I don't know, do you want me to try to find out for you?

Yes please, And also how much it would be for your time + shipping to 98037.
Was there any Fog Light Stuffs left?

Hate seeing early TC's in that condition, But at least the parts are getting used.

The early TC didn't have fog lights , but the brackets might have still been there. I wouldn't think the cluster would cost anymore than 35-40 bucks, I'll find out while I'm there today.

Hey guys, I just got back. Please see this thread for all the pics. http://www.foxtbirdcougarforums.com/showthread.php?t=26597

Romeo, the sign said clusters are $30 this yard also charges a "prep fee" and tax.

Jangus, I dug around in the white TC but still did not find the shifter . The inner marker lights are in decent condition. There is a pic in my other thread.

Yuck, you guys like those wheels? Here is some pics of the interiors. I'll probably go back in a few days and pick up some stuff.

Wow, major score on Fox body cars. I haven't seen this many in one place for years!

Including an 83 Heritage and 84 TC!!:mad:

Is this interior from the red 84 you posted a picture of in the other thread? A twin to my 83.

I notice it has different map pockets on the doors, I need to check to see if the 83 mesh style were unique to 83 only???

Thanks for the pictures.

Just curious, if you get back could you check the floors and the bottoms of the doors to see if the rust issue exists out there too? I'm sure it's a lot worse here in the northeast but curious to know if there will be any source of rust free parts.

I was also surprised at how many Fox body cars were here. This is a very large yard though, I would say easily 1000+ cars. This yard also has a sister lot on the other side of town that I may be checking out soon.

Yes, the tan interior is the red TC.

If the cars are from the region I would say rust would not be an issue, but I will check if I go back out there.

Great, thanks.

And feel free to keep snapping pictures, before long the cars will be gone and that's all we'll have to look at.

You have a goldmine there!

Hrm... So with everything (cost, prep, tax, shipping and your time) how much you think it would cost? My zip is 98037.

And my base '84 came with that style door panel and see it alot at the yard when early foxes come in (always broken).
I've seen a reg '83 in the yard awhile ago w/ manual windows that had mesh pockets~Otherwise i've only seen Heritages with this style:

If anyone comes across the C-pillar light assemblies from an 83 Heritage, please let me know. They don't have to be working light assemblies.

Well, some bad news. I stopped by the salvage yard today to pick up a pigtail for a stereo I just got for my Fiero. I decided to go back to the Ford section to see if they had any new Fox body cars. I was pretty hopeful as I walked back there because I saw a row of MN12s out in the aisle, but then I noticed they were taking the cars out of Cougar/Tbird section. I asked how many of these cars were going and the told me all of them. The next car to go to the crusher was the maroon 83-84 TC. I've been heartbroken all day because of it. I hope there is still some Foxes left next time I run down there.

Well that sucks...

I just don't know how so many TC's end up in junkyards but it seems so few are ever for sale.
