It's criminal that it reached that condition before you got it 3legs. Great job on the resto.

a few months ago i saw on ebay one of the yellow and blue ford cop car mfp sedans go for under a grand, it was pretty crap looking, and was a 6 cyl automatic. they said it started but wouldnt go into reverse on the add.

i dont know if it was genuine, but looked the part, probably some stunt crash car they put through the caravan..

HaHaHa, turning them over, i was thinking the rare thing would be engine oil and other servicable parts like spark plugs, ol fiers etc..

If there are enough sporting goods stores to raid that everyone can wear football pads, I expect there will be plenty of parts stores to raid too. :P
