parting out 97 t-bird

I have a 1997 thunderbird that was handed down to me from my grandma. Unforunately last fall my neighbors' tree that I had asked them to cut for over 3 yrs fell onto it and totaled it! I have finally decided to part whats left out. The car only had 64k on it, never smoked in, and well taken care of. It was a limited edition. E-mail me @ dukeandbud@hotmail.com or post up and let me know what you need. Thanks

I'll send you an email too, but how are the rear LED tail lamps. These are the ones on the trunk, not the spoiler. I'm looking for a good set that doesn't have any cracks from just years of exposure to the elements and that all the LEDs work inside them. If you're parting it out, those would be nice to have.

If you could get them to admit you told them about the tree, their home owners insurance may pay for your car.

Thats wishful thinking. I knew with the first words out of their claims adjuster's mouth that he would incourage them to say they knew nothing about the tree. He told me that even though it was so dead that a family or two of squirrels were living in it that not everyone was trained to know how healthy a tree was. It didnt take him an hour after he left to call and say it was an act of God and they could not and would not help me!!! Thats how dirty Farmers' insurance is!!!! He said that it would be my word against their's and since they paid his salary guess who's word he takes. Lucky for me I had full coverage, but my insurance refused to replace it mainly because they could not find one. So I got the short end of the deal. I absolutley loved this car. It was truly one of a kind with a one year paintjob and as close to new as you would find. Oh well enough venting.

By the way the rear lamps are great. The interior is also in great shape. Other parts are also available but just to do people right, I will take parts off as requested and inspect to verify quality. I have left it setting where it was, well covered with a tarp until now, too disgusted to deal with it.
