    There is one locally that is pretty well picked over. It is a 4 door with a blue interior. Going to look at it for some parts this weekend.

    Being in a metro area, our big yards here cycle through cars pretty fast. They have them in the yard for a month or two, and crush them.

    15 years ago, I could stumble upon a Mav or Comet in about every two to three months or so.

    A couple of years ago, it was maybe one per year.

    Lately, it has been about one every six months. I think the economy has to do with it ... "would-be" projects meet reality, and get towed out of the backyard. Still, every one I have run into lately was really done for... pretty rusty for here.

    Nothing like up north though ... :rolleyes: ... that is why you don't find them there.

    I got diverted today, primarily due to rain, secondarily due to the wife having other ideas.

    If you need something, I will be heading back there tomorrow.
