Junkyard Vert
Was in New Jersey on monday at a junkyard I go to on a regular basis.I was fairly pleased to find this when I got there.Its a 1988 RS Vert that had most of its vert specific parts intact.That is until I got to it....

Re: Junkyard Vert
I also saw this one about 2 months ago in a different New Jersey Junkyard.Its a 91 Firebird vert that was gutted by the time I found it.This one had very few vert specific parts left on it

Re: Junkyard Vert
Are willing to sell some of that stuff from the black '88? I need the two "J" shaped pieces at the back of the door opening, the back interior panels, & the power seat switch cover. If in reasonable shape and price. pm me reride@live.com

Re: Junkyard Vert
The car was pretty much all there,just missing the motor and front seats.I believe they keep them off to the right hand side in that fenced in area.Seems like every month when I go there he has new third gens in the yard.This is the 3rd third gen vert I have found there.

Re: Junkyard Vert
From the pictures it looks like they weren't wrecked. Too bad someone didn't try to restore them. I always hate seeing them in this condition
Re: Junkyard Vert
I need a rust free trunk lid for a firebird convertible ASC.
The reason the cars are on the side in the junkyard is because they have to wait 30 days until it's put out for parts...legal crap

Re: Junkyard Vert
Dude, what yards are you going to? We went to a few last week and couldnt even find barely any thirdgens! I need some parts for my vert, got anything left? Or are there any parts left in the yards?
Re: Junkyard Vert
my82roc,
I just bought a 91 Z28 vert that is missing a few pieces - do you have or can you get the handle, cable, and latch that release the rear top bow? The assembly that's mounted under the tonneau on the driver side? What about the trunk finish panels - passenger side and rear?

Re: Junkyard Vert
Was at a local yard this morning and they had an 88 camaro sport coupe vert out for parts.Complete car,red with black interior.I grabbed mostly all the vert specific parts
Re: Junkyard Vert
A 1988 IROC Convertible came into the Pick N Pull here in WA. I was blown away as I had seen maybe 5 in person, then to see one at the junk yard. I pulled most of the convertible specific parts off of it that were left and then went back and tried ton buy the whole car out of the yard, but they said they couldn't which made me sad.

Re: Junkyard Vert
This is a 92 Trans Am vert I found in my local yard... I bought a few things and ran out of money. Fairly clean car. They won't sell the car complete either. Had great black rear side panels
Didn't need them, but had to buy them.

Re: Junkyard Vert
Yeah it was pretty straight for being a junkyard car. The interior was fairly clean, and hadn't been overly picked over... yet. I was surprised at the condition when my buddy told me about it. One of my techs actually tried to buy the wheels while the car was complete off Craigslist... Dude wouldn't part with them for $200... Bet he didn't get much more when it got to the yard.

Dumb asses, we are scrapping an s10, wanted 250 for some parts the dude offered 200, and we both were happy after that. beats 200 for the complete truck, and we will still get 150 from the crusher for what is left
