Spotted another, nice early example.

 

Kinda I live South of SF, near SFO. Walnut Creek area is NICE and SAFE but $$$$$ !!!
Lower standard of living ?? Compared to Ohio, You'll be in FIRST CLASS PARADISE here in California

Good luck on the move

This beauty has not been well kept Paint is flaky, lot of rust, pics look better than the car actually
Saw it today on a local private parking lot. Must be 87 or 88, has digital dash and all...

Sadly, the owner doesn't want to sell the car. She said she was gonna fix it herself lol

 

Nice! That's too bad, becuase chances are it's just going to sit there like that.

 

It looks so good but looking at that steering wheel it seems there's moisture inside and that's probably from t tops leaking and if that happened the floors are probably gone ....all that but it still looks amazing in pictures .

 

That wheel looks a little fuzzy.

 

There should be a state-licensed thirdgen inspector who can expropriate neglected cars and give them to a certified thirdgen lover like me

 

Saw this guy on my way to work today in Mississauga, ON. Looks pretty mean! I wonder if they're a member here...

 

Spotted this red on red 305 TPI 87 IROC today. Pretty clean in general. Waiting in the parking lot to see if the owner comes out.

 

Ok so I stopped and took a couple more pics...interior is trashed but not too bad. No cracks in the dash pad, weird radio, all in a all its a pretty solid car.

Wonder Where He Learned How To Park.

 

that is not a trashed interior..lol a couple stains?

 

Thanks Dave I mean I will be able to afford less...

 

Stole this from the PY board - scrap yard in Wisconsin - scratch another 87 off the list.

 

Like I've said before... Some people should just not own third gens. He could at least give his first car a bath! Jesus...


There's a 92 drop top somewhere under all that dirt! I saw this out on my UPS route today at a diesel shop. Owner says it's his first car and it's not costing him anything to keep it.[/QUOTE]

 

[/QUOTE]

True but I give him kudos for keeping it. I wish I had my 86 TA

 

Saw this one in the neighborhood.

 

I meant it was "trashed" meaning trash everywhere. I finally got to talk to the guy the other day. He bought it off the original owner. 90K original miles and all original besides that goofy radio. It was a really highly optioned 87 too!

 

Spotted this 86 Trans Am! From the looks of it, the driver was the original owner. Old guy with a big white long beard. Solid looking car though!

 

saw this one in SF - I just moved here..

windows up - t-top off.. rough car but...rust and big rims.. yumm...

 

Looks to have a rust issue in the rear quarter panel. From the looks of it, it probably has much more rust.

 

Went out of town this weekend and the wife spotted this one.

 

I don't see a LOT of third gens around Austin but I don't get out often either. Usually I'll see my friend Brendan Nuss's 1987 IROC or Ernie Massey's 1982 Z28.

I do see this one at my wife's dr's office though.

 

Wow that's a clean GTA! Nice find

 

Is this allowed in this thread?

I saw this in the inventory at LKQ in Anaheim. I am constantly looking through salvage listings and finding nice third gens.

This makes me very sad that some one would junk this 1986 Sport Coupe.

 

I think its not a sport coupe but a berlinetta camaro....

 

You may be right, unless it's a Z28, I am not well versed on the outside differences between a base Camaro, Sport Coupe or Berlinetta.

 

it has the berlinetta rims and the told tape at the lower part of the body line

 

Looks like possibly clear lenses too.

 

Man i would love to get my hands on that berlinetta

 

Looks Like It Could Be A Sport Coupe.

 

I live about 15min from that JY w/ the berli above, was thinking of taking a trip there today.Theres another LKQ about 2 miles from this one too(Stanton).

 

Also What In Hell Happened To That Car In The Background.

 

good eye, GT! Probably a high speed chase gone wrong.......if you look REALLY close, you can see the Purp fleeing on foot!

 

I think you are right. also the slim grill holes between the headlights

 

You guys want to see some more JY pics? I have some that would probably literally make you sick to see, in terms of nice cars that should not have been junked to a 23,000 mile 1989 IROC convertible on which a tree fell.

 

Lets see them

 

Pulled up beside this guy Saturday in Huntsville. 91 GTA, 305 5 speed, original owner. Was talking through the windows at a looooooong stoplight, wife snapped a pic while babbling to him. 1st time out in 6 years! He just got back from a car show. I didn't ask how he did, but the car was very clean.

 

It is indeed a Berli, 86 model, clear lenses w/ factory N65, G80, GU2 & J65.Still had those intact.I wanted snag the Spare, still had the CO canister mounted.Didnt even look like either was ever used.Car is PE1 option (14x7 whls), but N65 equipped.Cause of the posi, I guess.Its all on the RPO.Kinda is a shame, how many berlis are so equipped?

In the car next to it were a lot of the service records & owners manual/RPO sheet.Took those two, plus the OH console.

On the way out I was so fixated on the Opel.I didn't even notice the Iroc, til I took out my cell.

 

Cool! I rather like the Berli dash and console.

The 89 IROC.

 

Saw this on Copart a while back, someone DONATED it.

 

THis is currently in the Victorville, Ca LKQ.

 

Also in Victorville LKQ.

 

These are all in Sun Valley LKQ. I am not able to get to these cars for parts, I just scour the salvage yard and auction listings. It would be good to have a thread for finding junkyard cars so members local to them can go save parts. Some of the cars I see junked would make a grown man weep.

 

Someone put an '86-89 Corvette wheel in this 1989. Doesn't appear to have functioning telescopic though. My Sierra does, I put a 1986 'Vette wheel in it and used Cadillac DeVille parts to make the tele functional.





Same yard.....

 

LKQ Charlotte...I guess Michael Knight ran in to some financial trouble and had to sell K.I.T.T. for scrap.

 

Wow what a shame.

 

Cant believe someone donated the GTA.Hopefully is was sold whole & not put in the yard.All are a sad sight though.

 

for KNIGHT enthusiasts that front end looks quite good!

Sad though. it used to be a red bird... never knew that

 

That is why I love this thread.

Sad to see so many neglected 3rd gens.Its like a toy store and you want to have all of them to save them.
