Hey guys - I know that you can sympathize with this one....
My favorite JY near my house got in a black 88 TC about two weeks ago - looks just like my car. I have been wanting to get the motor/5-speed out of this car, along with the 3:55 and the three good wheels. Just couldn't come up with the time.
I found out that the TNRCC (State environmental reg. agency) had ordered the yard to shut down, and on Monday they had a going out of business sale.
The sale was "everything you can pile into a wheelbarrow" for $25.00. I missed getting an engine/tranny combo for $25 BUCKS! Not to mention that I would've gotten all of the wiring, sensors, ABS, PRC, switches, plastic parts, etc. in the damn wheelbarrow, too! Not only that, there was a 1992 Mustang just down the row that I NOW know has the RR camshaft in it. It also had a T-5!
Here's the kicker - the cars are still in the yard, these parts are still on them, and they are going to crush them & won't let me buy anything off of them!
Tragedy on a Shakespearian scale!

P.S. - the fine for operating out of compliance was $10,000 per car, per day. It was easier just to shut the doors :~<
