Junk Yard Find: New Vert Top in PA

Hey All,

I was going through a local junyard looking for some misc parts, when i came across a 90's thirdgen Vert. I know how hard it is to come by parts, so i thought i would let yall know it's there.

If you google Nottingham Rd, in Nottingham PA, it should bring you to the right spot.

- Looks like the top is in almost new condition, although i'm confused because the seatbelts are on the pillars instead of attached to the tannue. (Front desk said 200.00, but i'm sure that negotiable)

- I took the seatbelt covers, they are not in perfect condition, but not horrible. I figure if your missing 'em it's better then nothing.

- Most of the interior is crap, although the sail panels are fine.

- Tannue release mechanism looks good.

- Rims are M.I.A, and front end looks pretty damaged

Not sure if there is anything else converitble specific i can mention. But, I should be back there this weekend so if you want me to pull something or see if it's even there just PM me.

Good Hunting

Re: Junk Yard Find: New Vert Top in PA

price/condition of the two rear fender spoilers.... maybe the deck one too. They have 2-3 screws, and are held down with double side sticky tape.

Id be using them to attempt to make a 5" spoiler

Not bad for a junkyard find. I would probably pick up the convert. top, because you probably wont find one like that lying around in some junkyard again

Bud if you go back there I could use the block off plate on the right side of the dash bezel where the defrost switch would be. If you could pull it and mail it to me I will pay you for your time.

EDIT: I know I just signed up here but you can check my ebay feedback. The name is "mrsupersport" Thanks; Scott.

Good Job Guys!!!!

I stopped back through to grab some wiper nozzles... this convertible was stripped clean!!! lmao

Missing the top now, sail panels, door electronics, tannue lid, trunk lid, and more... lol...

Reminds me of that time-laps in that 'Lord of War' movie.

If one of you guys are close could you get me the block off plate where the defrost switch would go on the dash bezel? I would be forever indebted to you. Thanks, Scott.
