Any of you Tiger owners need 260 parts?

Most of the cars are probably too far gone to restore. Storing a car outside in norhtern climates for 30+ years tends to make them rot.

Agreed. But 260 engine parts are getting thin on the ground (sorry... bad pun) and they should be easily salvageable from some of these hulks.

It's enough to make a grown man cry . What a shame it wasn't found before the rust set in. I can only imagine what the Mustang fans are thinking. Even a lonely MGB got in there.

from what I swa I wouldn't expect to find much of anything in the way of specific 260 parts. Looks like probably 6 bolt 289 and early 302 would be more likely.

Robin, you underestimate our climate. Rust had probably "set in" on 90% of the cars before they went to this boneyard. It happens all the time, a car gets a little tired but is too rusty to justify the expense of bringing it back, so it gets parked.

You have to remember that the 260 was only run in the Mustang from it's introduction in April '64 to about August '64. After that it was the 289.
