I'll be the first one to say that I hate to see a good Granada, Monarch or Versailles stripped of the disc brakes and rear axle....but some cars just can't be saved.
I have a couple of parts cars; a '76 Granada 4dr that I bought for $250 from a guy that bought it for the 302 to put in a truck. I bought it because it had the same colour interior as mine and it had the aluminum snowflake rims. My other parts car is a '77 Monarch coupe. I bought it for $100 in 1992 and drove it home. This Monarch has sat in the grass for 15yrs. the bumpers are falling off due to rot. It is stored down on the farm where the wreckingyard is. My uncle asked me if I would sell the front brakes out it because people were asking. I told hime if he could $250 out of them, he could sell them. Sure enough, I got the call last night, He has someone that will buy the spindles and caliper mounts for that price. Good money out of a car that can't be saved.
