That's pretty funny considering the experience I had at the local Pic'N'Pull yesterday. I was wandering down the G.M. aisle in search of a "Caddy hat" for a fuel injection conversion project when I stumbled on a row (8-10) of Citations. With the exception of some minor trim pieces they were complete! Every other car in the lot had been cannibalized to the point you had to do some serious looking just to be sure what year/model it was but it looked as though people had been ADDING parts to the Citations!
Oh yeah, the old Falcon Sprints. My first car was a '63 Sprint convertible with the 260. What a fun car. Too bad I got it from my father who worked for the IH foundry and all the paint and external metal work was shot due to the smelter's smoke. Shucks, who says we need the EPA?
