Recently walked through Camaro Heaven in Tilton, NH. Lots of third gen Camaros, 3 convertibles in various states of being picked apart....sad site.

Would recommend checking the place out if you are in the area.

 

I remember when I first bought my 87 Formula, I was in Anderson, IN, and there was this junkyard, and a sister yard in Spiceland, IN. I cannot remember the name of them, but both of them had at least 40 3rd gens in various levels of pieces. Virtually Any part you ever wanted. When I got my car it was pretty rough (paid $1100) and I was able to get like new tail lights, like new dash pads ($30) overhead consoles, center console arm rests, door panels, everything and things were really reasonable. Now walking through a junkyard if I spot a half dozen it was an amazing day, and that would be after visiting 6 yards.

 

Down here where I live in MS ive not seen a 3rd gen in a junkyard with any real nice parts such as consoles, t-tops, interior or usable drivetrain in years.

 

Yeah the yards here in Phoenix I frequent rarely have third gens. Some guy on here posted about a yard that had a lot of them so I went there this past week and counted 5, one of which was a decent berlinetta which I never see.

 

I cant't find anything like that in the DFW area

 

i should rescue that red trans am....sad sight indeed

 

it is hard to find any third gen in a wrecking yard in DFW

 

Last time I was up at Camaro Heaven was around 1999 getting parts for my buddies car. They didn't allow you to walk around the cars they were taking apart.

But looking at google maps they have moved since then. Last time I was there they were in a old mill type building near a river I believe.

Looking at the new yard looks like it might be a intersting trip.

Are you allowed to pull parts off the cars or do they do it?

 

In the past 6 months, at all of the pick a parts across southern California, I have seen an 89 firebird convertible, a 90 iroc conv, an 89 iroc conv and a 91 rs conv. They were extremely picked apart however and none of them had been in the yard for more than 2 weeks before I saw them...third gens in general are a dying breed at the junkyards nowadays...

 

If you run across any 87-89 Firebird verts, I am taking VIN numbers... Write them down for me... Thanks.

Absolutely!

 

If you can, I simply want the VIN, the model, GTA, Trans Am, Formula, Firebird, and the colors of the interior and exterior, maybe top color if it is there.

Thanks
