For that matter most any of the performance cars of the Shelby Dodge era. The older is is the worse it gets. The "newest" L body is now 17 years old. Some of the earliest are over 20 years old and even the most carefully protected, garage kept, one owner cars are starting to show age and wear out certain parts. > I'm currently restoring GLHS #087. and its been a bugger getting the > simplest parts. like door window wiper seals, hell, any seals for that > matter. trim, body pieces, moldings, etc. Being that pieces like this don't effect mechanical operation of a vehicle there are only a limited amount of extra pieces produced. I've been trying to explain for a long time to stock up on "consumable" parts that could be damaged from an accident (airdams, noses, rust free fenders & hoods, etc) plus vehicle specific items that wear out from repeated use or age (rubber seals, weatherstripping & plastic moulding pieces). Every passing year there are fewer cars from our era available in salvage yards. > I ordered the last few parts in the COUNTRY a few weeks ago and it took my > local guy a week to track them down. one came from a dealer in alabama, one > in colorado. etc. I've ordered the last available one of numerous Shelby parts in the past and even at dealer price they can still be less expensive that a re-sellers price due to rarity. > PLEASE folks.

Same goes for what you see at a local salvage yard (even if you can't personally use it) if it's a clean, hard to find part either grab it up before it gets crushed or at least quickly pass it on to someone else who needs it. You may be able to use it for trading. > I still can't find an airdam in good condition. I can relate, I'm still looking for an 87-88 CSX grille in decent shape or at least one that only has damage to the driver side headlite area (so I can combine my old one with it).
