    EEE Straight out of lo-cash!

    A 77 LTD sounds like something you would stumble on every now and then, I rarely ever go into the Ford section, I'm more in-n-out since time is critical when you hit a few yards in one day. When you stumle on something that will take some time to retreive, you want as much time as possible left to do it.

    GStage1 Always looking for parts!

    73-74 are the only 2 years with the true dual exhaust trans x-mbr
    Has two humps for 2 exh pipes.
    75-77 have only one on the pass side and many people want to put dual exh on those models but need to get the 73-74 x-mbrs.
    You can easily sell those for $90-125 each.

    I bought a dual hump one a while back for the princely sum of $10 from a demo derby friend :TU: (who also lets me grab all the '76 Buick parts I want for free)

    if you can grab them, go for it!!

    OhioState Deuce & a quarter

    My dad always told me that was half the fun. I remember a couple years ago when I was 18 carrying the rear bumper over my shoulder and trying my best to hold a door I was carrying up and out of the mud. We were looking for parts for my 4 door 84 Lesabre, and we were all the way in the back, my arms were jello when we got back up to the front. I wore tennis shoes also, so my socks and pants were soaked with old muddy water.

    On the white '63 Special... can you take some pics of some stuff for me? I'd like to see what kind of condition the master cylinder is in, as well as the transmission pan (if it's a automatic), and please see if it's a 4bbl 215, I might be interested in the carb and manifold if it is. I also need a wiper knob if it has one still intact.

    Hi,
    Did they have any 1968 Cadillac DeVille convertibles and/or Coupe DeVille's?
    Need the 6 stainless steel fender/door trim that goes on both sides (3 on each), the 2 "DeVille" emblems on the rear fenders and the "Cadillac" emblem on the trunk lid.
    Thanks in advance!
    Regards - Hans

    Stuff is getting harded to find in the yards, especially 50"s stuff. Hopefully steel will stay down and what is left will stay around for a while.
