Title: I made the boneyard run....
Post by: vinnietbird on February 16, 2008, 12:29:51 PM
I made it to the boneyard and back this morning.It was a little icy,and the rain started heavy as we were leaving.I can get few things that some members here want,but it'll have to wait for a dry,warmer day.I was able to get the following in the hour I was there....-rear bumper and bumper cover-2-TC Throttle position sensors-2 TC IAC's in awesome shape-2 '88 TC computers one auto,one 5 speed-'87/'88 Taillights in nice shape-blue dash speaker covers-Dash storage cubby-console storage cubby- automatic tranny console shifter trim panelAll for $40.00.Not too bad.I'll restore the taillights and sell them,along with most everything else except the bumper and cover.

They're all over around here.My buddy bought the entire vent window/window track assembly for his '76 Mustang and a couple of other trim pieces for $20.00.That's where I bought the 3.55 8.8 rear for cheap.I may go back and get the 3.73 rear as well.If nothing else,I can sell the disc setup from it and then sell whichever differential I choose not to put under the sport.I'm sure I can sell one for more than $120.00 pretty easy.I was wanting to pull the Mark VII rear backing plates and brake sensors,but it was too rainy and cold.There's a lot I still have to go back for.
