Does anyone know of a source for salvage GT's, someone who's collecting wrecked cars for parting out? (No specific need yet - just hoping we'll have places to go as Ford sell out of the OEM parts)

X2 Collision in Maryville, IL. They advertise on E-bay. I've used them for many years for all my bodywork. Great place and nice guys, but pricey. Many of us have found parts there.

Rich and Dennis are an invaluable resource for GT owners, so I'd use them before anyone else just to make sure it's worth it for them to stick around.

Rich has helped me out countless times! I've never had to have them work on my car, but if I do, it'll be there in a heartbeat.

I took alot of pics. The only parts good was, clamb, right door, all hardware in drivers door,rear suspension, passenger seat, gauges, all the intertior panels minus the dash and left door panel ( THAT WAS AMAZING All the leather stuff was good) rear window, Motor trans rear bumper, rear frame stubs. Thats it the rest of that car was Destroyed.........

The guy im doing it for had a chassis that had one bad front casting, so i sold him a casting and i am resurecting the DEAD. I kinda gotta lotta parts too........

There was the passenger rear casting and the passenger side frame rail that was good on Fubar's chassis..Other wise cut in half is no Sh.t

Yep, as I recall the floor pan was torn out as the car slide up over a curb. I suspect that my right foot got involved with that curb somehow. Breaking your right leg is a real bummer too; it's hard to drag race with a cast on. I was there when the car sold at auction. I would have bought it for $30 but it sold for almost $70... I couldn't believe it. I think the buyer was from Houston. Are you rebuilding it for that guy? I am guessing you are not going to do a 'close to stock' build?

No it will be 100% stock and the chassis the guy has to fix it was black with silver stripes so it worked out great. It sold to a guy in Kansas city and has not been touched since he bought it and then I bought it from him. If you remember I tried buying it from you before it went to auction. Well i ended it up with it just 3 years later LOL I'm takn alot of pics of the car going together and your old car coming apart...I felt bad for your feet when I started takn it apart. WOW is more like it:)

I didn't connect the dots on that until you mentioned it. I do remember talking with you about the auction. I thought you'd get that thing for sure at the money you were willing to give. I couldn't believe it went as high as it did. As I recall you had a run in with Bony when he was being a little frisky with the moderator powers. Thanks for reminding me... glad you finally got the car.

I could have sworn some of the motor mounts were broken. I was worried that the block would be damaged.

Leaving it stock, really? You'd better get that 2.7 pulley off then.
