There is this crazy old guy that has NASTY race/street cars parked in front of his house. All of which have at least 600hp or more. (old mustangs, fairlanes, fairmonts, etc...) so me and my buddy who is a die hard ford fan decide to finally stop and shoot the shit with the guy. The guy has a shop on the side of his house where he does all his work. He works on normal cars, builds racecars, has a tow service, and also has a 15 acre junkyard out back!!! So we ask him if we can take a look around and he says yea have fun. (awesome!) So were walking around and finding all kinds of cool shit. 60's stangs, fairlanes, galaxies, camaros, trucks, dsms,................................................................and unfortunately this......

That is pretty awesome, wonder if the man even knew what it was with him being a V8 guy? You need to go back and strip that thing down to nothing.

I'll try to get back there this week. I Need to get a rear for my bronco, so while I'm there I'll talk to the guy and see if he'll let me strip the car for "x" amount of dollars. And don't worry no body knows about this place or that this car is here so I'll have the car to myself.
If you guys want start making a list of parts for me to pull and if u want pics of certain parts let me know.

I know the feeling well. I came up on an '89 Colt GT in the junkyard a few years back. It was actually in REALLY good shape. Only had 108k miles on it, had power windows, and was a fairly complete car. The junkyard wanted way too much money for it, and it would have had a junk title meaning I wouldn't have been able to register it, so I couldn't buy it. Instead some friends went down there and raped it of any valuable part they could get and sold the parts to people here on the forum. At least the car was able to live on in other people's CSM's. I'll try to find the pics of it later tonight.

Mirage's didn't come with power window's, just the colts unless you got them from the factory
