So i went down to pull and pay today because they have listed an '80 Mustang on their website. For starters, it's Russian roulette when you trust their online inventory and make the trip down there. They had a Merkur listed on there for 4 months after it got crushed.
Anyways i get there and find it, and it's pretty rough but has a few things i need for my coupe....then i get a crazy surprise...it has a tan interior with BLACK seat belts, which are semi rare for a 4 eye interior and the plastic parts are superb. So i get to wrenching and a couple bolts are a bitch to get out so i spend a good 45 minutes pulling all the belts out and a few other things i want.
So i get to the register and the guy rings me up and it's ninety eight F'in dollars and all i got where seat belts and 2 of the short pieces of side molding. So, i figure they wanted 90 bucks or so for seat belts. I don't know if this is a typical price for belts but i found it to be pretty GD ridiculous so i got the molding and i bought just the female ends of the belts since the rest was faded to shit and back anyways.
I also had some headlight bezels...$13 a piece. Manual window cranks, $6 each. Nothing in their inventory is less than $5. The part that makes me SICK is they'll just throw the shit away. Last time i went down to Jack's off Kellogg, he says "man i don't even feel like ringing you up...have a good day". I guess maybe i'm a cheap ass? I'll buy some RIT dye and dye my belts black before i throw down 100 bucks on faded junkyard belts. If someone local had a nice unfaded set then i'd probably pay that but fuck that place. Another thing is almost everything has a core charge...which is just another way of bleeding another $8 out of you for the smallest simplest parts. Last time i was there i wanted to get one of those aluminum remote mount TFI module mounts that came on Tbirds...i think they wanted like $35 for it because they called it an aluminum bracket.
