Junked FC on side of road in San Fernando Valley
There is a black FC vert on Oso by Plummer(Chatsworth). Some guy stripped it so the city would tow it for free, but there is still some stuff left on the car. I know the 4 pistons up front are still there. I went by tonight and and got a few nuts and bolts I was missing. No motor and most of the interior is missing. I figured I'd let you guys know in case you needed anything small for free.

It was night and I was in a hurry, so I didn't a great look. The electric fan, PS cooler, and all the suspension is there for sure.

It is probably Robert @ rotaryshack that stripped that ride and dumped it there

It was right outside his shop, but from what I heard from the guy that told me about it, it wasn't Robert's.

it was a customers car, he blew up the motor and wanted to replace the motor, instead i talked him out of going through with the job, since it was an automatic, yuk! so instead i bought it for parts and he found a nice 5 speed fc that runs great for less money that a motor rebuild would have cost him.. needless to say i still have a happy customer since i was able to save him $$$


oh and the car should be getting picked up any day by the scrapper, so if you guys want something you better go get it
