dun dun dunnn.. SCORE
Any more items where these came from?? Maybe its my old eyes but the grille looks like a 85/86 in the pic.
maybe more coming.....it is a 85/85 grill i already have a 83 NOS in the box for my car....
If you come across a center armrest lid in tan you dont want I would be very interested for my 83 Heritage.
There is a "wheat" color lid NOS on eBay right now....
Any chance you have a link. Some reason I cant get ebay to show anything past page 1 of the parts listing.
Sorry Dan, i was mistaken....it was a Glove box door NOS in Wheat color.
i hate you so much!
I wish I had the time to go to the pull your own here...every day off I have is spent doing boring ...and I need to find a lid for the center console I have.
david, do you still have the pictures of the bird hood i sent you from the junkyard? i believe the 1 shot showed the color of the interior through the windsheild.. i believe it was 'wheat' colored and know it was fully intact..
there are 2 NOS lids on ebay right now. Pricey, but you can paint/dye the right color......
I have them still Chris, but they dont show the interior at all.....
meh, oh well.. if i have to go there for anything, i will check it out.. i think it was an 87-88 though
Reminds me of the old days coming home from the junkyard! :hick:
prepare to hate more......this is from the last batch i snagged....NOS 83 Grill in box and NOS body moulding set

Where did you find that stuff?
Well, i locate my stuff by scouring ebay and craigslist as many of you do. Very often you can find ad's with typo's and no one else can see them when you type out things correctly. For example, if you searched 1983 Thunderbird, you wont see a search result that is labeled "83-86 Thunderbird". I also have a large network of pals on here and several other car sites from all over the USA. I got the NOS mouldings from a CL ad from Michigan. I called a Torino pal from the same town as the ad, and he ran over same day and paid cash and shipped the stuff right out. Jerry, (DaminC) from here just sent me a new set of TRX tires from a CL auction i found in his hometown. I jumped all over it and got some help. Thats the key, you snooze, you lose.......A little luck goes a long way too. There is NOS stuff being dug out of dealer old stock all the time, it just makes it to the marketplace in drips and drabs. Until someone takes more of an interest in these cars, we all just have to be resourceful and help each other. Its actually easier to locate NOS stuff for a 70 Torino than 83 Bird.......parts for these cars are non-existant. If you mod your car in any way, save what you take off....if not for your future resto, someone else could use that stock radio or front moulding etc..... I found a pair of like new front leather seats for my car because i broadened my search and the seller had them listed for a 86 Bird. I saw the pic, i called to verify that i was bidding on what was shown, and stole them for $75 shipped with seat tracks and motors attached. You know what reupholstering them would have cost? You just have to be patient, the deals are out there....
I just cleaned and detailed the tailights, i think they are nicer than what i have on the car currently. The grill cleaned up nice, it has some fading, but all the tabs are there, and no chips, cracks or breaks. i am putting the NOS grill and this one side by side so you can see how it looks. The grill ornament is chipped slightly on the left side. The emblem and grill are for an 83/84 car. I dont need them so if someone here can use them make me a fair offer and they are yours.

yeah.. i insist you keep the NOS grill in your possession until you come to get the car.. i'd be entirely too tempted to put it on hahahahah
do you still have these??
