Sadly the Mid-West and east coast thies cars do rot out much faster... My 88 here in Cali has not one spot of rust.. But I know that the yards back there most liky dont have a third-gen just becouse of the rusting out problem.. But if U have a friend who lives somewhere out of the rust belt thay will have a much better chance to find a third-gen in there Salvage years. Pick and pull here in Redding has about 13 f-body there.. ( which is great in my case becouse My 88 needs a few body parts.. ( And there 3 there that are he same colour as mine..))
