I'm on a list to get notified when cars I want stuff from get put out on the yard. This 93 vert became available this morning. I got there as quick as I could which was about 1:30 pm. Too late! The first three pics show what became available at 8am. The 4th and 5th pic show what was left when I arrived at 1:30. I wanted the trunk lid but I was too late. There were two guys still stripping it when I got there. According to them, there was a ton of good stuff on it. It's a wonder how this thing even made it here. Could have been parted out for some decent money.

That would have been a good trunk lid with no luggage rack. Bone yard makes the money on that. Whats up with the rims, and who sends a car like that to the junk yard.

Dude that was there just got done taking an 8.8 rear out of it. It was not the run of the mill 8.8 either. Some kind of beefed up aftermarket with beefy axles , studs and special aluminum cover. Was a huge score for him. Wheels had Hoosier tires and they were decent. Coil overs in the front, also nabbed by the dude who beat me there. Interior was not bad at all but also gutted by the time I got there.

I too am really surprised this car got junked. Maybe someone got in a bad way somehow and couldn't rescue the car from property that when into foreclosure or something. Then the bank just scrapped everything. Just a guess but something that I could imagine

Comfortably numb?

Wow chop shop stripped in hours!

Dang that thing looked pretty clean to give away to a pick and pull. I would have tried to buy the whole car if I was one that got there early on. Sad that car could have cleaned up nice.

May have been a 'stolen-recovery', if insurance or police impound it went to auction.

JD1964 · Jul 21, 2021

Apparently the car started life as a 4 cyl then was converted to 8. Before winding up in the boneyard it was converted back to 4, although some of the “good stuff” still remained on the car.

The 4cyl that was in it looked more modern than what I’m used to seeing in Foxbody Mustangs. I didn’t get a pic of it but it had two plugs per cylinder, one on each side of the head for each cylinder . Serpentine belt system and a metal cover over the timing belt. Anyone have an idea what this motor might have been?

The last 4cyl fox mustang I had was a duel plug engine, don't recall what year.

Mustang5L5 · Jul 21, 2021

91-93 were dual plug wasted spark. 100 HP

I think it was around 91' IIRC. It was the dual-plug 2.3 head that was used in the Mustang and Ranger.

EDIT: @Mustang5L5 beat me to it

Ok then maybe I’m just not familiar enough with them

That's a shame. The ole lady coulda used those wheels.

AUSTEXLX · Jul 21, 2021

What a shame. Sad to see another one go to the crusher.

Yeah those front brake hoses looked pretty special. What do they cost new?

Monkeybutt2000 · Jul 25, 2021

Shoulda' grabbed the fender liners

$100-150ish or so.

IMHO they have a lifetime and it’s not worth the risk.

Heck the spare tire cover would be worth something. $50 on lmr, and considering the price of plywood these days....
