SHAKER 500 RADIO - 2008
#11
Sad isn't it. I went to a yard looking for a radio for my 2001 Ranger. They had a unit on their greasy electronics shelf virtually exposed to the elements. It was dirty with grit inside. For this they wanted 60 bucks. I put in a bid for a unit on ebay which I won for 10 bucks and another 10 to ship it. It was prestine inside and out. Had the radio been in the same shape the eBay one was, I would have paid the 60 just to have it while I was working on the project. How do those places make any money at those prices for what amounts to neglected crap.

Ahahaha, yeah I wish. I went to 7 junkyards around where I live, all good sized, and found 1 with mustang parts. They didn't have an actual wrecked stang, just a few pieces. And they wanted way too much. 1400 dollars for an 8.8 axle off of a wrecked GT with 3.55s and 68K miles. No thanks. I can get a virtually new one from NTO with 3.73s for 850 bucks. 400 dollars for a scratched up front bumper from a GT with the wrong color paint? Nah. Not much else.

If the Shaker is badly scratched, you have nothing to lose by trying some jewlers rouge on it. That may restore it.
I lost the cap for the accessory outlet and someone on the forum who had installed a billet cover sent me theirs as a freebie. Don't be ashamed to ask around.

product available at your local parts store.
Avoid the rouge, its way too aggressive.
The cap can be sourced at the dealership.
Or can be replaced with a push to start button
for abot $100.
