Title: heading to the junkyard thursday
Post by: turbo_88_XR7 on October 04, 2010, 11:54:32 PM
anyone want me to keep an eye out for anything? there are at least 8 87-88 birds and 5-6 cougars.. no idea about the 4 eyed cars, never really paid any attention to em, but there are a few of each. the yards prices are by far the cheapest in all of south jersey and probably cheaper than most yards across the US. where else can you get a hood off of anything for $20? :D lol

just let me know and i'll make a list of things to look out for, i go at least once a week and can grab anything anyone wants.. i'll also take a pic of their price board so you know what costs what

Mountaineer heads? ;)
Depends what they cost though, and if you can wait awhile, it'll be probably November before I could pay you for them..

lol i already know what you want hahahah.. there's a MN-12 cougar with the explorer top end on it that i want to check out.. it was spotted this morning.. maybe it has some goodies under the heads and intake, because it washiznit in the rear :D

also found out there's a TC or 2 in there, 87-88's.

willing to grab anything anyone wants if you want to cover the cost and shipping. i just ask that if i grab something for you, don't back out and leave me stuck with it.. i already have a bunch of useless(to me) parts.

i also have a cam you might like.. here's a link to summit for all the specs.. came out of a low mile rebuilt motor (4500 or so miles, so it still has a ton of life left) with the GT40 top end.. motor pushed to 13.3's in an auto stang with zero drivetrain work ;)

If you come across a set of gray shoulder belt hooks that attach to the top of the seats I would be interested in those.

If you find any '87-'88 Foxes with 5.0's...might grab the engine harnesses....you'll definitely move those. In fact, I'm gonna look around here since the salvage yard I used to work has recently opened up for business again.
I KNOW they have 2 '87 cars that had V8's (I got the SO out of one when I worked there..)

Hopefully the harnesses are still there...I need to se up money for my stuff lol.

I know you said the front ends of the marks are f'ed up, but what about the interiors? I am in need of a headlight switch, the one with the dimmer/autolamp/headlight/foglight on it.
Title: heading to the junkyard thursday
Post by: turbo_88_XR7 on October 06, 2010, 09:59:16 PM
are they the same as 87-88 tbird/cougar dimmer panels with all the fancy goodies?
Title: heading to the junkyard thursday
Post by: 20thanniver-ls on October 06, 2010, 10:01:42 PM
Maybe a TC (factory foglights) but I'm not 100%. I can snap a quick pic of mine if you need it.

well for the mark 7 guys, you're out of luck, they're gone, same for the 4-eyed cars. 87-88 guys.. you're in luck :D

they're clearing out their ford section of all the (mostly) stripped and bulk cars to bring in 'new arrivals.' i counted 6 87-88 birds and 4 cougars in the 1st row (which is all i can really see from the fence). i don't know what else that have in there, but i'm sure there's plenty more.. maybe even some marks and elans :D

but here are the 2 cars left in the yard they didn't haul back to the crusher.. 1 bird, 1 cougar.. interiors are pretty much gone, but there are still some pieces left laying in them

i uploaded the pics to my photo bucket so you can click the thumbnails below and see a full size view.. also pictured, their price board

That Cougar looks like it has at least the passenger side seat-back shoulder belt hook. (pic #3) Is that interior gray?

Post by: Kitz Kat on October 07, 2010, 05:12:15 PM
I can't read the parts list,but if the the taillight for the cat is good I will take it.

Post by: turbo_88_XR7 on October 07, 2010, 05:44:23 PM
which tail light? passenger side is spider-cracked

and the interior on the cougar was gray, both hooks are there and in good shape

hopefully this works better.. if not, i give up :p
