Went Junkyarding the other day.

Didn't see a Maverick or Comet, its been like 2 years since i've seen one.
But i see a bunch on the road, so i guess that's a good thing.


Any who i did find a 68 Falcon! So I got a fancy reservoir cover and a light switch that i needed.




What was more interesting were these cars:


A T bird on a Chevy truck frame! with a 350 in it.



An this LTD converted into a Tank.






sorry for the crappy pics, my phone was covered in grease so it took crappy pics....and i couldn't find the darn SD card for my camera.

 

And you guys wont care about this , but who cares haha

I also found this little gem, a genuine JDM D15B Vtec. It's really rare to see one of these since they were only put into Japanese market cars. Not the US bound models. It's like the equvilent of finding an unmolested GT40 5.0L.

 

Good old Hillside Autosalvage.

I saw that LTD armored car POS, when I was in Cali 3 weeks ago, someone had too much free time.

 

I dread climbing up those Hills

 

I read a post that you're doing the serpentine setup. Are you looking for JY parts?

 

I am doing the conversion! My friends older brother collects foxbodies and said he had two pulley sets that i could have. Hopefully i can get a good set out of that. I'm planning to have PS and AC also, so we'll see how that works out.

 

wow haven't seen a yard with old cars in them in years. the only thing i see these days are 80 and up cars.

 

Awesome...it's on my want to do list...let me know where I can get some parts. Thanks.

 

I remember years back when Ontario had a variety all the time. They got like a new maverick/comet every month! Now they barely even have any old cars.

Fords are getting rare these days, well the 5.0 based ones. Ontario is the only one who usually has any fox bodies. And they always have a bunch of Crown vics. This junkyard had literally only 3 5.0's....all truck ones.

The pick a part in san berdue is the same. They rarely have a any 302 cars. plenty of truck ones though!....The ecology in Rialto is basically just imports now. They used to have a nice Ford section, but its small now.

 

You all gotta come down to Wilmington, get a new Maverick every 3-4 weeks and plenty of 5.0 stangs. Cool finds!

 

Ever check this place?

i have one set of the gt40's saved for the mav sitting by the Bed

as for the Vtec honda motors most of them are picked i just got a 89 accord for a daily driver

 

I live not far from wilmington (huntington beach), which junkyard are you talking about? I've only checked the pick-a-part in Stanton so far, nothing there besides an old mustang that I couldn't get the seat frames off of.

 

come up north to fresno pick n pull and they usually have least one maverick a month it seems like. My car just wont make it that far so i cant see whats left of em....dono how far your willing to travel to check for parts though
