RE: Totaled Mustangs: Part Out?
Honestly, the money there is not terrible. It's not like I bring home 500 dollars a week, but for the hours I work, I do more than pay my bills and such.
It's just school sucking me dry man. Took out a loan for this year, so I'll have to start paying that back soon, and with student teaching coming up in the fall, that will really cut back on the hours I'll be able to work and make money.
So It's like working a full time job w/o getting paid. In fact, having to pay to work it.
So unless I could come across dirt cheap aftermarket heads, it's used for me.
Someone has to know for sure though whether the threads doubled in 03, or some other time.

Without the head off looking up the bottom, I don't know how you could know w/o having seen another head from an '02.
And where is this Mills Auto Parts you speak of?

i remember from when he was looking for a car i was helping him out by doing some research and i am about 99% positive that i read that they are 8 threads but just to be safe you might just call the dealership and see if they know what year they changed

RE: Totaled Mustangs: Part Out?
Are you looking for certain parts or a "rebuilder car". If you just want a set of heads, most salvage yards will only sell a complete motor and they aren't cheap. You'll surely never find a yard that let's you take off your own parts either, due to liability issues. Most have razor wire, etc like some kind of military compound! Also note that almost everything in the yards and salvage auctions usually have very high miles.
My father has a large salvage yard, and my brother has a very high-end custom bodyshop and lately has done a lot of mustangs. Has some spare parts and totaled cars as well. I'm sure I can find what you're looking for fairly quickly. Another ideas is to try and find someone who buys salvage cars (like we do) and see if they'd buy one for you plus something for their trouble perhaps?
My 02GT just so happens to be a former totaled car we bought and fixed up. Looks like new inside and out now. Save a ton of $$ too. Good luck.

RE: Totaled Mustangs: Part Out?
I asked them for quotes on 2 different occasions and the prices for used parts where very High. I have not bought from them but they seem to think Mustang parts are made out of gold

Does anyone know anything about prestigemustang? Like if the prices are reasonable and if they are a reputable company?
