I am a bit of a scrounger when it comes to these places, ever since they opened the "recycle shop" at all the local tips.
Over the past few years i have found what i call... an amazing amount of "expensive" XB parts there.
My first find was a near MINT XB GS grill..... with just one crack ! This was in 2000.... Cost $5 !
Next was an XB centre console for a manual .... $5
A MINT XB superfringe AM radio with facia plate and intact wiring.... $5
A set of GT drivings light mounted on XC driving light mounts.... (Needs the reflector part re-chromed and one new lens) but other wise fine ...$5
And today I did a the biggest neck snapping double take ! A familier shaped gauge caught my eye as it was partially hidden under a mound of junk......
Though obviously is an air pressure gauge... it will be easy to renumber the face.
Oh yea... the price.... $5 !
What auto-motive treasures have you guys come across? It doesnt have to be Ford related, so long as the parts are "rare" and "expensive" Or gotten from swap meets.... ?
