Default What parts do you hate to see at the swap meet?

I do not know if I had unlimited funds, if I would buy all this stuff, just so I would never see it again, or what. I am always looking for parts, trying to spot the Ford Mustang (or crossover parts) hiding at the swap meets, so I "jump" whenever I see Mustang at a space, especially when it is surrounded by Chevy or whatever, parts.

Rusted, cracked, 65 - 68 tail light lenses and bodies
Pitted, corroded, interior door and window cranks
rusted, dented, bumperettes.
Bent, corroded rocker panel moldings
Rusted, corroded Parking or back up lights.
rusted, dented, speaker holed, doors, so bad that baseballs would fall out the bottom holes.

What are the things that you see, that probably will never sell, that people drag out to the swap meets, for Mustangs?

I love finding the always desirable skinny 5/8" stock front sway bars.

Old, original wheelcovers not worthy of installing on a trailer, much less a Mustang. Also, original gas caps in crappy condition & not worth 25 cents. Dean

Lol, I have taken all that so called junk and sold it at swap meets! Some people don't even have the parts or the funds for new ones, some use them to decorate their garage. I sold some potted fender emblems at the mustang grand national this year, 2 for $5. Sold my old used and scratched dash parts for $10, and even an old extra horn ring I had for $5. You never know what will happen. I find it harder to sell the nice stuff sometimes.

I hate seeing Chevy garbage and street rod parts. I grew up on street rods and find them to be boring as can be now. Too cramped and most all look the same. Oh and torque thrust 2's.
