Yeah, I stopped by my friend's yard this afternoon un-prepared to strip parts in 35 degree weather, even though I was told a few days ago about a nice Shelby Lancer that came in with low miles.
Car #478 and only 65,000 miles..... paint is in GREAT shape and no rust. According to the original window sticker (I do not have) the car was sold in CA and sent to MD, and then Maine recently. It's a shame to be scrapped with low miles and 100% complete, too...... and like I said, no rust.
I grabbed what I could for the time being, but the head/wheels I'll be going back for in a couple days. I got the Shelby VC, dash plaque, steering wheel and horn button, all center caps, fuel rail. Rear medallion was stolen earlier today before I got there. Going back for rad/cooler, 2 piece intake, and turbo.
Like I said, the body is near mint.... maybe somebody might want to come up here soon to snag the leftovers. Car was an auto with leather, btw..... so no 555.
I'll have pix up in the next day when my friend sends them to me.
Total bummer... my friend that owns the yard just won't budge on selling it complete....
