Which junkyard? How do you get to it?

There were like 3 sets of t-tops for $20, a complete black thirdgen interior in mint condition (firebird) for $40. My best find (and I didn't let it slip) was a thirdgen with Hotchkis LCAs attached to a Ford 9" that was missing the carrier but had the axles and c-clip eliminators! $50 for the setup with 2 15x7 black crosslace wheels with decent tread. THAT was a steal of a deal. Also picked up a disc rear 9 bolt from a thirdgen for $100.
There is a TON of good stuff you can bone from a junkyard if you do some hunting. I just enjoy going there to get parts that would otherwise be turned into scrap metal . Things like ecm's for $15 that sell for $40, wiring harnesses complete that'll catch $80 or more on ebay.
If you're interested let me know. I like to go to the yard in east brunswick.
