1995 ATX 82K SHO parts - Pick-n-Pull Oakland

[NoSlo]

Front end collision. I just visited this untouched car and got what I needed after giving it 1/2 a front 60k, now some low mile parts are just laying there for you to save:

Crank position sensor: Bring a JIS #2 screwdriver & impact, or drop subframe and drill the damn screws out...
ATX timing belt pulleys (also discontinued), ATX harmonic balancer,
Accessory belt tensioner & its good idler (reuse your bolt),
J CCRM, DPFE, IAC, D4U1 ECU, AC compressor & R134 dryer, alternator, starter, 3.2 intake cams, hard-button EATC, etc.
Sunroof headliner, mystery black front struts (with female hex head on top)


Sorry, I got leather interior and steering wheel (only rear back and ok condition drivers seat back remains), and they take the wheels off before putting cars out (pics from its wrecker auction):



Sad, I'm sure insurance screwed him out of the $8000 dropping a detailed car this condition/mileage on bring-a-trailer would get.

A comparable: Silver stock 1993 ATX 70k miles, $6600 no reserve, three years ago https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1993-ford-taurus-sho/

up to $12.6k for 12.6k & MTX sold last month https://rmsothebys.com/en/auctions/af20/auburn-fall/lots/r0278-1995-ford-taurus-sho/941729

Low miles and sold by a collectible auction house is the magic formula.

I am almost certain this is the same '95 that was up for bid on Copart two weeks ago. It was in California with 80 some thousand miles, silver automatic. It was the only gen 1/2 SHO I had seen on there in quite some time.

Unfortunately, its at the Oakland Pick-n-Pull. The WORST P-n-P yard I've visited. I went there a couple years ago for some 1970 Chrysler parts and it looked like they allow the local gangs to jump the fence and smash windshields and whatever else they want to beat on... The car I went to pick off of had this treatment, just three days after the (intact car) listing appeared...

The place has brick prison walls topped with barbed wire, and a security guard with a gun at the exit. Don't let you take wheelbarrow to parking lot. Otherwise normal pick-n-pull - every back seat including the SHO messed up from tweakers looking for spare change. I just skinned the seat and hog-ringed it onto my old cushion.

Interior project looking good, just got done with sewing real leather panel into the drivers seat bottom (1995 had fabric on console side of leather seats instead of vinyl, making passenger->driver swap obvious..)

The worst is in Richmond CA, you have to walk over 1/4 a mile from the entrance, over an overpass, to where the Fords are.
