Hey people hows it going?

I have a 91 RS that I'm currently working on at the moment. You know the basic body work interior/exterior ect. Theres parts that I need so I made some calls to the local Junkyards here in Tucson, OMG....is it just me or are these dogs in a bad mood 24/7? Makes me want to go kick a cat, j/k. I call them as kind as I can be and then next thing you know it I feel like driving over there and ...well I'm sure you know the rest...

Either way do any of you know a good place to check out? I'm not expecting to be treated like royalty and all but come on no need to be treaded like a d***


Thanks for your help....

Depends on what you are looking for. There are a lot of good parts out there, but the people that work at these yards don't have a clue what they have there or what is good in them. In most cases, you will find the part that you need in a car and the part being worse than the one you currently have. Most of us on here probably have good parts or have access to getting you the part. If you can make an occasional trip up here to Phoenix, we might be able to help you out and get you the quality parts you are looking for.

 

I would recommend going to the pull-a-part yards.

 

birdtojag....thanks for the info and what you said makes sence. I'll PM you with a list of what I'm looking for. Thanks for the reply and time....


Pull junkyard thing....I might have to try that out.



Thanks again guys

 

I usually do the pull-a-part thing and have had good luck there...

 

lol i have had good luck with the yards lately, except the pick and pull on extension, i love going in there and listening to all of them talk trash in spanish its pretty entertaining when they realize youre listening to them

 

I thought it was that way at all the yards....

 

dont we have a single pullapart here in tucson??? usually when i need crap i go to Parts 4 Less, they have a $40-something minimum though, but its better than godforsaken Beep Beep.

Here's somewhere to avoid, ACS parts. The dude never puts a shirt on and just keeps going on about having to crush cars. Worst of all - goats. The yard raises goats. There's goat $h1t everywhere and they eat the interiors.

Tucson has the worst junkyards ever. I'd like to go to the ones like you'd see in old school episodes of knight rider.

 

Texas to Minnesota California to New york I think its common to find that result

 

I guess phoenix is just lucky... Beep Beep auto parts is still in business? I used to live in Tucson, and there arent very many good parts yards. I would think there would be at least one good pick-n-pull or something like that up there...

 

I live here in michigan and there are some good junkyards around here. Real good peaople running them last week I got a set of 89 GTA tailights all 3 pieces for $15.
I also havea guy that has 13 3rd gens mostly camaro 2 being 85 iroc and supposedly has parts from a 84 iroc it was a test car.
Anyway that guy has 3 semi trailer full of parts.

look on craiglist in Michigan, southwest Mi
He does shipping

 

lol michigan is like the car kingdom to begin with i wish i saw more cars around here in the yards, except the only positive side is az has that natural preservation ability with the lack of humidity and rain lol

I think the best deal/find ive ever gotten is my front clip w/ the aero GFX i got for $20 i guess the car was delivered that morning and i wasnt even there to get parts for my thirdgen, we needed a seatbelt for my friends truck and as soon as i saw it my jaw dropped. I pulled it off and took it up front and they told me $20 and i was suprised, apparently they dont know the value of their stuff haha

 

Wow, I have been searching for the 91-92 GTA 2 pc taillights and cannot find them for under 300.oo. <SIGH>

 

OMG Screw these junkyards in Tucson!!!! Alright thanks guys for your info and advice but I think I'm better off playing around in the Year One or Summit!!!

I like Tucson but man some of the people here are plane out stupid!!!

As for the Yards I'll check out phx!!!

 

well i dunno about tucson but phx yards are really good from my experience lol i try to avoid year one and summit if i can im pretty cheap

 

master_disaster...

I'm a very cheap guy when it comes to parts. Now driving in Phx, the traffic there is crazy!!! LOL

The way things are looking I think I'm better off checking out Craigslist ...hahah

 

Craigslist is ok. I like ebay!

 

Ok so Junkyards are not all that as they used to be. But if any of people work there or knows someone that works there let us know where to go or who to talk to ....


Thanks people...

 

pick a part on extension is pretty good provided they have a thridgen that isnt trrashed

 

There are a couple of J-yards on broadway (Around 35th ave) and a couple on 27 th ave (Around lincoln) That always have some pretty clean Turdgens.... er...THIRDGENS... yeah.

 

There is ONE pick-n-pull in Tucson, and unless you're looking for something pre-82, they probably don't have it. The cars are also kept until they're GONE, which means inventory doesn't move very fast. It's on El Camino de la Tierra heading south from Ina. Big sign, just up the road from Chuck's Trucks (good yard, has a lot more than trucks). All of the other pick-and-pulls shut down their you-pull-it service due to insurance (or some moron killing himself and suing and probably winning. >.<).

Best (Love's?) is good down off of Illinois St on Contractor's Way, usually have a few thirdgens, but never with good interior. To get the parts selection I wanted I drove up to Phoenix and went to a pick-and-pull.

 

Hey thanks I'll look into that. Nice camaro...
