Went to pick n pull today

[1.8kmint]

And it was a huge bust... Of the 14 or so foxes that were there and the 5 or so efi foxes absolutely 0 of them had even remotelly intact engines. All of the efis were either completely missing the engine or stripped bare to the block... All of the tailights had there lenses stripped except for one 85 set that had a chip on the top so i avoided snagging them. There were no aftermarket parts on any of the stangs and everything was basically stripped to the bone... The interiors were all in shreds and you could see people had gone specifically after the black and grey pieces. Then i went to browse he suvs looking for explorers and there were no v-8s left with engines. The vultures basically got to everything and all in all it was a waste of 2$ to get in, Now on im sticking to craigslist for used parts...

i have a fully intact efi motor if you are interestted in anything off of it

Wow you actually have 14 foxes in your P+P? Last time i was at the local one here they had a whopping 2 and both were 4 bangers and both were totalled to hell and back. Also not a single V8 explorer in the whole place, but there's always about 100 Civics

Thanks for listening to my rant, but no I'm not interested in the complete motor i just thought it was strange that there were absolutely no foxes left intact that had efi setups. There was one 82 capri i think it was that was in decent shape there but the rest were seriously mangled. I went looking for the coolant overflow and possibly some new tailights (one of mine is cracked), but there was nothing. I also looked at t-birds which didnt seem as scavenged because there were still a lot of 5.0s left in them but the coolant overflow bottle is different... I dont think many people know there the extremely similar to the foxes.

our pick and pull sucks too

 

[stykthyn]

wow 2 dollars?? mine is 1 dollar, but the fox selection is crap, although that is where I got my last exploder v8. 180 bucks from oil pan to throttle body.

 

[Mr. Rustypwnz]

I will pay $1 just to smash everything in the place, it works out well for me, the only thing Ive ever bought from there is a t5..

 

[kevin2m4]

at least it wasnt snowing

 

[Mustang5L5]

Where i live..it' the Hondas that get swarmed over.


I need to go check to see if there are any V8 exploders in our local P&P. I would love to get a full motor

 

[ryan218]

ya im going to pick and pull monday since its a no school day :d

 

[lang williams]

i'm making a list for when it warms up. I need a fiberglass front bumper brace an a front sway bar. i have a heavy bumper brace from the older foxes but want a lighter one.

 

[88mouse]

I went last sunday there were 4 fox's. All of them where 4cyl.. I did get a new engine harness for the Gt out of a 87 t bird uncut.

 

[Mustang5L5]

I love snagging injectors of Mark 8's because they are 24#er's

 

[lang williams]

i also need a clean front bumper cover, but the stuff i need can come off a 4 cyl

 

[LiquidGT]

Foxes absolutly get raped in the JY. Usually nothing in my P&P, but at a local JY I go to has been full of foxes lately, 2 T5 cars, one is a T top with no body damage?

I need to go back and get those supercoupe injectors.

MK 8's have 24's? I know the fans were gone.

 

[Black1987Stang]

I wish NJ had a pull-a-part, I had one when I lived in TN and I got a Taurus fan and alternator, can't beat the prices. I brought home some parts to resell or as backups. It's crazy how quick cars get completely stripped right to the block or frame. Everytime I went I saw mexicans (no offense to any) with wheelbarrels picking out all the high retail sale items like some of the motorized abs/brake booster? units or something like that. It's an ebay haven tho.

all mark 8's? any other factory for cars that come with 24/lb'ers?

 

[LiquidGT]

[Danman765432]

NJ does have some pick and pulls...You just have to look in the right places, like the opposite direction of the Jersey Shore. Up in northern NJ there are a few places like G.I. Auto and Bibs. I know in Jackson there is a mostly mustang junkyard, but I have never been there. G.I. and Bibs normally dont have to many mustangs though.

Yeah actually the exteriors of most of the cars werent in that bad of shape it would be easy to get good quality body parts there its just the interiors and the engines were basically gone or masacred along with all the lights. They mess with some of goods to by leaving the hoods of the cars open at mine while it rains so stuff gets rusted over easy. Some of the cars you can tell have been there for a while cuz they werent lookin to pretty.
