Looking for a certain car.

Needle in a haystack but I'll give it chance. Looking for a 1991-1994 Plymouth Sundance or Dodge Shadow for a parts donor or if it is clean enough I would consider buying it for a driver and not sending it to the recycler. Really anything 87-94 I would consider. Parts wise it needs to be 91 or newer for bolt on compatibility.

Between craigslist and marketplace there is some stuff out there but before I drive way out there to get something I would like to exhaust a local search. That odd car that's been sitting in the driveway or off to the side for years and someone has yet to call a junkyard ? That is the type of scenario I am looking for.

Called around to all the yards in St Marys, understandably it has been years since one of these models came in.

Thanks.

I have to ask, why that car? Doesn’t seem like something people keep going or restore

Probably lookikg for compatible parts for the Shelby turbo version, which people do keep going and restore.

Yes and no.

I do have an 87 CSX under the knife but this is not for that.

I also have a 94 4dr Shadow that needs a little love after an ***hole did a U-turn in front of me a couple weeks ago. Damage wise it is bolt on parts and a new windshield (my hand was propelled into the glass via the airbag). Value wise there is absolutely nothing of value for the car (it has 401,000 miles on it) but it is also 99% rust free, factory 5 speed and has been with us since new which this month makes 29 years so there is sentimental value here also.

Did you search car-part.com ? They have access to every junk yard.

Interesting that you have an 87 CSX. I purchased #551 new from Allstar Dodge back in the day. Fun car!

I did a precursory search. For newer or more popular applications it works ok, older obscure stuff like this it is a waste of time IMO as the parts demand market for these cars is gone so inventory does not stay around. I called a local place here in St Marys that showed having a hood, grille and fenders, that car was gone over a year ago..

Nice looking 92 on Fbook in Cecil County

There is a guy in a neighborhood up the road from me that has a couple of them the last time I saw. He collected Neons and Shadows. He used to race cars when I raced. Don't know if he is still there but I will try to swing by there tomorrow and see what he has. PM me if you want.

It sure seems like these days most people with anything to sell post it on Facebook Marketplace. I have found absolutely everything I needed to buy on there in the last year....used to be ebay was the spot, and I still use that too, but Marketplace beats everything these days. Good luck!!!!!
