Went to check out this 95 at the pick n pull in summit today..car has been there for about a week so I didn't expect much but when I walked up to it this is what I found! Not everyday you find a mark viii in the jy with a perfect grille and eyebrow!
I grabbed the grille, eyebrow, pass corner light, pass tail light and trunk lock cover all for just over $60! Man I love pick n pull! While I was finishing up the harvesting, I hear a guy come up and ask my friend who was with me if anything good was left on it..and I peak out from the back of the car to see Paul Van! We shot the sh*t for a while and checked out his 96 LSC in the parking lot before going our ways..just funny that I run into him at a junkyard miles away from where we live..small world.
Got the parts home and cleaned them up nice..
There's still a lot of good stuff left on it..decent headlights, other corner light/tail light I didn't grab and best of all the front air shocks and rear bags which looked to be in real nice shape, they still are holding air and have no signs of dry rot..car had 90k on it...somebody better grab these!
The last time I went to this pick n pull a few months ago I spotted this 96 LSC out of the corner of my eye parked on a side street by brookfield zoo. I remembered roughly where it was so today I kept a lookout for it and sure enough I found it parked in the same exact spot as the last time..so I had to stop and take a few pics. This is the most faded torreader red paint I think I've ever seen..I don't think the original owner knew what wax was. Judging by the paint fade, faded chrome on the grille, lack of rust and perfect chrome 10 spokes I'd say this was a southern car most of its life...but what I don't get is the arrow straight back window seal?? Wtf? What are the odds that I spot a 96 LSC on the way to a junkyard to look for mark viii parts though?? I will deffinetly keep a lookout at all the surrounding junkyards for this car to pop up in sometime in the near future.
