There is a black 90 VNT Daytona at the U-Pull-It in Aurora IL soon to meet the crusher.

The car is pretty beat, but was a nice car once. Black exterior, Black cloth interior, sunroof car.

I was told about the car by another SDAC-Chicago member, by the time I got to it the head, turbo, intercooler, computer, shifter, and 3 of the pumpers were gone.

I braved the cold the other day and pulled the A568 out of it, grabbed the gauge cluster and the remaining wheel (it was in good shape). There isn't much left on the car of any value, the block is very rusty in the bores and won't turn over. The big brakes are still on the car but are also very rusty.

It's sad to see them get crushed, but hopefully all the parts will go towards keeping other's on the road.

I'll post a pic or two once I get them off my phone.

That's too bad... :(

At least that A568 is happy sitting in your garage awaiting a new home. :)

It's too bad we can't save them all. I hate to see the VNT cars go the way of the pteradactyl

A few TBI 5-speed shadows were in the yard if your looking for an A523 other than that a couple TI NewYorkers and TI lebaron, nothing else great or out of the ordinary.

Thought about it, but I've already got one and it was freaking cold out. By the time I got the trans of the Daytona the only thing I could think about was getting into the warm truck and heading home.
