Found a new Yard full of 3rd Gens
Hi Guy's
Found a yard full of camaros and trans am's. I was looking for parts for my 1950 chevy at the time. Got all the expensive trim for my 50 for $40 then took a good look around the yard. Bought a set of perfect fog lamps for $60.
The yard is Terrel's on 90 just outside of Liberty, you want the classic car/scrap metal yard next door to it. Its all owned by the same owner.
The only problem is the classic car part is open weekdays only.
I was surprised how many cars they had in there. Was even an Iroc with the complete TPI motor, 91/92 Aero's. You name it, it was there.

Re: Found a new Yard full of 3rd Gens
That's nuts. I lived in Dayton growing up (right down the street from Terrel's) and they never had anything of use. I finally grow up and leave the area and they decide to stock parts I'd actually use....you see any 4thgens?

Re: Found a new Yard full of 3rd Gens
There was some late model TA's there. Didn't look in the main yard. I went there just to have a look around as passed it a couple of times last year.
----------
Unfortunately won't be going back there for a while as start a new job monday and will not have any time off for a few months.

Re: Found a new Yard full of 3rd Gens
I plan on heading there this Saturday (so I won't be able to go inside the separate area, just the main yard). I'll take a count.

There are a few 2nd Gen TA's there complete with the hoods, Smokey and the Bandit style. It is a gold mine there.
Also don't forget there is a big swapmeet at the Dragstrip in Baytown this sunday.

Re: Found a new Yard full of 3rd Gens
I used to work for the railroad driving trains,and the tracks run right behind that place, I would say from experience that lot goes under water, deeply under water frequently. Be carefull at what you offer on any electronics. Keep your eyes out for the snakes too.

Re: Found a new Yard full of 3rd Gens
Well, now for the bad news. Went to Terrels today to see what he had. Talked to owner and he now only sells cars and parts 30 years or older on his lot. The non-classic JY is owned by someone else and that is the buisness agreement they have between them. So, he crushed all those 3rd gens he had and sold them for scrap. The only 3rd gens left on the non-classic lot are 2 Camaros and 1 Firebird, all with V6's. Not much left on them. Don't bother going there, waste of time.

Re: Found a new Yard full of 3rd Gens
Its the yard next door to Terrells that has the 3rd Gens. They are at the far back of the lot as you go through the gate. You'll see a lot of classic cars lined up by the fence. The card I have says Bills Antique Parts owner Bill Terrell. It is a seperate yard to the Terrells main yard and is only open weekdays.

If thats the case and he crushed them, then thats a shame as there were a lot of good parts there.

Re: Found a new Yard full of 3rd Gens
I talked to him face to face. He also said things were in "turmoil", whatever that meant as I did not question him further on the matter. All I know is that it was a waste of gas and time. Next time,as I should already know, is to phone first. Cavet emptor. On the other hand, he could be lying as I did not go further into his lot than the office. Of course, that would not make sense. I saw all the old cars lined up along the fence area, did not go around back. Again, said it was a buisness agreement with the group next door( a bunch of Pakis) who I assume are the owners of that section of Terrels. Very dissapointing day. Badman

Re: Found a new Yard full of 3rd Gens
Its been a couple years since I was there but Allstate wrecking yard in Grand Prarie on Jefforson use to have 10-20 thirdgens at a time in the yard. If you call and ask for a part they say they don't have it. But if you go out there you normally can find what you need.
