junkyardjeff Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 I grabbed the dash cluster and pad from a 65 Mercury so after I got it out walked around it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketraider Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Neat place! Looks like your Mercury donor is a factory A/C car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkyardjeff Posted December 10, 2022 Author Share Posted December 10, 2022 Yes it is and so is mine,I had to grab those parts before they deteriorated any more. I hope I do not have to take mine apart as it was a pain to get the dash apart. The gauges are still in very good shape and I have them in case they go bad in mine.

Joe Cocuzza Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 This is the kind of junkyard I used to frequent back in the 80's-90's Great just looking around and wondering about each car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zepher Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 Junk yards like that don't exist in most of Calif any longer. Too many environmental regulations in the state for anything like this to exist. I would love to wander through and just look at the cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same thing for my area in MD, only it was the high price of scrap metal a few years ago. Most of the yards around me have an 'old car' cut off date of about 1990. Everything else goes to the crusher. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a 26-27 engine, with the stronger crankshaft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
