    Or a Sprint. I stripped one of those a few months ago at a local pull-a-part. :)

    Well, it's a sight I'll show you. I stripped this Sprint in a Pull-A-Part in '06. I tried to buy the whole car from them, but they won't sell entire cars, so I took everything good I could off of it and it went to the crusher. :(

    It was pretty bad but was savable. It was like Jamie said...they wouldn't sell the whole car either. There's another yard here with a 70 I offered to buy. It was a flood victim but has lots of good parts. It was a very nice car before katrina but they said they would sell parts only...and they think the parts prices are same as new prices. I just laughed and walked out. Told them good luck.

    I thought you had found something even more exotic, like a Bearcat, or Drag N' Fly.

    I hope someday to find or get a Shelby Maverick, that'd be awesome! Since Shelby de Mexico was a local business I see it could be possible to find at least 1 in all the junkyards of my state.

    hehe so now that's how it's called. :rofl:

    Ray, guess no one read the fine print :D.
    Jamie, that was a real good find by the looks of it. I see parts that even I could use.
