What parts are hard to find?

Coast2CoaStang · Oct 16, 2008

Just curious, what factory parts people are having trouble finding for their builds? The fox cars seem to be getting scarce for certain clean used parts, and there are quite a few parts not available reproduction. So what parts are difficult to find, or wish were offered from an aftermarket company?

Factory fenders, front/rear bumpers and gt ground effects. also some other trim stuff. although the fenders/bumpers can be had aftermarket(quality soso) you can't get any gt rocker skirts or fender ext. period.

All these things listed we have sitting in storage, lol.

I had been looking for 87-93 manual door panels, and arm rests for someone. They seem to be few and far in between.

That shouldn't be too hard to find. Most 4-cylinder stangs came with them. Have you tried this place?

There was a kit for sale here in L.A not long ago. I think they wanted like $600 or something for it. They had it listed on Ebay, like 2 times. I don't remember if it sold or not.

There is also a Mustang only junkyard right by the Sun Valley Pick-A-Part. The prices are extremely high though .

That guy is an absolute jerk. When I went there he was very rude, and pushy. He could barely speak English. He did not leave a good impression on me. He had ridiculous prices, and I straight out told him he was full of it, and that I could get the same part new and cheaper than what he wanted.

Coast2CoaStang · Oct 16, 2008

Same here. I told him to walk through with me then, and that I wasn't a thief. I flashed the green, told him I was a serious buyer and he finally caved. I negotiated to a price that was still kind of high. That was the first and last time I personally bought anything.

I had a friend go there with literally a truck load of nice parts for fox-04. My buddy wanted one 79-93 fender in trade for the whole truck load, and the guy said no. I don't understand the guy's mentality.

no bro. i forget what company but you could probably find it with a search. You can get the quarter windows w/mustang logo" brand new

Coast2CoaStang · Oct 16, 2008

I just did a search and can't find anything being produced. I looked on LMR and they don't even have the generic ones available at this time. I did find this set, and it says they're new. Most likely NOS. Definitely not cheap.

If anyone knows if or where they are available, please post a link

Guys...I bet I have a lot of the stuff you need. I've save FOX stuff for years, and I am alwyas buying new ones to have in stock. They are rare in Michigan. You never see a fox on the road anymore.

You guys think Mustang parts are hard to find... try finding parts for a Capri!

For me it's all about 4 eye interiors without having to sell a kidney to afford. I'd like to see some high quality dash pads for less than $200. Also for some reason around here, clutch forks are hard to come by.

What parts are hard to find?
