Re: junk yard scores!

Today I paid $32 for a overehead console with the flashlight and a aftermarket t-top headliner for a camaro .

in the last 3 months I have got.

4 a/c delete heater boxes.
2 sets of iroc hood louvers.
1 set of iroc fog light.
1 set of 91-92 firebird fog lights.
1 set of 85-90 trans am fog lights.
1 wonder bar.
3 hatch pulldown assemblies.
2 CAMARO grilles.
3 pullout rear cargo covers.
a pair of chrome edelbrock valve covers.
a mint condition t-top bag.
2 camaro 5-speed shift plates in great shape.
1 trans am 5 speed shift plate.
a dual snorkel air cleaner, NO inlet hoses, I was bummed.
a A/C delete pulley..
and alot of other small stuff.
It pays to get to the yards when they just put the cars out.

Yes I can sell some, I will get some pics for you and find a box to ship them in.

I would take $75.00 for the heater box and $60.00 for the hatch pulldown plus $20.00 for shipping for a total of $155.00.
Let me know if that works for you..
Thanks

Re: junk yard scores!

Today I picked up a complete set of front and rear ebony cloth power seats out of a 4th gen Firebird. They're perfect. No rips, tears, wear marks, dirt, or smell. The windows were up and the interior smelled like a new car. Everything in the car was meticulously clean. The whole set was $50!

Then I scored a perfect driver side fender from a 90 IROC for $30 to replace this crappy aftermarket one that I have on my car.

Re: junk yard scores!

Traded for a brand new forged 408 stroker crank and forged I-beam rods with ARP bolts in them.. my trade value was $350, and his parts were still brand new from probe totalling $1,300. Funny thing is he knew what he was getting, AND he was the one to throw me an offer. Needless to say, I was skeptical until I saw all of it in person. This happened this past weekend, actually.

Re: junk yard scores!

the best deal I got out of a junkyard was a 100% mint dash pad for 15 bucks the odd thing is the rest of the car was in terrible shape I have no idea how the dash pad stayed in such nice shape.

Re: junk yard scores!

My best score so far is the goodmark steel cowl induction hood that's on my 83 Z28. I've also bought a pair of doors, a pair of front fenders, rear hatch with the defrost, 2 ac delete heater boxes, 145 mph speedo, heater core that looked new, and a few other things I can't remember. The yard I go to hands out a punch card and after ten punches you get free admission and 5% off the next purchase. They told me I am the first person to get the free admission and discount....got that earlier this week. I've also scored a few cool parts for my 4x4, and other projects too.
