I found and bought a second parts car today.

I found this car down in Albany, OR on craigslist for $600 and was really happy to grab it.  The car is rusted out beyond fixing, but, with it comes: a complete fold down rear seat assembly, complete black interior, complete dash (with original radio), exterior trim, 2 mirrors, steering wheel, 5 pieces of glass, complete doors, 4 factory hubcaps, 4-speed pedals, a manual transmission, 351C engine parts, an inflator canister, 3 boxes of stuff I can sell if I don't use it.  I will strip the car of everything worth saving and then call Schnitzer Scrap Steel to come take it away to the crusher.  I may even make a little $ selling it to them.

Day 1: I bought the car in Colton, Oregon and had it towed to my house. This is how everything looked on day 1.

It is the most solid mustang I have ever purchased.  I can't believe how straight the panels are and there is NO RUST!  It looks like previous owner had all the body work done, primed and blocked it, and was ready to seal and paint it.  Then left it outside for 5 years, unfinished.









Embarrassment of Riches

Not only was the car mostly complete with parts, in some cases, there were 2 or even 3 of the same thing.  I can use the best pieces and sell the rest on Craigslist or eBay.
