Parts for Sale

March 20, 2005, 02:51:20 PM

Hey everyone,
I've got a few parts still hanging around and I thought I'd put them on here and see if anyone's interested.
(1) LH/RH red cloth front buckets from an '87 T-Bird Sport - very good shape, red slightly faded on upper outside edges, but no burns, holes, tears, rips, etc.; driver's side full power with power recline, and the passenger side manual with power recline
(2) rear seat cushion from same car, very good shape; don't have seat back
(3) various red panels from same car - kick panels, upper door trim panels, and door sill plates
(4) LH/RH front fenders from an '86 Cougar XR7 - very good shape, only surface scratches, dark red (maroon) over argent gray, trim has been removed, no cutouts for corner lights
(5) full set of 14" steel rims with locking wire wheel covers (key included) with Cougar center emblems from an '84 LS - 2 of the wheel covers are slightly dented, 2 are like new, 2 of the whitewall tires are like new, 2 are about 50% (Cooper Trendsetters, 205/70R14)

Except for maybe the kick panels, I'd rather not ship any of these parts. They're pretty bulky, and I live in a small town nowhere near a UPS or FedEx office. I live in Marshall, IL; 15 miles west of Terre Haute, IN, or 90 miles west of Indianapolis, 3 hours south of Chicago, or 2.5 hours east of St. Louis. As an added bonus, I've got the front bumper cover off of the '87 T-Bird Sport (black) that I'll give to whoever wants it. It's got a split in it on the driver's corner, but I think it could be patched from behind and you'd never see it from outside. Aside from that it's in pretty good shape. Let me know if there's any of these things you'd be interested in. Thanks for checking them out.

Hey, there's a few parts I'd be interested in trading. I'm looking for an auto AOD floor shifter, the auto AOD floor shifter console plate with cutout, a passenger door for my '84 LS with power lock and window, a trunklid for the LS, tan carpet, or a brown dashpad for the '84 LS. I'd definitely be open for trades. Thanks again. Fordman3

Hey, Fordman, would you be interested in "skinning" the front seats and just shipping the covers? I need some red covers that aren't ripped, torn, etc, just like you described. Heck, I'd even buy the whole seats and let you do what you want with the rest of 'em if you'd skin 'em for me...

ThunderChicken,
I hadn't ever really considered skinning them, but I guess it's not out of the question. These seats are kinda like a car itself; they're nice enough that it almost seems wrong to take them apart. Will I ever be able to unload the seats minus covers? Are you absolutely SURE you don't want the whole seats? Would you also need the headrests? I honestly don't know exactly how to skin a seat, but I imagine I could figure it out without too much trouble. What tools do I need? Are these seats hog-ringed? Let me know what you'd be willing to pay for the covers (and headrests?). Thanks.

There we go, it's comin' together now :D

Fordman, I know the seats would be not much good without the skins (Blackjack's post notwithstanding), but to ship them whole into Canada would likely cost hundreds of dollars. Just let me know what you want for the seats, and if reasonably I'd buy 'em just for the covers. You could then do whatever you wanted with the frames (such as sell them to Blackjack, f'rinstance) :hick:

Heck, if you only wanted to skin one, I really only need the driver's seat skin...

Hey guys,
Thanks for all the responses. Sorry to do this, but I'll try to cover everybody's requests in one post, so please bear with me:

ThunderChicken,
I can understand about the shipping to Canada. Does $25 for both covers sound fair, plus shipping, or $15 for the driver's side only plus shipping? Again, can you tell me if you need the headrests? If not, I will make them available to Manson, since he's looking for red stuff. Also, do you need the belts off of the seats? Like I mentioned before, I've never skinned a seat, so any pointers or recommended tools you could clue me in about would be appreciated. Can it be done by a novice without damaging the covers? Thanks for your help.

BlackJack,
Are you meaning the power seat mount under the LH seat? How does $15 plus shipping sound? Please let me know.

