There are about 3 U Pull it yards I know of in PA. When I went there earlier this year they had a few Camaros and Firebirds. If you are bringing kids make sure there 16 and up with ID. Or if they are younger make them a fake ID.

Heres their ad. I couldnt get the Image straighter than that.

Harrys is great if you need a window crank for a Dodge van, but dont count on what we always look for. There are illegal aliens who wait for the good cars, and they rip it apart in hours, I've seen them do it, BELIEVE ME! I live nearby, (25 miles), and I never go there anymore.

Honestly size has nothing to do with it. I have better luck in a small town junkyard. Harrys is huge, so huge, that you walk around all day, to find nothing.

unfortunately, the smaller yards in the City and Long Island (New York) charge so much that sometimes, for certain (non-drive train) parts, it's not much more money to buy new or aftermarket.

its the same here in CT. the price that they want for a used part most of the time costs more than aftermarket parts

Yea, not to get off topic, but along time ago, I went to a local junkyard, for a grill. The guy actually wanted $25.00 for the grill, and $5.00 for the "hardware". He wanted $5.00 for the freakin screws that held it on! I tossed it and told him to shove his "hardware".

Aint that the truth. I have been to harry's in hazelton a couple times. Standing in the line to get i must have heard 5 different languages other than english. Harry's is great for your dodge minivan but there is only a few if any thirdgens. In fact there was a corvette there the last time, but it was scorched so bad it was useless. For third gen stuff i use harry's in pennsburg, because i live 15 mins away and they have a great selection. One time they had 11 thirdgens there. I usually go for interior parts but they do have other drivetrain/body parts. They also usually carry 6 cyl. cars or older 82-84 berlis or z28s. Unfortunately i havent seen a tpi car there. Harry's def has an awesome selection for a good price.

Thats funny. One time they just brought in a red 4th gen Z-28. The car was hit pretty bad from the rear, and side. As they were pulling it in, there were a flock of sombreros around it. By the time I went through the yard, (approx 2 hrs), the car was COMPLETLY stripped by the time I was leaving. I personally witnessed an immigrant ruining stuff to get what he wanted.
