Need parts? Junkyard v8

[Joe Ford]

Not very familiar with the v8s. Although, I have found one in a self serve junkyard. Figured id offer my findings up to the community. If you need any parts, just message me what you need and what you're willing to pay. Ill pull them and ship them to you.

What parts do you have available?

That's a great find. Parts are so difficult to find. Some parts never even made it to an aftermarket replacement option making them unobtainable for a while now.

I didnt dig into the car, what you see in the pics is about all that I seen myself. PM what you need and a fair price and ill go pull the part.

Heard that. I know finding parts for my 2nd gen is harder than ***-wee Herman in a movie theater. & there were even less 3rd gens made. Thats why I figured it was only right to try and get the parts to the community before they crush it.

Cant own a 1st, 2nd or 3rd gen SHO if you arent (or know) a person with a lil fabrication skill and a lot of creativity.

If you can get me the front valve cover gasket to the i can get more made lmk what you want for it

Whats it worth to you? Pulling it should be easy, but its a 40 minute drive for me 1 way. If there is a couple more things you'd like me to get while I'm there it might make it more worth it for the both of us.

I get that, an yea that is a long drive. atm that is all i can think of rn, but if you are not going out anytime soon i can come up with more things i would need. Thank you for the help i fr appreciate it no joke

 

[Joe Ford]

If im driving out there and pulling parts i need $200. Thinking about just buying the whole motor and parting it out.

There are other things that are also hard to come by. Sarc struts that are still good. Even a subframe for a swap into an earlier car. these are things that are very specific, including the engine, that may need some storage space to live while requests come in. Parts are hard to find as are people needing them. Transmission is also a high failure item at this age. Not sure what made this thing scrapyard vehicle.

 

[Joe Ford]

Well, there was a cane in the trunk. So I'd imagine it was an older persons car. Thats a plus. There was an alarming amount of rust falling from the rear undercarriage. My money says thats why it was in the scrapyard. Suspension looked to be in rough shape.

 

[Joe Ford]

Rear suspension was literally crumbling.

Storage space is not an issue, I have a gutted 15 passenger van dedicated to SHO stuff. Have 1000lbs or more of miscellaneous gen2 stuff + a gen 2 3.0l engine. Plenty of space left to spare too.

Unfortunately, they wont sell a whole car. But i can get the complete engine w accessories for a good price.

That green painted trunk insert between the back-up lights cost a small fortune when last I checked.

Car was probably a camfailure.

Front and rear bumper covers are unique to the V8 SHO product line.
Rocker panel covers are SHO only.
Exhaust Tips are pure unobtainium.
Football is for 96/97 only but still getting hard to come by.
Drivers' side wiper arm for windshield.
Power antenna.
CD Changer in the trunk.
Dash cluster with 150 mph speedo.
ABS Pump.
SAI Pump and especially that damn relay !
Computer in Firewall. Probably AWL1 or AWL2. Kinda like Type 'O' Blood. Runs ok on anything.

 

[Joe Ford]

Are these items that you would like me to go get for you? Or are these suggestions as to what I should grab to throw into the stockpile?

 

[Joe Ford]

Either way, thank you.
