Thread: Wow old parts went quick.

Tweet

I started trying to get rid of all the old Ranchero parts that I will not be using about 6 months ago. I had offers up a rebuilt 302 with only about 3,000 miles on it with a brand new C - 4 attached. No one took me up on it.
Then a good friends grand son came over and said his 302 was worn out, he was real happy to get it with the new trany. I was suprized no one on here jumped on it. Well I posted all my dash instruments, Original under the dash A/C and heater box, Wirring and other dash controlls with other odds and end stuff.
I posted it as all Original Ranchero, Falcon parts for free.
Which everything was for free that I am not using so I can get it out of the way and I won't have to move it, when I re locate.
I posted it Day before yesterday on a Ford site.
With in one hour I had a couple replys from some guys the wanted the stuff for thier projects. Well they showed up yesterday and now it's all gone, and they were real happy to get the stuff. I knew that there were people out there that would want these parts that could be reconditioned.
The problem was getting the word to the right people or the Ford Lovers.
The one guy was working on a beautiful 65 two door Falcon station wagon
that is a bronze, that's one nice car. I didn't know a station wagon could look so good. So I got to make some new friends too, Kool.
So Dave I guess we are are not the only Ford lovers. HE! HE! HE!

nope, we're not the only one's!!! Good to hear your extra parts found a new home to go to! Lot of the leftovers from mine wound up in San Antonio, guy there was restoring one and was really glad to get the stuff!!

I am just glad it went to someone that really wanted the parts and will use them.
Since my car has been re framed and is not all Original I don't need to have original
stuff on it. So I can't see spending the money to re store all the original stuff, but God bless those that want too. I would rather buy up dated after market parts to go back in my car, and have the best stuff or re build it the way it should have been built in the first place. Or atleast my idea of the way I think it should have been built, If you know what I mean. Kurt

I tried to do my part by saving you from hauling that Cleveland all the way to Nevada, but nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

It was good Karma that the Kid got the motor and c4 he needed . Nice to see someone who needed it got it.

I Hear ya Don; It worked out good anyway.
I am gonna have the other guy send some photo's of his wagon he's working on.
The roof is off of it right now but you can still see how sharp it is.
