Found some hard to find stuff at my local scrap yard

Roland69 · Mar 29, 2006

I went out to take a bunch of crap lying aroung the garage and took a walk over to the "Mustang section" I found a shifter boot and bezel in awsome condition handle knob and all. I seen another one with a sunroof so I went over to look at the weather stripping and it was in excellent condition so I took the inner trim seal and the seal the sunroof sits on (the one that costs about $140). I took the seals and complete shifter boot with the knob still on the handle up to pay for it and he said "don't worry about it" The pile of junk I gave him had two cats one from my truck and one from my dad's truck and he said he will get 35-40 bucks each for them so I said that's fair enough.

What should I do with this stuff should I keep it or stick them on ebay. The sunroof seal on my car is geting kinda rough but I dont know if I could change it without messin something up. My boot and bezel are in good shape but a few mounting tabs are broken off and the one I found today is perfect minus the one tab I broke taking it out

The shifter bezel youre talking about, is it the upper plastic piece, or the lower one that bolts down with the rubber seal on it?

Roland69 · Mar 29, 2006

I got the upper plastic one but I have the other one in the garage with the rubber seal still on it.

Busted07 · Mar 29, 2006

Are you looking to part with that one?

Roland69 · Mar 29, 2006

I don't need it you want it. What 1 are you talking about the stock shifter base with the rubber seal with the spring that holds it on.

Roland69 · Mar 29, 2006

What else should I look for that is hard to find I am good friends with the guy who ownes this yard so parts are always cheep 4 me. I looked around today but couldn't rembember what people wanted that they couldn't find.

Hey. We have NO Mustangs around here in the junk yards. If you COULD, next time you go out there, look for the passanger side clip retainer that holds the hatch cover thing you pull down and hook to the rear and covers the hatch area. The ONLY thing broken on my car.. Here's a pic of what I'm looking for......

Can do. I have them on my car still but I think I'll keep them lol. What if I can only find them red would you still want them you could paint them grey or black.

stang8urimport · Mar 29, 2006

Grey is the most popular color... I wouldn't want to paint them because it'd never match the 15 year old finish on the rest of the panels and pieces ya know? I'll def. pay you for your time and effort!

I'll look next time. I'll give you a PM before I go just incase you find some soon. would you just use paypal

stang8urimport · Mar 29, 2006

Yeah, paypal is the easiest and fastest.

Roland69 · Mar 29, 2006

you know what the car I took the shifter boot from had gray int and it was a hatchback I will stop by again monday and see if there still on the car most don't even have the canvas cover but we might luck out.

Roland69 · Mar 29, 2006

I'll use Foxfan as a reference I shipped him a boot and bezel a while back I even threw in a short handle shifter for nothing. I would use a faster shipping method this time his took almost 3 weeks.

stang8urimport · Mar 29, 2006

Yeah, probably USPS Parcel.. It takes forever... Just send Priority in their flat rate 3.65 envelope. I trust ya man.

I need the piece that slides over the shifter then bolts to the floow. i think its to keep the heat out. it is a rectagle/square looking jobbie, and has rubber in the middle to slide over the shifter handle and keep the heat out. it is usually goldish in color. its the one that is a pain in the ass to take the 2 forward bolts out (they are under the radio)
