79 Trailfire
Saw a 79 Trailfire just laying along side the rode about 20 feet from the garbage cans. Do you stop and pick it up knowing that you cant save all of them. Its rough but all there with a motor that turns over. In Scandia Minnesota. Anybody interested???

You know, that doesn't ever happen to me...
I don't ever drive down the road and look over and say,
"Oh look, dear! There's a part machine I need for my 30 year old relics, I'll just take that home."

Re: 79 Trailfire
I always hear about it after it's too late....most times its people saying they saw one at the dump and by the time I find out it's gone.
Anyway...jump on that sled..even if you used 1 small piece it would be cheaper then buying the part.

Chuck, Jess or I will call you today. I think there are a few pieces we can use from it on our latest build.
