Wrench-A-Part

Laird is at our new Wrench-A-Part down in South Austin right now and he's sending me pics.

Here's the first batch. Nothing OUTSTANDING but always fun to see the latest yard junk:

Roady wagon, lots of trim left


SAD! Dead Trans Am. Burt Reynolds is crying somewhere


Wrecked Citation Coupe. Was clean, but very plain. Dash is not cracked...I looked forever for a good one for my X-11. Now I don't need it. Ha!




Weird G-body Aeroback Buick. Those were odd


Big 73 Poncho


Hearse


Something tells me this was not a Texas car.....


I've got him looking for a red Regal GS steering wheel for me. I hope he sees one.

Will post more pics if he sends any.

The firebird has seen better days and you are right ,its not a texas car!

Hey! How about that wagon back there. More pics!

Good eye! I already texted Laird to get some pics of it, but he left the yard an hour ago. It's already 91 degrees headed for 106 degrees this afternoon. He got there when they opened and left before the heat stroke could set in.

Well, there are worse places to croak. Besides, that yard has a hearse at the ready. Speaking of passing on, do you think Heaven has endless scrap yards that can be picked for eternity?

My heaven does. ; )

LMAO Greg thats an interesting way of looking at things.Mike heaven of perfect cars that all
need cleaning and wax.All of them will be missing a few parts that Mike has to go to his clean PAVED junkyard to find the parts laying on the clean carpet of the individual cars.All the junk cars will be washed regularly and waxed yearly.There will be a free wash and vaccuum station
that is on a truck so you can drive to the car thats dirty.Sounds crazy but thats Mikes heaven.

.

My only Poncho was a 73 Granville Vert with a 455. 8MPG and neck snapping torque when that quadrajet secondaries kicked in

Hmmm... I may know someone interested in the trim off that hearse.

EDIT: That hearse is a Eureka, my friend's is a Superior. BUT if you don't mind asking him (or you yourself depending on junkyard adventures?) to open the rear and see if there are any bier pins inside, those would be SUPER helpful.


They're the large pins that go in the floor that are designed to hold a casket in place while inside the car.
