Went to the Rancho yard today, I dont know if anyone is looking for anything, but I did see 3 complete TPI setups, one SD and the other 2 MAF. All parts and bolts were intact, even the air intake ducting. Also saw a relative nice set of PMD seats out of an 84ish Berlinetta. Looked really good, could just use a good machine wash and they would be ready to go. Also a very well taken care of 91 Camaro Z28. Interior was gray, car was untouched with the exception of the pass seat being gone. All seats, carpet, dash components, drivetrain, and body was still there and was premier for getting good parts.... Until I saw it. I yanked the hi rise spoiler, the trunk pull down, and the front grill.

I was impressed with the selection this time around. There also was a "premier" side that cost an additional $2 to get in. This side holds newer cars (97 and up I believe). I was told there were 4th gens over there, but time got short, so I didnt get a chance to check it out.

So if you need parts, Id get out and see whats out there before the rest of the unappreciative public ruins that part you have been looking for........

 

oooh la la sounds nice! may have to go out there

 

What do u need at this point?

 

Not really what I need, more of what can I sell. So I can buy stuff that I want!

 

Wish I could get down there to check it out. Maybe next spring.

 

They had a ls1 t-56 firebird at the Richmond pnp

 

i find that hard to believe. hahaha

 

yeah that'd be amazing. i'd pull a shift out there to get that stuff if I saw it.

 

That's real.. part of me believes antoine tho. The premier side of pnp has the stuff we would love to have

 

A white 1999 firebird trans am vin code g for ls1 and t-56 tranny a friend of mine paid 2,000 for it from the person that had pulled it that morning.

 

Damn..

 

If the thread topic here ended with "worse" I would agree with you.

I have been dealing with PNP for years, back when you could decline exchange policies, prices weren't as high, bullshit CA environmental hippie fees weren't automatically added, there used to be dedicated Camaro sections, and their usual revolving door of retarded employess were well, less retarded.

Do NOT confuse the fact that more 4th gen parts are in boneyards now (it was bound to happen), with PNP improving at all.

Please.

 

Haha I feel ya Vin. Now if you get lucky and find an edelbrock intake manifold out there you gotta pay more for it than a standard stock manifold. They have a dedicated (performance intake manifold price). Now if you get lucky and find a edelbrock tpi base..then great price!

I think headers have a different price on them than manifolds also. Actually found a thirdgen with headers out there, thought well maybe i can resell them. but then i would have to pay 80 for the headers...with a pssible resale value of 100-120 wasnt worth it...lame lame lame...but it is nice to see some 4th gen stuff out there, and if I could get a ls1 for a couple hundred bucks it'd be hard to pass up

 

Ur right Vin, but jus as the rest of the world is goin to hell, u gotta find a lil bit of good and run wit it. That's all I'm gettin at

 

I agree with you 100% on that one Cop

 

Can you keep an eye out for a leather steering wheel? pre airbag. Thanks!

 

dang y'all are still looking for a wheel!? And I will keep an eye out for one.

 

Which style Ryan?

 

THREE SPOKE WITH ROUND CENTER, LEATHER WITHOUT AIR BAG!!
THANKS GUYS!!

 

I can't picture it.. the only one that co.es to mind is the firebird wheel.. lemme do some checkin..

 

I saw a leather wrapped wheel the other day in the stockton yard. it was tore up though so I didnt even think about it. I guess you could recover it....I pickd up a 145 cluster.

Post a pic of the wheel you want im sure thier is a picture floating around somewhere

 

How much was cluster? 82-89 or 90-92?

 

82-89. It was supposed to be 45.00 bucks but the guy hooked me up got it for 20 bucks. Time to re sell it and make a few dollars oh yeah!!

 

I have a firebird one that is clean

 

Pretty sure this is the wheel hes talking about. Its only the best looking steering wheel GM put in Camaros

 

I dont like it but yeah that is what I saw, but again it was tore up. But I guess you could restore it.

 

Yes this is the one but it is hard to find one in good cond that dose not cost a fortune!!

 

i hear ya Ryan, I will keep an eye out for one. Are you ok with recovering it if needed?

 

I saw that wheel at stockton pick n pull! if you want to recover it then it'll be fine for you

 

I believe I saw one of these in the Rancho PNP when I was there Monday. It was missing the round center section and the leather wasn't in the best condition. Not sure if your're looking to restore? If not, this one isn't for you. Otherwise, I'll continue to keep an eye out for one as I check out the junk yards.

James

 

well pick n pull was real good to me. Since I am now converting to TPI I got me a nice starting piece



edelbrock base for 40.00 bucks where y'all at make em say uuugghhh!

And I am j/k about switching to TPI. But I like making money a little/lot of cleaning and she is going for sale

 

nana nana

Is this 1997?

 

Well I wanna say the song was released in 1998 not 97 but yeah I went back a few years for that one....you know it made you crack a lil smile man!

 

why cant we find this shat before i put it on my car

 

just bad luck man!

 

I found some Lexan T-Tops yesterday at the yard. $54 was not a steal but I figure I can afford to sit on them for a while. They are LIGHTWEIGHT! Very surprised. Most of the Camaro's here are picked! They had maybe 10 and then another 15 of the 4th gens. Seems everyone destroys all the parts they don't want (just sitting there cracked and broken.... sad.

 

I found a nice t top bag too. 86fireturdta wanted it for his newer trans am so I let him have it

 

GM salvage it's a good place also. 1964 Old Oakland Rd., San Jose, CA 408-432-8498

 

How much you want for it man ill take it dirty i dont care ima polish it anyways

 

sold it already in the classifieds the thread you posted on...sorry.

 

i bet that guy from San diego selling that baseplate and runners is probably down to an offer for 400 or so....I had another baseplate and runners lined up for you but it fell through it was a craigslist deal.

 

Damn im always late on deals haha... Well thanks ill keep looking

 

ill eventually find another one...i honestly forgot all about you needing one...sorry.

 

Its cool man dont worry about it. Check on the runners as well probably you will find some ASMs or accels

 

I have a hi flow base sittin here at the house.. if someone is on craigs selling for 400, ill take 300.

 

it was base and runners for 400. runners were edelbrock.

I sold that baseplate pictured for 275.00 plus shipping. so if you need a few dollars there ya go johnny boy.

Sickrs is a cool guy, maybe he will make you a decent offer on it

 

Ill probably take your base if i don't buy LS1 swap

 

It will be here for a couple more months. I'm gonna start selling stuff around mid Feb... Tax return season but if u want it sooner, jus let me kno

 

bringing this thread back. so since my lil bro dont post on here yet I can share his surpise.
