T-Top alert!

Just a heads-up for anyone with their head-out.
Found about 7 cars TODAY with T-Tops at "Greble U-pull it".
This yard is in the Myerstown area of PA, ZIP 17067.

I got a nice set off an 86 camaro, for my 86 camaro.
I also saw another camaro and about 5 firebirds with T-Tops, all in pretty good -unlocked- shape. They get $20 a piece + tax.

Most of the interiors are junk, but i was amazed to find a total of SEVEN 3rd gens with good T-Tops today. Last time i was there i saw zero.

I Looked at ALL of them really good and there really isn't anything else that was nice. Most were either V6 or carb, no TPI.

Re: T-Top alert!

That's quite a find these days.

Not an insane distance from the Carlisle / Harrisburg area, if someone who needs them is heading to Carlisle for the GM Nationals.

Re: T-Top alert!

Every third gen I've ever seen at a yard is a t top, I've never seen a hard top in a yard.
