The Boneyard- - Post pics of the Third Gens you find

I was at the pull your part scrapyard seeing what I could find and I ended up taking some pics of a 92 RS. She was already picked clean from the inside. I thought it would be interesting to post pics of the cars found before they were gone forever so I’ll start.







It is very sad to see but I do find it fascinating at the same time. Feel free to post your findings.

I search for this on YouTube all the time. I'm with you....it's sad, but for whatever reason I am fascinated by them, too

The last one has some pretty nice looking couple of wheels on it. The first pic though, is that fiberglass all over it?

it was a fiberglass hood. Looked like one of the early third gen factory fiberglass hoods

I almost bought the wheels but I left them. I really had no use for them but I hope they didn’t get crushed.

Yep but there were only 3. If there were 4 I might would have bought them just for sake of saving them but I have no use.

My 91 RS parts car is heading for the junkyard this week. The nose and gfx are all good (moldy, but good). I just haven't had the time to get them off. The rollback is coming to get it in a day or two

Re: The Boneyard- - Post pics of the Third Gens you find

Dagwood, I need that chin spoiler! You’re a million miles away and shipping may be unrealistic, but I need it. Is it original GM? Any rips, cracks? What’s your zip? I’ll look into shipping if you’d consider it. Guess I should ask what you’d want for it.

I think the chin spoiler has a 1" crack on the front bottom edge towards the pass side. I don't want to mess with it, and I gave the car to a buddy that has a salvage yard. PM me if you want his phone number.

The car doesn't have a steering column in it so I don't want to screw around trying to get in in my brothers shop to get to the hoist....otherwise I would have had all of the ground effects off it already

Yeah, I believe you mentioned the crack when first posting about the car and that’s why I never asked about it. No worries, thanks anyway.
