Desired parts from a 79 242gt?
May 07, 2008 03:43PM
I have access to a recently totaled 79 2424GT. It is being stripped before heading to the big parking lot in the sky.

Is there anything on this car that should be pulled for my build or others? Aren't the a-arms different on the GTs than the standard equipped. Any others?

If the price is good and it was not destroyed in the accident I would like the steering rack.

Oh and maybe the trunk trim.

That one has the PS pump mount with no AC. Good to have, grab it. And those strut tower to firewall brace tubes, while you are at it. You might get $ for the flat hood too...

All the "GT" look bits are worth $$$. Grille, interior blah blah. Definitely save the trunk and hood if they aren't mangled.

The doors on 140s and 240s generally don't seem to rust at all ever. But can't hurt to store them for yourself.. they're probably worth $400 in scrap now anyways tongue sticking out smiley (I don't know if you've ever lifted one of them)

I need the hood and hinges! (If the hood is still good, of course).
Front strut tubes for cores
bellhousing if it's a manual gearbox
