I had to go to Wrench-A-Part in South Austin today to find a distributor for my '88 Cutlass 307-to-350 swap, and took a few pics since I think some folks on here enjoy them. No big "finds", and let me tell you it was HOOOTTTT out there today, but I DID get my distributor, which made me happy, and nabbed a few pics while walking around. Here we go! How can you break a car seat....it's impossible! :lol: Jenny Summers: I remember you used to drive that crappy blue Chevy Nova. What are you driving now? Axel Foley: Same crappy blue Chevy Nova. I'm calling my brother Reggie, and I'm calling my brother Gaylord.... :lol: Cheviac Wagon Filthy '94 9C1 Caprice Bumperless big 80's Olds with a TON of good parts left 1978 Buick Wagon with hideous green vinyl interior and a 403 under the hood, along with the distributor I need for my Cutlass engine swap! $30 later it was MINE! Picked-over TBI Roady sedan Rust-free T-top '88 Firebird. Just a V6 but TONS of good parts. T-tops were still perfect too. 80's Monte with lots of good parts
This hurt to see, gold 1996 Roady wagon with just 119K miles on the clock. Happily someone nabbed pretty much the entire interior before it's gone to the crusher. Engine and drivetrain are all still in it. Tow-pack car too. I almost grabbed the sun-shades, they were perfect, but it was SO HOT out there. I did grab both 3rd row reading light/grab handle lenses. I know they are getting hard to find and I WILL have another longroof again! Here's something that is getting harder to find, a rust-free '80 Camaro, with most of it's interior still in it. Lots of good parts for 2nd-gen F-body folks Check out this late 60's Buick Electra. The car itself had a few good parts left, but what got me is it was STUFFED with parts, inside and in the trunk. There was a somewhat rare Chrysler "Tuff Wheel" steering wheel attached to a column laying on the front seat, and some really nice old classic hub caps in the trunk. The late-70's "finned" Pontiac Bonneville caps are neat, and the 70's Caddy caps are getting harder to find too. And lastly, here is a fairly clean and rust-free Impala "Slantback" Coupe. I still like the styling on these. Sadly some dumbass smashed the rear window, the think that made these cars special and also something that is getting more valuble every year. That back glass goes for a lot on Ebay now. Frustrating! Hope you enjoyed strolling through the yard with me! -Mike
would have loved to have a close look myself on the parts in that 67 Electra.... that Buick steering wheel looks great..hopefully the car will still be there when I'm in Austin 3rd week of August (if the Electra makes it there,,)
I've been hoping to come across a front license plate bracket for my Roadmaster wagon. Mine had one on there at some point but it's missing now...Great yard tour btw!!
nice pics, wish we had some big yards like that here in memphis, just a few small pull a parts that camaro looked to have a really straight body on it
cool, yet sad pics.... I've tied a stearing wheel or 2 in my time, never thought to have my daughter do it while playing cats cradle....
