Went junk yarding today. I don't just sit behind the computer.

I went to the first pick-a-part place nearer my house today. I have today and tomorrow off so I like to see what's out there. The first one had a pretty much intact M body and a 1964 Polara with a poly-318.

I drove farther accross town to the next one. I found a 1965 4 door Dodge? It had a poly-318 also and the grill was like perfect.

Then three newer M bodies. I took a factory radiator out of one.

Wow!

We got NOTHING like that up here.

I can't believe what I saw today. Both of those old cars are out of this world. Both grills are in great shape. I would like to spin one of those 318 polys over and see if they can turn.

I wonder how long they will let them sit before they crush them M's.

The grille on that Dip looks like it's in better shape than the one on my 5th!
I don't even see stuff like that here.
They get 'em... They crush 'em.

X2........ Real estate prices, scrap prices and EPA regulations have ended that field day trip around my neck of the woods.

What's a "junkyard"?

I wish.
We got nothing.
Already mentioned before how crush happy they are up here.
While I was observing the two 5th ave pancakes that they said they were save till I could come back the next afternoon...
I watched them mash a fairly minty '77 Granada.
Not a Ford guy but still. How many non-rust bucket Granada's do ya think they really made? :laughing9:
