Went there this morning looking for some odds and ends, and there's a '91 Firebird with a TPI engine. Eighth digit of the VIN is an 8 ... an L98, right? Actually I think it's a GTA as there's goo on the fenders where the GTA emblem would be. Dark green exterior, tan leather interior. Somebody had taken off the intake runners and fuel rail, but they were still with the car. No injectors, and the fuel rail looks like it has been hacked so maybe they were just looking for the injectors? But I think the injectors are all that's missing of critical stuff. Still has the upper plenum and throttle body. It's up on tires like somebody was going to pull the engine and/or trans. Didn't check to see if the transmission was still in the car. It has the gold 16" cross-laced wheels on the back, no wheels on the front; main dash with the gauges are still there.

There is also an earlier 2.8L Camaro that had a pretty decent interior. The top of the dash is in excellent shape -- no cracks. I took various torx screws since I'm missing a few.

There's an LT1 Firebird in the far left corner. All the accessories are off the front of the engine, but it looks like all the other stuff is there.

What year is that earlier 2.8 Camaro?

 

I don't know. The dash and center console looked almost exactly like my '82 other than the speedo and tach. Still had the "ERS" (Extended Range Sound) badge on the dash. Which is why I was guessing that it's earlier in the thirdgen years.

I should start bringing a camera whenever I go.

I saw that gta in february when I did my crazy rays run.That 4th gen formula LT1 car was also there.I usually have the best luck at jessup and hawkins point crazy rays

 

Went to Crazy Ray's this morning, and there's an LT1 Trans Am ('93-'95 I think) just as you get inside with aftermarket (guessing Spohn) rear lower control arms and unadjustable panhard bar. Look to be in good condition with zerk fittings. I should have snagged them seeing how much they are new. The back end is already up on the Crazy Ray's jackstands (tires ) so it's easy access. The car is red next to a green V6 4th gen Firebird. The engine is unmolested, too.

Rays is an okay junk yard, but i went to Elwoods in Hagerstown to find a front end part. I was suprised to find THREE (3) rows of third gens. i plan on making another trip once i build up some more "Camaro Money"

 

do you know the address of the place by chance ? Also is it also only a 1$ to get in and its a place that you pull your own parts?

 

Sorry, I dont Know the address, I just know it as Elwoods. They are a pull you own parts, but they will help and thay didnt charge me anything to enter the yard. I went on a sat. in Nov. there wasnt 10 people in the yard including the guys that work there.

 

i would be willing to check that place out

 

Is this it?

Did elwoods have any firebirds?

 

I went to jessup today. bout a half dozen thirdgens...nothing really good though...nothing to make me stop and want to post here about. nearly all were ttop cars though...with some decent ttops.

also went to hawkins point off 695. saw a real nice 91-92 t5 rs car. interior in great shape..i grabbed some pieces. i left the 3 keys in the hatch lock. the c&c ttops are gone...someone who wants this nice interior grab it before it rains! that steering wheels was just about perfect.

there was a silver formula firebird..had the back end jacked up way in the air destroying what looked like a decent front bumper cover.

 

Damn I was there yesterday and didnt see that.Must have put it out after I left.I remember that 4th gen camaro next to that old bonneville convertible.I believe there was a 1986 white z28 305 tpi car sitting where that rs is when I was there.

 

dang you came all the way from philly to hit our yards?!

 

Yep Ive been goin there for a few years now.I hit all 5 locations.The prices at Crazy rays are fairly high compared to the yards around here but the cars arent nearly as picked over as they are at my local yards.I always find good stuff at crazy`s that wouldnt last a day around here.For example the other day when I was there I came home with 3 pairs of camaro fog lights,a set of 91-92 hood blisters,90-92 145 mph gauge cluster and a ton of other good parts

 

Ill bet you didnt see this in jessup.It was in that teal 91 RS camaro right up front as soon as you walk in.I stashed it last week when I was there and went back for it today.They also had a new 86 z28 tpi car added to the yard

 

i saw that car...wanted to get the ttop bar but i didn't feel it was right to destroy the lock on a ttop that was locked on there

 

I went to hawkins point rd that same day.That t-5 car was torn apart.I also stopped at a renagade yard I know in MD off of rt 40 and they had an 87 GTA digital dash car(gone of course) but it still had all 4 Black crosslace rims

 

Holy crap folks got there fast. My friend went a couple days later also and said it was picked over.
