Incredible Junkyard Deal!!!!

Yo guys,
Me and my friend wanted to go to a junkyard yesterday to get parts for my camaro and his bronco and we decided to take a ride down to philly's passyunk ave., a huge street filled with junkards as far as the eye can see. We went down to one junkyard and they had a wrecked 91 RS w/ tranny & engine pulled, and I found a dashpad in it. It was 25 bux! MINT CONDITION! Those things go for 100 at least in this kind of condition on ebay. I also snagged two shifter plate bolts off it because I lost the screw that goes behind the kneepad and screws into the a/c trim plate. now my car is going to look better wahooo!

Yeah it was a good deal, theres tons of junkyards in the philly area, they are all just in secluded spots where nobody would think of them.
