Saturdays junk yard score...

On my weekly junk yard trip i snagged a set of FE chrome "Power By Ford" rocker covers for 20 bucks, they're in pretty good condition for having a C7 date code, the car just came in that very morning, they would of never lasted the week, sweet serendipity.

Yea, it's a pick-n-pull, they let you roam the yard, pull your own parts, then go to the front office to haggle over price , it's the only yard with in a 100 mile radius, but for a small town it's pretty decent, he doesn't crush his pre 80's stuff until they're well picked over.

Not worth too much, especially since they're re-popped now with any date code you want.

A primo set would likely net around $50, maybe push $100 if guys got into a bidding battle.

$20 and some elbow grease to clean them up is a great buy.

They typically go for around 60-70 bucks on ebay, the re-pops are 150 bucks, give or take, but the quality leaves a lot to be desired, at least on the re-pops i've seen.
