Yesterday Jake and David took the donor car to the scrap yard to be crushed. Along with the carcass of the car, the box of wires was also recycled. Here is an accounting of our 1997 Lincoln Mark VIII donor car.
Purchased 2/21/2016 for $1600
We kept the engine, transmission, fuel pump and the rest we tried to part out to recover our costs
| date | part | sales price | |
| 3/12/2016 | back brake light | 50 | |
| 3/13/2016 | IRS rear end | 250 | |
| 3/19/2016 | front grill, fender bumper | 240 | |
| 5/22/2016 | various switches amplifier | 110 | |
| 12/19/2016 | master cylinder | 25 | |
| 1/3/2017 | vlcm | 50 | |
| 2/9/2017 | right drivers headlight lense | 50 | |
| 9/12/2017 | scrap yard | 250 | |
| 1025 | |||
so we essentially got an engine and transmission for $575 vs somewhere between $5,000 and $10,000 if we had to purchase new ones.
