yea i saw that one there, as well as a decent nova, i was surprised when i also saw a couple 4th gens.

i noticed gibbys has gotten a lot more expensive now that they have a different owner, before the guy would jsut give me parts

I used to go there alot when the last owner was around, he'ld always give me a good deal on stuff.
I liked to go and pull all the big valve pontiac heads, but there's rarely anything good anymore. I still go there every once in a while.

im there almost every weekend, seems like i find a couple different thirdgens each time i go.

the other day i found a v6/5 speed car untouched and i wanted to buy some 5 speed swap parts but they were asking 125 for the pedals alone!!
