Hacknslash, where do you live? I've never seen a town that didn't have a auto salvage lot. Look in the phone book for used auto parts.

You could always borrow the one on your car and pray it doesn't rain My first wiper motor prop was made out of the rear wiper motor...I borrowed from my wife's van. She never missed it I really don't think she ever used it before

I went to my junk yard and they wanted 25 bucks and I had to remove it. I ordered 3 online.

Yeah, online is the way to go. I got the same response as Woody, from the one junkyard located in three counties. $25-$65 in fact. Sheesh, it would be as cheap to get one from a new car dealer.
Anyway, here's another link

You can get them off of eBay but the link provided by Randaz is a good price.

That's what I was told also, but then I asked a really important question. I asked do you have any old and I mean old model wiper motors....late 70s early 80s. I was then told....we have a whole shelve, full of them. My next question was how much are those OUT OF DATE motors, that you can't sell, if I bought 8. His answer was $40 bucks for 8 of them or $8 each.


BTW....7 years later I'm still using those 1970s and 80s wiper motors. One of the motors came off a 1972 LTD...that means it's 34 years old.
