    Lots of cars would be my first guess.:rofl2:

    Seriously $70 won't get you much out here, but if you can I'd see about bucket seats and tracks, good steering wheels, of course grabber hoods and spoilers, small bumpers and brackets. :)

    What do you need? I always go with a list of stuff that I'm looking for. After I fill my list, or don't find what I'm looking for, then I look at other stuff just to see if I see something I might want. If you have never been junkyarding, it's easy to get sidetracked looking at stuff you don't need.

    Here is Frank and Earl as they pose with their trophies. One Taurus fan got away because of the impact had it wedged between the block and cradle.
