parts car...

I bought a parts car back in November, it was hard to part this one as there were only 1725 Montego convertibles made in 1969, but this on was too far gone to bring back. The more I dis-assembled, the more I realized how bad it was. First pics are the beginning of dis-assembly in my parents garage. Note the old pop cans that fell out of the front fender when removed... LOL... Then we towed it up to a friends garage for the final stripping because he has a lift. Still need to get the front suspension pieces for disc brake conversion, and the nine inch limited slip diff, plus the wheels. If anyone needs a nine inch limtited slip 3.00 Ford rear, I'll have one for sale this spring. Also, a convertible top frame, and other parts... not much at all will go to the scrapper... Project stalled because of bad winter weather.

Do you still have the trim fromthe parts car? I could use the lower moulding behind both rear wheels for my 69 MX convertible.

I believe I have that trim, I saved everything that was usable. (and even some trim that wasn't, so I had something to practice restoring trim on) I will need some time to verify that I have the lower rear quarter trim, very busy now with work. It might be after the new year before I have time to dig through everything I have in the basement. Leave your email and I'll get back to you.

I have a 69 montego convertible. I kind of let it go without giving it the tlc it needs. I guess i need to let it go to someone who loves to bring her back to life. If you know anyone who wants to buy her, let me know.
