Today i went for a drive to find some huge junkyard that everyone around here talks about. Its about 2 hours out into the boonies. The junkyard was a bust as they just crushed 3/4's of their inventory. [member]After leaving we missed a turn and i seen in the distance this:
I could tell from the road that there were quite a few mustangs and some old cars in the field beside some old modular type home. I went down the drive way about 1/2 mile long and knocked on the door. An old man answered the door and i asked him about his collection. Theres about 60 vehicles total, 45 mustangs of which 35 are of the fox type. Most were 79 - 86. A bunch of convertibles, some T-top Gts, and even 2 svo's but thats beside the point. I snagged a few pics before i went to the door.
He had some old galaxies, a fair lane, a 60's thunderbird, a 67 coupe, and TWO 67 Fastbacks that are rough. He wouldn't let me walk through the yard, but from the porch i could see one in the back that was basically a primed shell with nothing in front of the fire wall. From the road this is the one that caught my eye.
The tag on the plate expired in 84, the interior is all there and complete. Father and son drove 10 hours away to drag this home maybe ten years ago. Since then, it hasn't moved. It has some impact damage on the front passenger bumper/fender and the rear driver bumper/quarter. Basicly as structually sound as your 67 project POS. Theres All kinds of wrought. The man goes on to tell me that hes a vet, and dying with cancer. All this stuff now belongs to his son that wasn't home. The son is mainly into the fox cars, and restores and collects them on his free time. He gave me the name and number so i could call and talk to him. I don't even know if he wants to sell either of the fastbacks, but i wanted to get a game plan together before i even call. To me this would be a multi year rotisserie project. I don't really have the disposable funds at the moment, but opportunities like this never come around here. Both have good titles, so i would be interested in either. Any Input?[/member]
