Well, last Friday I ventured out through axle breaking country side to 
visit Two Brothers  Junk yard.  It is a small, but moire importantly, 
the only junk yard in Pahrump.  Iwent to just look around for a cruise 
control servo of a particular pant number and I was pointed to different 
areas of the yard where such might be found.  So, off I wandered. Could 
not find what I wanted although some came close. Then I spotted some 
rarities.  There were 2, yes two, AMC Pacers sitting there, just behind 
a Nash Rambler.  And there was one of the MG Midgets, with the big fat 
American bumpers (must be a late 60s early 70s?). And 3 jag sedans, a 
BMW of the same vintage of the jags, ca 1988,  and 3 Mercedes which I 
didn't look at.  Then Sergio, one of the brothers, showed me a front 
clip of a late 90's Ford truck and there was my servo, lol.  With the 
connector.  I have been looking in my catalog, ebay, and had seen prices 
for just the servo coming in around 100 bucks and another possible 50 
bucks for the connector. I got it all for 20 bucks and I did not even 
have to get my tools out, lol...

Anyway, the point is that if any of you think you might be interested in 
the odd ball cars, I can send you the phone number. Be prepared to use 
pigeon English though as their English is not necessarily really good. 
No, I diodn't ake photos as I wasn't out ther eto hunt cars. I can go 
and take a couple if someone is really really interested because that 
sucker is a hard to get to place.
