For Sale Parts From Today's Junkyard Crawl

[1997ThunderbirdLXV6]

As I mentioned in the crawl post, not much came out of today. Few good pieces though. More pics to follow; I just want to get this post out. Shipping extra; meet in person preferred where possible.

Header Panel

• From 1996 Thunderbird.
• Was still attached with factory rivets.
• No cracks; a real beauty.
• Mounting brackets 99% rust free, rare!
• $275 + shipping.
• Notes:
  • This piece is very time-consuming to remove!
  • TBSCshop lists it for $399.
  • PITA to ship.
  • @Little Ice-Cable , you have first go; let me know.
  • Now available to any buyer!

Seat Trim

• From 1997 Thunderbird.
• Light Prairie Tan.
• For manual driver seat.
• No cracks.
• $40 + shipping.
• Notes:
  • Since I know someone will ask: I didn't pick up the track because it was so rusted that I broke my ratchet on the rear nut.
  • I know there's a tiny demand for this, if any; I just took it for the rarity.

SOLD: Lower Grille Guards

• From 1996 Thunderbird; fits 96 and 97.
• Set of four.
• $10 + shipping.
• Notes:
  • This type of part I pick up just to make up for gas money, etc.; reminds me, I should have picked up V8 badges. Damn.
  • These Guards are entirely unnecessary, but I know you want them. I'll clean them up, too.

Shift Knob

• From 1997 Thunderbird.
• Non-leather.
• 4-wire connector; however, I have a 2-wire harness which can be substituted.
• $30 + shipping.
• Notes:
  • I will verify O/D button continuity before shipping.
  • Good solution for someone tired of goo leaking syndrome.

SOLD (to myself): Hood Latch

• From 1996 Thunderbird.
• $35 + shipping.
• Notes:
  • I picked this up for myself because my latch is gummed up badly, but it's still functional.
  • If anyone needs one urgently, I'll sell it.

SOLD: Fuse Cover

• From 1996 Thunderbird.
• Notes:
  • This example is spoken for! I just post it for completeness.
  • This type of little stuff I'm happy to pick up for you with advance notice; it doesn't warrant a trip to the yard on its own, but it's easy to pick up along the way.
  • Small sales really help with gas, too!

I mean I enjoy it, but I was a bit disappointed by today's harvest considering the long drive. It's hard to gauge what'll sell, and what's worth the time it takes to remove the part.

The header panel is now available to any buyer. In-person meeting preferred! It's not ideal to ship.

You’re luck there’s even MN12s in the yards near you. I got nothing here in MA.

Well, this last run wasn't exactly  near me; I drove all the way to Greensboro. Do you need anything in particular?

I’m looking for a 94/95 SC auto console top, but those are super rare.

Do you care about finish? I have one with good tabs but with the rubberized paint stripped off

I just sold one cause I decided to go with the auto top.

Yeah, it has to be mint. I’m ocd.

Achieving a stock-equivalent  black finish is not hard. Either use PlastiDip or, for a more durable finish, something like Rustoleum 2x "Ultra Matte".

The difficult thing is matching the Cougar panel colors.

Well let me know if you get desperate in your search, I’m not looking to get rich off of it, I forgot I even had it until today and am not trying to actively sell it, but if it can get good use I’d be happy to let it go from my hoard.
