There is a junk yard in Ridgefield Park in New Jersey called Apache Junkers or Apache Junk Yard. I haven't been there in a while, but as I remember you could pull stuff yourself. I could get you directions if you want.

Yeah Lakewood is actually in Lindenhurst, on Rte 109. About 1/2 mile east of Southern State Parkway.
From SS east, exit 33 (Rte 109). From SS west, get off at exit 34 (New Highway). Make a left at the light, go over the parkway. Make a left at the light (Rte 109).

Lakewood will be on your right.

Also there are many junk yards in the Lindenhurst village, but I haben't used them so I don't know if you pick yourself.

Yea, the one in Lindenhurst is great. Also, in Deer Park right on Long Island Ave. there are a lot of junk yards. There are about 4 in a row. Sometimes they have some good stuff. I found a center piece from a GTA for only $10. They did have a camaro with t-tops and good gfx for sale...it ran....for only $400. It was a decent car and would be great for parts. Does anybody know where to get a wrap around aero spoiler in NY? I need one from a junkyard. I am looking for one and I may buy the hatch along with it. I am really interested in the '91-'92 style spoilers. O yea, look out for some of the prices around the junk yards. They overcharge on some things on Long Island Ave(it is off of Deer Park Ave.). I was about to buy the gray and black Z28 seats and they said $300...i thought that was a good price until they said that was just for the front seats. They wanted to sell me the set for $500. Also they had a set of mint black seats from an '87 TA. I really wanted them, but I came back a week too late. They were $200 for the set.

Too bad there is one here in Alabama that has a whole bunch of thirdgens, and they let you pull stuff yourself.

Well if you know where Fort Payne is its about 20 miles north of it. Its a place Called Mathis Salvage. It's probably not as big as alot of junkyards but Im guessing there are about 700 cars. I don't really know all what he has but I know he has quite a few third gens. If you wanna call him and ask him about them his name is Skippy and his number is 256-635-6169. Where about in Alabama do you live?

Gee you must be right on the ocean. I don't think you would wanna come all the way up here (35 miles south of Chattanooga), to go to a junkyard. Oh well I guess it was worth a try.
