Hello All,
I just spent the day at Raceway Park here in Englishtown NJ. It is swap meet weekend. My CS was originally equiped with A/C but now has no parts left (except what's left in-dash). So, I found a compressor and the mounting brackets and some busted up hoses and such. The guy wanted $150. It was about half complete. It was from a parts car and he didn't know if it worked. Did I miss a deal? He wouldn't budge b/c he said they are getting too rare. Is this true? Can I go to a junk yard and get a similar complete system from another FORD V-8? Should I go new for the $1K+?
Anyway, got lots of small dash parts, interior parts, exterior molding, emblems, great shape door w/glass and a box of misc parts for about $30.
Any words of wisdom are helpful.
