BV's Junk Yard / Car Lot


Recommended Posts

As I noted, there has been an addition made to our driveway. I've posted about this car in particular a while back, while my friend was trying to sell it. Long story short, he no longer has a place to keep it. We have a big yard with lots of room... What's one more? Thus, it's technically not ours. Since he was unsuccessful in selling it, he sort of wants to fix it up and get it back on the road. It runs about as well as the Cutlass, perhaps a bit better, but isn't in nearly as good of condition. If we can get it to pass inspection (it atleast needs brakes), this might help my situation, effectively giving me another car to drive around in. This is a big "IF", however.

The ever lovely Ford LTD II.

"If this Ford's a rockin', it's probably the rear shocks."

Seriously, though, it's not terrible. Two bumpers, some rust encapsulator, and a paint job and it'll look good as new. Like the Cutlass, it'll need quite a bit of TLC to keep running smoothly, though.

Think of it as a movie car... :) IIRC, there was a TV show years ago with Michael Landon as an angel and a bearded guy and they drove around in a silver '77-79 LTD II 4dr.

Hey, BV, when I took some copper wire to Ace Iron and Metal the price of Scrap Hulks (junk cars) was $235 a ton!

Your rich and you just don't know it yet.

Methinks the scrap yard is your friend for this Fine Feathered Ford...

Your memory serves you well.

The TV show was "Highway To Heaven".

The bearded guy also had a role in "Little House On The Prairie", me thinks. Victor French is that guy's name.
