B.I.L. is helping a schoolteacher. Wanna buy some cars? NMSA

She needs her roof fixed.  She has half a dozen cars on her property that have been there for a bit.  Junkyard offered $400 per

Pics to come this weekend 

90-something Lincoln Town Car

84 Dodge Omni

82 Subaru Brat

78 Toyota Corolla

May be others.  Will update this weekend

In reply to Mr_Asa :

Where? I need (?) a Brat. 

In reply to Motojunky :

I'll fight you for it.

This  is the Quickening.

There can be only one.

Potential that B.I.L. might want it.

North Florida. Wakulla County

Apparently it was a northern car though, so manage expectations. 

I could be interested in the town car.  For some crazy reason I've always liked them but never owned one. Could be in for rhe  Brat too,  but sounds like I'm 3rd or 4th in line for that one.  Curious to hear what else she has....pretty random list so far.

Tell me about the 78 Corolla. Title? Rust? Thx

I'm 1,000 miles north. You win. Maybe. 

In reply to Cotton :

Hey, hey! Have seen you post in a while.

In reply to dculberson :

Should have the title.  If I remember the story it was her first car she bought?

Rust is there, but I won't know how bad till I see pics.

I'd be interested in Omni and Corolla pictures. 

I am interested in the town car too.

I would love to see the brat and corolla 

I have no money 💰 or time, but I'd love to see them all.

Interested in what the Corolla looks like.  Got a friend up there dropping his daughter off at school right now too...  hmmm...

I did not express myself fully to my B.I.L. and he did not take pictures of everything.  Thats my bad.  I'll see what I can do later to get more pics.

Lincoln - no real rust, transmission is done though.  No pics.

Corolla - "worse rust than the Brat"

Brat

Omni 

I think $400/per car from the junkyard is pretty generous:) 

Wow. I have not seen a hardtop Brat in a long, long time. 

In reply to taborbraian :

400$ seems to be the price for whole cars. The towing auctions in Atlanta seem to start bidding at 375$

That town car probably has a Ford 8.8 3.27 limited slip rear end with disc brakes.  Just throwing that out there.  Narrowed a few of them to go into TR8s.

In reply to tr8todd :

Is that pretty much a direct swap into a Mustang?  My 85 GT has the stock 7.5 with 2.xx gearing,  so this would for sure be an upgrade if it'll work.

Ouch.  The Brat is probably worth saving if only for parts.   In theory, it could be saved but it would take a seriously dedicated patron with deep pockets or a lot of time and skill.  I'm 1000 miles away and already full-up with lost-cause projects...

WAY to wide. But...

Def. not a bolt in, although with some modifications 

In reply to 03Panther :

Thanks,  that's what I figured,  but a guy can dream right??

In reply to Cotton :

It would be 27 (28?) spline axles, so correct length axles should be cheap. Or a correct whole 'stang 8.8 needing work and swap parts...

I kinda want the Lincoln, but prefer 98 up, and logistics. But still thinking. 
If she can get 400 from the crusher, that's her best bet, from scrap prices I've seen.
