Texas Salvage Yard Finds

Sad Stuff. Most of these were Obama Cash for Clunkers victims...

I see quite a few pairs of quarters that would make us New England guys happy

Btw, if you ever head back to the JY where that gray Caprice is, I could really use the belt trim on the passenger side over the rear wheel well.

grab that rear glass from that grey one as well,everyone should have a spare one of those for sure.

I need the handle for the 3rd row seat panel...the locking one, off the blue caprice...ole buddy ol pal, lol.....

Look what I started

I need the lower (Driver Rear Door) chrome trim from one of the Caprice Wagons.

On a side note, I thought C4C cars had to be crushed after 6 months?

Better grab that RM grille. Those go for decent money too.

I see nothing but dollar signs looking in that yard. LOL I need to visit the one here in Jacksonville....

I bet you wont post another JY photo again will you Mike?I saw hardly any damage due to a wreck on any of those
wagons.Damn even the Texas JY wagons look nicer than the DD up north do.
Mike you could make a lot of wagon fans up in the rust belt very happy if you want to start stripping wagons.
I even saw someone with back door sail panels on ebay last week.
Something to think about!

I read that too, but there are still a few cars in my local JY that have CFC/ Bad Motor written on them that are getting picked thru.

Man, bring a sawzall and cut out those rear quarters on all of em. I'll even buy a set for myself.

The pics almost remind me of Where's Waldo.

See if you can spot Mike's little tool set in the pics.

I can only find it in 3.

LOL Damn I just went back and looked for the tool set in all of them. Look what you did!

Sorry Gang, those are three hours away in Dallas...actually Fort Worth.

I'm be back up there in a few weeks with tools and camera in hand. My in-laws live there...and I hide in the salvage yards... ; )

Oh and there are a TON of CFC cars still in the yards here. Don't think they're enforcing the rules too hard on those.

The white Buick with the Texas plate still on the front bumper is at Harolds Salvage about 20-mins away. It's pretty picked over though.

I did nab a spare Collector's Edition hood ornament off the white Buick with the tan Vista Roof trim leaning on the bumper. That car was CLEAN....sad to see it clunkered.

Also got a spare pair of sunshade rods for the Vista roof, and another chrome flush sliding roof rail.

NOT ONE of these cars had the dark red inside door handle trim I need...or a good drivers front door panel. Needle in a haystack!!

I'll let everyone know before my next yard trip...so you can give me the "wanted" lists. I'll be looking for Roadmaster and Cutlass parts now.

Toys!!
