JY Score and WTF is going on...

I wont down to the local bone yard today since i hadn't been there for awhile, and what the heck...
2 more heritage birds, This is 6 i've come across at this yard now in 8 years, and i don't go very often.

Is here something specific to the heritage manufacturing up in here in Washington?... or is it just coincidence.
Or, Are they just more common than i'm thinking. :hick:

They were in pretty bad shape, But one had a factory sunroof! first i've seen on a heritage.

Other cars in the yard (quite a selection this time around).
an '89 mustang cobra!~COMPLETELY STRIPPED. :punchballs:
i got really excited when i saw some big chrome 5 spokes sitting next to it... i dunno what happened the rims, but they weren't even worth the $15.00 a piece. :mad:

2 other fox mustangs that were totaled, 2 87-88 V6 birds.

a classic el camino that was honestly the most rusted car i've ever seen, and im pretty sure it was never on fire or underwater either.

and 2 more 83 v6 birds, one of which oddly enough had this on it:

Got the entire setup for 36.50. :D

the fog lights are busted to hell for some reason... but everything else is in great condition:


Been looking for a TC bumper setup for ages. :hick:

yea only 1 set of un-broken clear signals out of the 4... i have a feeling people (even some employees) run through the yard and bust stuff like this for fun. :mad:

oh!
And the heritage with the sunroof also had a rear sway bar... was this an option?
I should get back in there and grab that probably... forgot about it :hick:

Yea there was.
It was just a gt that had the word cobra stenciled on the hatch.
It was nothing rare but they did exist from the factory,have seen many over the years.

I started to post the same last night, then remembered the CA Cobras... Decided to see who stepped in it first :D (sorry Pauley)...
Romeo2k is near the border, figured it had to be from up North...

Yah those Cobras mean nothing except that it's a Canadian GT. It was supposed to be a way for Ford to keep the trademark active during that time.

the '85-'93 GT COBRAs were no different then the Gt's, the ONLY thing "special" about them was a decal that said Cobra....  they were just a regular GT with a Decal, thats all..
