As the title states, I'm a proud owner of a 1982 Mercury cat. Save for some rust, she's in pretty fine shape. Except for a broken passenger side tail-light lens. Any ideas where I might score one? I've tried local salvage yards to no avail. Would it be cost-prohibitive on a $400.00 car? Any input would be very welcome!

welcome! sounds like a nice car.
You may want to start a want-ad in our WTB section.
You can also ask for one in the "free with donation" thread at the top of the Off Topic Bullshit section. The only cost would be a 5 dollar donation to the site plus whatever shipping costs, so probably about 20 bucks or less. This would, of course, probably not net a perfect one.

Thank you for the advice! I think I'll try that donation thing. It's not a perfect car anyways. (just my favorite!)Comment

if you can find an '83-'87 in the yard those taillights will bolt up and look better IMHO.1988 MGM GS - Preferred Equipment Package 172A; InstaClear

I have a NOS 79-82 Right side tail light lens only with the attaching tape. Still in the Ford box. Part # D9MY-13450A. PM me if interested. I bought it from Ford for my 82 Merc GM which is stuck in Ca.Last edited by Mainemantom; 02-08-2012, 11:50 PM.

honestly the 79-82 tail lights were ugly. 83 up were so much nicer.
