Re: [ASC McLaren ] Re: Need a parts car Capri

Regarding somewhere in Albany...
 
Hi, I had a guy from my insurance company's recommendation who appraised my '87 McLaren, who is from the Albany area, and as it turned out he had 2 McLarens, he might know someone in the Albany area, I will try and track him down, this was 4 years ago when I bought my '87 from my Dad.  I will let you know within a day or two.

So I call my father this evening and asked him if he located a Capri
donor car.  He said he came up short.  He called around the Albany,
NY area and the closest place he got had one but it was a
convertible instead of a hatchback.

So I scolded him for not paying more attention to my ramblings on
ascMcLarens and then asked where it was.  He said he couldn't
remember.  He could give me the list of places and I could call them
all back.

So somewhere around the Albany, NY area there is possibly an asc
vert in a junk yard.

Anybody want the list of yards?

I got a line on a couple of Capris in VA but I'm thinking to cut my
losses and buy that coupe in Florida.  By the time I pay for the
body work, the donor car and my dad's gas down to VA and back its
probably gonna be a wash.

Oh, well I gotta sleep on this.

Any good parts car locating services?  I tried www.junk-yard-
hotline.com and it worked before.  I hope it'll work again.

-Mike
