But I would still prefer the mom and pop yards from back home, where I can get a whole interior for like a hundred bucks.


Ya IL has its up and downs. I know I'm orig from Chicago


Digital dash parts ?? Good luck NEVER had a Digital cluster car come my way in 15 years of doing this !!

West coast is where the deals are at for these cars !! When I was going to school in SF bay area, I scored like 2 sets of recaro seats for $100 !!! One seat had pwr driver !! TONS of KITT PMD seats, TONS of nice dash pads @ pick n pulls for $20 each

It was a DREAM of nice rare parts back in those days !!! lol


Lots of people LOVE talking trash about California but it does have its positives lol

I have only found 1 digital dash car in a yard to date. Still kick myself for not pulling it but I didnt have time. Found a nice dash pad the same day too.
