Having nothing better to do one day, I started searching the net. I purchased one within 20 minutes for $80. The lightbulb in my noggin flashed on, and long story short, within a matter of months, I'd sold 70 of them on this site--yes, I said 70, all purchased over the net (shoot, I had one SHIPPED to me to $30). I picked up my L69 dual snorkel for $30. Hollow 36/solid 24 sways for $50, Conteur seat for $80, overhead console with flashlight for $50. More recently I did a PBR brake upgrade. I found a 9-bolt with a bent axel tube and bought everything from the flanges out for $100. I sold the backing plates and lines for $65. Darn cheap brakes. Again, hit the boneyards. There are thousands of them and in them thousands of thirdgen cars. Try the following links (these are only a few of the ones I used and there are many, many more): Used Auto Parts on Junk Yard Dog ® Auto Part Search - Your One Stop For Automobile Parts Car-Part.com--Used Auto Parts Market LKQ Home Used auto parts - used car parts - auto parts online at UNeedAPart.com
JamesC | Great list of websites. I will be sure to use these in the future.
Also I know we mentioned 1LE parts and I'm not sure if all 1LE's had them or just some but some came with aluminum spares. I haven't found any. | |

Sam, to answer your question about the PN of the Aluminum Hood, its now out of producion SLP had a stash they were selling them for around $3500 in the day and you had to proove you had a firehawk before they would sell it to you. The Part Number was the same for SOME of the Aluminum hoods, mine was at least.

yep what John said above.. on the struts use worn out steel hood struts..
the hoods had the same pt number as a steel one cause they used the same tooling.
now the box had a diff pt number tho!!! thats what Jim Mattison told me anyway.. | |
