New Texas Yard Pics, and some good scores too!

I was in Dell technical enterprise training from 8am-4pm today, and have got day two of this tomorrow. Well after looking at charts and Powerpoint presentations all day, I NEEDED to blow off some steam.

Walked out of the office, jumped in the Cruiser, and headed to South Austin. Got to Wrench-A-Part at 4:45....they close at 5:30. I RAN through the yard, got ya'll some new pics, and me a couple neat finds.

Since you guys seem to like yard pics...here we go!

NICE roof-rack...painted the wood body color too. Classy!


G-body Monte


Picked-over G-body Cutlass


And a Regal too. Lots of G's today!

No dash cracks!


Sad Impala SS


70's Nova



This Roady wagon had a SUPER NICE grill. Texas chrome, no spots, very few road chips, I NABBED IT. Also got the TRW box for the keyless entry. Hope it works!





Another 70's Nova...coupe this time, big duals...and a hitch




91 Caprice with leather seats



Funky-paint Caprice


Not just a slope-back Seville, but with a fake ragtop too! Ewww



96 Caprice


Cutlass with some FUNKY body mods. Check out the side windows





This old Riv was rough but COOL! It's a Gran Sport with a 425 under the hood. Check out the cool shifter and console!!








6000STE


Eldorado Northstar...real shame these were not made better. I still think they're sharp


T-top Formula Firebird


Cutlass Convertible


Black LT1 Z28



Walked through some non-GM stuff on the way out.

Groovy Man



A Maverick for Doc..parts for the Grabber!



Range Rover...ha


One of the few Fords I respect. Yamaha-Ford SHO's were BAAAAD..window sticker in the glove box





BIG Chryslers!









PT Looser


Pardon me, but do you have any Grey Poupon?


I found where all the parts from the teal Cutlass convertible above ended up. This was in the parking lot



Fun, if fast time at the yard. Nice way to blow off some steam from being in class all day! Looking forward to trying out the TRW box.

Hope you liked the pics!

Some people drink when stressed,you hit the JY's which is much better than the first method!

Please tell me you got those composite valve covers that were sitting under the hood of that LT1 Z28!!!!!!

Look in the bottom right of the picture. Looks like the ridges on the regular valve covers, NOT the LT4 composite valve covers you so desperately want.

I think you are right my friend. The first picture they looked like the Vette covers.

Nope, interior was GONE

Yep, I agree!

I'm still liking the shifter and console in that '68 Riviera. Seems a real shame to have that crushed. I gotta think that somewhere there is a Riv guy with a column-shift car that would kill for that console setup.

That Riv also has the "Strato" bucket seats, same as used in all the mid-size GM musclecars from 68-72, plus the steering column without the shift lever.

I need to find a Buick forum and post that car, before it goes to waste.

Hey on that Riv can you get me the 2 horns off the hood along with the whip. next time your in that yard. I could use those on an upcoming project.
