8D5 Gran Fury
Well-Known Member
Was looking over the carcass of an '80 Dippy at one yard today just to see if there was anything of possible interest. Noticed the kick panels had this black piece in them and that the aluminium wasn't scuffed due to those pieces, so I pulled them. Also noticed earlier that the hood ornament was busted off, but the base was there and in excellent shape so I grabbed it (it is now sporting a Plymouth emblem on top, going to pull the Pentastar and install this one...it's more 'right' on a Gran Fury)
Walked over to an '81 LeBaron sedan, and bingo-it's a cheapy "Salon" version. And guess what were sitting in the door panels? Perfect "Salon" badges, so I cut the door panels up so as to remove them w/o busting anything- surgical operations in yards usually never wind up successsfully
Also got a set of 2011/2012, 18"x8", 7-spoke, Buick Lucerne rims (w/the TPS' still on the rims!) that were brand-new take-offs for $295 for my '99 Regal. Not a Mopar, true, but on helluva score for the "Metamucil Express"
Darn good day for 'yarding and picking up deals!:walk:
