Junkyard F-bodies
 

SO this thread is for when one finds an F-body in the junkyard. Pics or a good description is best and of course location. I spend a lot of my time scouring salvage yard inventories around the country but my home base is Central Texas so I will start here hopefully adding to other regions as I find cars.

Hope this helps people find those rare parts. I am not currently pulling parts, but that could change.

I will update as I see inventory come in.

Re: Junkyard F-bodies
 

I think this is a great idea!
I'm looking forward to seeing what turns up.
I'm looking for an AC high side hard line off of a serpentine belt V8 car.

Re: Junkyard F-bodies
 

really cool idea im in the northeast but next time im at local junkyard ill see what they got and post pics

Re: Junkyard F-bodies
 

I'll keep my eyes open. Austin Wrench-A-Part just crushed a 1992 Firebird with a V8, I grabbed the serp belt brackets for my Sierra but all the A/C parts had been there.

The Houston-Wallisville LKQ also has a 1991 Camaro but no pics and no info.

You would not BELIEVE the cars I see junked on these sites, makes you sick.

I'll start a thread in that region and post what I find.

1983 Z28 at Austin Wrench-A-Part. CFI car, hood flapper is gone as is the air cleaner.

Re: Junkyard F-bodies
 

I don't think I have ever found an air cleaner assembly on a junkyard car. I don't know if the employees take them off or what. Perhaps it is the first thing people take, but I've looked at plenty of F-bodies and never seen any. Heck, I hardly ever find the carburetors either!

Re: Junkyard F-bodies
 

The complete air cleaner was there when I took these pics but laying on the ground, I put it in the trunk and my friend Texas Mike Massey bought it as a wall hanger over the weekend when he grabbed a few other things for his 1982 Z.

Re: Junkyard F-bodies
 

Very, Very cool thread. I will be start looking at junk yards and posting pics. If anyone finds one with a T-5 intact, I am looking for a VSS for my 91.

Re: Junkyard F-bodies
 

That's a small bit, I will keep my eyes open as a few have come through with 5 speeds. Do you happen to know what years will work?

Re: Junkyard F-bodies
 

Pretty sure 90-92 works. Not sure about others. Keep me posted!

Re: Junkyard F-bodies
 

I would actually be interested in a complete WC T5 from those same years as well.

Re: Junkyard F-bodies
 

Austin LKQ on Congress. Some lunkhead junked this 1989 Formula 350 t-top for a bad fuel pump. I nabbed the intake hoses with MAF for $5 (they love me at this yard), when I got there someone had grabbed the TPI intake but it was still a mostly complete WS6 car and fairly well equipped. It had a perfect dash pad, 5 band EQ cassette, co2 canister, 140MPH cluster and gray t-top shades - I got all that and the nice WS6 center caps, sorry.. There were 2 sets of tops in it, a cracked Lexan set and the glass set, extra taillight, fairly nice t-top headliner,

Re: Junkyard F-bodies
 

That's a score!!!

Re: Junkyard F-bodies
 

Are those 16 or 15 inch rims? Always liked those style factory wheels.

Re: Junkyard F-bodies
 

16" WS6 wheels, they were in awesome shape too minus the center caps (a member with a 1988 Formula 350 called me and asked me to get them while I was there).

Re: Junkyard F-bodies
 

Wow what about that mint dash pad…I'd stock pile those

Re: Junkyard F-bodies
 

90 Camaro at the LKQ in Tulsa...
Came in 3/04/2018. The hood is already gone...

Re: Junkyard F-bodies
 

Checked out an 85 Z-28 (v8, auto, grey interior) at Pick and Pay Auto in Beggs, Oklahoma, south of Tulsa, today. Hood, rear end, TPI intake, and dash pad are already gone. Windshield is cracked and the left door is bent. The rest of the body is pretty straight, the rear spoiler and most of the ground effects are there and intact. Nose is decent. The car has only been there since 03/25/2018... Should be available for a while...

Re: Junkyard F-bodies
 

Clearly I need to take a roadtrip west. . .these cars DO NOT show up in my local junk yards. There's been 1 in the past 2 years that I've found.

Re: Junkyard F-bodies
 

Dang I wish I could just find a factory spare tire for one I saw one on one pic.

Re: Junkyard F-bodies
 

I know Virginia (Washington DC area) is a long way from Mississippi.

I have a factory spare that has been taking up space in my shed for long enough.

From 1988 Sport Coupe.

I'd say "very good" condition. Not mint, or even excellent.

Looks like nobody ever drove on it. I don't think I want to put it back in my car. My car is headed kind of in the Frankenstein direction, so any notions of "correct" components has fallen by the wayside.

Shipping something of this sort is way too much hassle, and probably too expensive, even if I had a perfect box with everything labeled and ready to go.

I would let it go cheap if you can pick it up, or if you can get somebody you know in my area to pick it up for you.

16 miles west of the White House.

Re: Junkyard F-bodies
 

I just searched several pic a part yards in Fla. last month in Largo/tampa, Orlando, West Palm and Daytona areas and only found picked over ONE v-6 RS

Re: Junkyard F-bodies
 

Any in the houston area? I am looking for the rear center console ash tray for an 86 camaro.

Re: Junkyard F-bodies
 

LKQ Pick Your Part - Houston Wallisville

Had an '86 Iroc come in on May 1st. I have no idea what is left of the interior, you would have to just take a look.

Re: Junkyard F-bodies
 

Im heading to Tampa Fla. area tomorrow to buy a Cadillac.
Checked all the LKO pic a part yards in Tampa, Largo, Orlando

Re: Junkyard F-bodies
 

Will junk yards sell an entire car? Some of these look to be worth saving.

Re: Junkyard F-bodies
 

Pick and pull sometimes does - the green red and blue I pictured were all 6 cyl cars

Re: Junkyard F-bodies
 

I saw a 1989 GTA in the pick a part yard the other week. In pics, it looked worthwhile. Got there,it was picked apart.

Same yard had a sweet 1987 IROC which still had its engine complete.

Re: Junkyard F-bodies
 

Laws governing sale of salvage vehicles vary among states, and some have different restrictions on if/how such a vehicle can or cannot be restored to roadworthy condition and then be re-registered/sold, somewhat similar to laws concerning reselling flood cars and insurance buy-back vehicles.

Re: Junkyard F-bodies
 

this is where I look - frequently got to get to them quick!

Re: Junkyard F-bodies
 

Pick a part Houston wallisville 84 z28. Rear end, steering wheel, and air cleaner gone.

T5 setup and L69 still there carb to pan a few days ago. Interior cloth is shot, plastics probably good, and glass t-tops. Dashpad no good.

I got the rear, surprising it was a 3.45 9 bolt.
