Another one bites the dust

This is my 88 formula 350 parts car the I paid $275 for and right now this is what it looks like right now, the evening before geting sent to the scap yard. My dad took a 873 BOBCAT to it after we finished striping it of all its good parts.

Here is what all we got:

All of the near mint interior (stevecvash now has the console which was put into the 87 T/A before we sold it to him https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...hreadid=216221 )

A new rear hatch with good aerowing the wing also went with 87 T/A but I still have the hatch

Perfect driverside fender

All good plastic peices for the back

And the greatest of all the 40,000 mile rebuilt L98 350 TPI

Probaly more that I cant think of right now

well here are the pics

I did the same thing with this '86 Trans Am I picked up for $100. The body was rough, but wound up making over $1,200 parting it out.
