Parts source in S. WI, N. IL - Third Generation F-Body Message Boards

Just want to put in a good word for a salvage yard in southern Wis. I recently needed a tranny for my Firebird. Of course things like that don't break when you have a lot of time so I was in a hurry to find a replacement. The Iola swap meet was a couple of days away so I made plans to search the grounds for what I needed. That day and a tank of gas were wasted. Next was E-Bay. My search came up with a half dozen leads with the closest one being in Delavan, Wis. When I responden to the E-Bay posting with a question I got an e-mail response within 24 hours. Martin Brunner at Firebird City replied that he had a few to chose from and listed a phone # to contact him directly. Within the hour I was on my way down to Delavan (just north of the IL border off of I43).I forgot to mention, this was a saturday afternoon! The yard at Firebird City was full of 3rd gen cars and parts. I was shown all of the trannys he had and we made a deal. Within a week the tranny was installed and working fine. If you need some parts for 2nd, 3rd or 4th gen F-bodys give Martin a chance. Contact them via e-mail at bird city@ticon.net.
