Re: Thirdgen junkyard
I guess it's probably been closed at least eight years now, but Mobile, Alabama used to have a salvage yard called Camaro Heaven. They were well stocked with Firebirds and Mustangs as well. If they hadn't closed my project would be done by now...and I'd be deeply in debt.

Re: Thirdgen junkyard
I called him a while back looking for tail lights and a few other things. The one thing that stuck with me is he wanted $300 for each tail
I didn't even bother giving him the rest of my parts list.

Re: Thirdgen junkyard
Wow, thats beyond ridiculous. He is a 3rd gen hoarder - no offense to anybody here.
How difficult is it to convert a canaidian car to us/english, and or is it required ? My guess is if you have to get inspection then only thing would be kh/mph thing, and perhaps some emissions.
Thoughts ?

Re: Thirdgen junkyard
Wow, he has some good stuff in there. It's a shame he dismantled so many rare cars for parts. I seen several 350 t-top GTA's (Canada only) 2 were carmine red interior cars and one was a paddle mirror. He also has a 82 firebird iron duke 4 speed and a 85-86 IROC in yellow for parts.

$7,000 for a used T56??? Does he not realize you can buy a completely built one from Tick for less than half that? What an idiot.

Re: Thirdgen junkyard
It's really sad that some of these guys would rather watch the cars slowly rust into the ground than sell the parts to people who could make good use of them. What a waste!

How long did it take you to stop laughing at him? That guy is clearly not living in the same universe as the rest of us.

Re: Thirdgen junkyard
This guy is out of his mind. You can buy NOS for cheaper than that. But maybe that's the market in Canada? Hmm....maybe I just stumbled on to a new business idea. Sell into Canada and undercut all these crazy people

Camaro heaven in Tilton NH. Not a pick n pull but has a great catalog on his website of just thirdgen stuff. Really reasonable prices and cheap shipping. Couldn't recommend him enough.

Re: Thirdgen junkyard
Blaceys auto salvage in jackson has quite a few. you have to pay to get in though. $2. personally they are a ripoff though. AAA management in englishtown has shelved thirdgen parts. B&J auto salvage in marlboro has about 10-15. i'll be there this sat to see what new stuff they got.

Re: Thirdgen junkyard
I contacted them about a iroc steering wheel. 480 is his price. the condition would be best available but no idea what that means. I am sure it wouldn't be anywhere near mint. It's a shame this guy is doing this. I wish nothing but misfortune for his business, and hope this guy loses it all. It's not good business to ask these kinds of prices. I also pray that all these cars don't end up getting shredded or crushed. If I were ridiculously wealthy I would go buy all of them set them in an empty lot near the house just let everyone go pick the parts need for projects of them. Keep as many third gens on the road as possible.

Re: Thirdgen junkyard
DavidT's in Canada has been known in the "Hobby" to be a "Royal Canadian RIPOFF" !!! At best it's a good place to look around,Photo and document any rare/unique cars.
You can buy COMPLETE parts car's for the INSANE prices he ask's for one little part
The day the guy "kicks the bucket",I'm sending over a few auto carriers and taking all those '82-84 birds !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Thirdgen junkyard
His prices are insane from what I read and hes the only stupid Canadian up here. When I get parts I sell them cheap as I want them to get back into the hands of people fixing their cars. Nothing on these cars are gold or made of it. I lol'd so hard at $300 a side for tail lights. LOL i sold my last set and they where MINT for $100. All I can say is he doesnt deserve those cars

Re: Thirdgen junkyard
sheesh. Thats absurd. Those prices are ridiculous! I got taillights off ebay for $50 for both sides. Dashpad shipped for $200. IROC Steering wheel with horn for $50. You can find just about anything off ebay if you look hard enough. Now, out here in colorado, pick and pull is not really an option. 3rd gens VERY scarce. Couldn't find a front gold wheel, so went to car parts and got one from a junkyard almost mint for $75 shipped. This guys wants $7k for a t56? he's outta his MIND!

Re: Thirdgen junkyard
There's a place in Searcy, Arkansas that has 3rd and 4th gens I can't remember the name though. I've been meaning to go but the prices seem a little high. Not quite as bad as that place in Canada though.
