Where the heck are they?

In every salvage yard that I have been in, I have yet to come across a 90- 92 camaro. There are some interior specific parts that I wouldn't mind having spares of , since all of the button accents are yellow you can't replace them with the 82- 89 variety.There were about 205, 000 of these cars produced. Seeing that we are1/10th the US population I would assume that we got 10% of the production up here. So roughly 20, 000 of these made ther way up here from Van Nuys. Given that the newest of the bunch is now 12 years old, why are there not more of them in the junkyard?Has anyone come across a 90- 92 Camaro in their junkyard exploits?If so could you please give me the name of the salvage yard so I can have a look at it.

Places like "Paradise Alley" is where they are. They get contracts at wreckers to buy them as soon as they come in, and then overcharge us some for the parts. But you need the parts, then they are the people to see.

That it does considering these parts are all N.S or discontinuted. I have yet to see any 90-92's in any yard I have frequented. But many of 89 and down. If I come across anything Steve, I will be sure to let you know asap.
