Hey all. Here's my pics. from today's Englishtown swap meet. If you wanna see Saturday's cars,see 87ElCamino's Photo Album (http://www.elcaminocentral.com/modules.php?set_albumName=album158&op=modload&name=Gallery&file=index&include=view_album.php)

Here's the SS. It had these really trick side pipes that I got a close up of(are these Choo Choo units?) and also I got a close up of the lower side molding. It's an engine turned looking piece that the photo just doesn't give justice too.

Wow! I'm very impressed. That dash looks very restorable. I couldn't see any cracks.

Nice find.

Nice pics!

Those are the Choo Choo Customs optional, non-functional, side exhausts. The side trim pics lead me to believe this is an '83 or '84.

Thanks. Yeah this guy had 2 of them. This one and one that had the top right corner cracked off. It just has scratches and that aftermarket radio in it. Last year the best I could find on these was $150 used in the same condition. I guess the new ones that came out made the used ones drop way down in price. I guess also it was getting late and you can score some good deals cause guys don't want to lug stuff home. Sometimes people just leave the stuff laying in the parking lot. As a quick example,I saw an 87-92 Mustang bumper,slicks with wheels(they were old and cracked though),an old 1950's bike,and a set of old Ford rims just left behind by people on my way out. I've heard people have been know to leave whole cars.

Wouldn't it say Choo Choo on it somewhere's? I didn't see any decals or emblems. Could people buy that stuff right from them? I'm still learning about 5th gens.

Yes, Choo Choo makes and sells the body pieces, but not the exhaust system...that would have to be custom bent. However I do believe they do carry the metal piece that fits the opening.
