Does that stripe signify anything special?  Almost reminds me of an old Yenko stripe.

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 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.

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:

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.

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.

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.
Title: Went to the JY today! (56K grab a beer)
Post by: Ifixyawata on May 08, 2007, 08:18:55 AM
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 ;)

Opel Kadett....
Title: Went to the JY today! (56K grab a beer)
Post by: Thunder Chicken on May 08, 2007, 02:25:11 PM
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...
Title: Went to the JY today! (56K grab a beer)
Post by: Chuck W on May 08, 2007, 02:55:45 PM
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*

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.....

Post by: FLSTCI71 on May 11, 2007, 09:45:18 PM
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.

Post by: Romeo2k on May 13, 2007, 04:43:00 PM
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.

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. >.<
