'm on the hunt for elusive fox body parts"
Yea I saw that too! I think we need more pictures. Can't remember the last time a vintage piece like that in a JY.:confused: and if I found one today I would be shocked.
Didn't only the GT's have the stripe?
I would seriously like to know more about the JY car.....
Kinda made me sad....I think it might be an '84 Elan?
(http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p95/xr7cat/P5070005.jpg)I need the tails and all emblems off this if ya gan
Are my eyes playing tricks on me or does the DS taillight of that bird have a chunk missing from it?
If you're asking about the red car in your question, it's a 1968 Torino GT Fastback. I got one of those for my 16th birthday except mine was white with a red stripe. That was the first year of the 302. That's 5.0 for you young guys. We used to throw those wheels away and put Keystones/Cragars/Westerns on them. Now those factory chrome rims are going for over $100 a piece. Oh well.
it, I didn't eve see it. I was busy looking for tails that I didn't even see the chunk. Thanks for the save B man
I would have saved for it too!
Romeo, what do ya need off it. I want wole header panel and front bumper?
Just need/want the front bumper.
When i got my 'bird It had damage to the front end, All cosmetic (A pole or tree straight down the middle of the grill or something at low speed?, heh).
Got everything i need except a replacement bumper cover, Was hoping for a TC Style.
The one i have isn't terrible its just tweaked, so i figured id just change it out/upgrade it while i've got everything off.
*cue sad music*
( In whiny voice)
But I want it....
Or one better, you can have my front bumper if I can get this one..
lol, well cougar 86_89 called it before me i think.
I've got a spare header panel but its not in that great of a condition from being uninstalled and moved around, Got it with the car.
Its half black primer half factory red, has some chips/cracks and is missing some mounting points/bolt downs. :hick:
Was lucky enough to find a near mint replacement for it before they tore down the junkyard up the street to turn into a walmart. >.<
I love the 2+2 Datsun Z in one of the pics as well