Manson,
I've got a pair of red kick panels for under the dash, plus the red panels that go up and over the doors. They are all in great shape. Depending on what ThunderChicken says, I may have red headrests and red front seatbelts available, too. And I have the red cloth rear seat cushion, also in great shape. I forgot to put these in the original list, but I also have a set of red door panels from the '87 T-Bird Sport, with all detachable parts (screw covers, armrests, door handle inserts, etc.). The only thing missing, and I can't remember on which side offhand, is a padded panel that goes right over the upper pull handle. I can get you pictures of any of these if you'd like, just let me know your e-mail address. Even though some of these aren't necessarily heavy, they would be bulky to ship. My zip is 62441. Oh, if I do skin one or both of the front seats, I would have the power recline assembly for each front seat with the corresponding red side panel with the recline switch. I would think these assemblies could be used in any standard manual recline seats. Just let me know what you'd be interested in. Thanks for your interest.

That $25 plus shipping sounds good to me - I'll take 'em both. I don't need the head rests, so Manson can have 'em if he wants 'em. I could use the driver's seat belt buckle, though (I hadn't even thought of it, but now that you mention it the plastic surround on mine is broken). I don't need any other seat parts.

Now, how about the driver's door arm rest? I could use one of those, too... Mine has begun to separate (I think the original owner of this car must have been a heavyweight).

I'm at the cottage right now so I can't show you how to remove the covers, but when I get home I'll take some pics. Just let me know a total (including the seat belt buckle and driver's door arm rest) and how to send the fundage (I can do PayPal if you can, or money order, or whatever)

BlackJack,
You're saying you basically need what's left of the seat minus the covers? Remember it's got the power recline option if that makes a difference. Even without power to the power recline, the seat still tips forward by hand. The seatback just can't be adjusted without power. You're probably within driving distance from me, aren't you. I'm just 15 miles west of Terre Haute. Let me know that I'm understanding what you're looking for, and I'll shoot you a price. I first thought you just needed the power seat mount.

Oh yeah, any word on the '77 F150 flatbed? I was the last one asking about it. Let me know if you could.

ThunderChicken,
I'll get you a price, also, including all the parts you're asking about. There are a couple styles of armrests; do you need to see a picture of mine to know it's the right one? If you can, send me some pictures on how to skin the seats. I have a rough idea, but I just don't want to mess them up. Oh, also, send me your Postal Code (I think that's what you call it) so I can get you a shipping cost.

Manson,
Anything catch your eye? The red cloth headrests are still available, but ThunderChicken has asked for the LH door armrest and LH seatbelts. Just let me know.

BlackJack,
How does $25 for the seat frame sound? For $40 you could have the pair (skinned). Then you'd have matching power recline seats. I'm assuming you would probably want to pick them up? They'll be very hard to ship. I just thought you might want to have the set (and I would really like to find them another home).
On the truck, did you all give up on installing the motor? If I understand right, the truck currently has a 351M in it blown up, but you were going to put a 302 in it. Is that right? Would he sell the 302 that was going in it along with it? The headers you mentioned (sorry I'm trying to recall all the information from the other thread), are they on the 351M or the 302? For the original $150, would he put the 302 in it? Sorry for all the questions, but I am interested. Thanks for the info.
Also, let me know if you'd like one or both seat frames and if you are able to pick up. Thanks again.

Fordman:

I'll try to take pics over the easter weekend (taking the T-Bird on a 600 mile journey tomorrow and Saturday so no time then).

The door panel in my car is the base one (not the Turbo or LX version), so the armrest is the base one as well. It should be the same as the '87 Sport if my old '87 Sport was anything to go by...

If you could take a pic to be sure it would be appreciated tho...

ThunderChicken,
I did a search and found your Postal Code, and my best guesstimate on package size and weight for what you're wanting is right at $25 for shipping; add about $10 for the armrest and seatbelt, plus the $25 for the covers, and the total comes to $60 US. I hope that don't turn you off. My PayPal username is " *EDIT* I've removed your email address now I've done with it so you won't get attacked by spam - Carmen". Hope your trip goes well, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

BlackJack,
I thought of one more question about the truck, if I haven't worn out my quota. Is it a short wheelbase or long? The picture looks like a SWB, but it's hard to tell with the flatbed. Is the blown-up 302 still in it? Anyway, yeah, if I can swing the $100 for the truck (got my fingers crossed right now, next Friday's check can't get here too soon!), I could bring the seat. But if for some reason I can't buy the truck, are you still interested in the seat? Would you pick it up? I guess you still just want the driver's side? Again, my PayPal username is "eric706@comwares.net". And it's $25 for the one, or $40 for both skinned seats if you change your mind. Thanks for all the patience with the questions.

Manson,
Hey dude, you still out there? Let me know if there's anything you'd like.
