i found a lip spoiler equiped cutty in the Jyard today when i was scrapping my truck...the spoiler and right tailight were fine but the drivers side was screwed...he wanted 75$ fer the two and wouldnt budge "i cant sell the mint decklid without the spoiler"

 

i shoulda put a dent in the trunklid... :lol:

 

oh well...it was a little warped in the middle... :(

 

but at least today i picked up a buncha stuff from an 00 impala L36 today

so now i have the heads and shtuff for further work on the SI/SII 3800 Hybrid project... 8)

Al still hasent made up his mind whether he wants to section a 70 442 spoiler and put it on or the cutty wing (he has one, with 3rd brake light) or a lip spoiler...so i didnt buy it...the tail light had some tiny surface cracking/checking on it with a little bit of scratches...and the lip piece had a little wave in the top middle (prob from closing the trunk by it)

 

plus i only had 50$ on me...i would have gotten it if he would have went down to 50$

 

 

i still wish that Al would make up his mind on which spoiler he wants :bash:

 

Oh fer those interested in it...

WOW, what a price shock. I returned from Pull and Save (ie, U - pull) in Spokane WA today and I did in fact walk by a 94 Cutlass with the goodies described. Here's their prices:

 

Tail Lamp by the Inch $1.00

Rear Spoiler $12.00

Trunk Lid-Deck $16.00

 

They could care less what the parts come off of; the price IS the price. Most expensive thing on any car in the yard is an engine assembly @ $135. Another jewel out there, and I've passed them up, is a Super Charger for the 3800 @ a "whopping" $16.00 (same price for ANY turbo charger). They even offer a 30 day guarantee on their parts :D . Don't you guys have a self serv junk yard like this in your neck of the woods?

 

*Newest cars on the lot are normally a 94 or older. No air bags are available for resale. Come hell or high water, these cars are on the lot for 30 - 45 days then it's off to the crusher. No regards for what is still left on the car. They buy them for $50 - $75 on average. And the supply is endless with over 100 cars amonth passing through there in the winter. More in the summer.

which side light was it? I need the passenger (i think) side, its cracked

too spensive. cant really see the crack in mine, so 45$ is a bit steep. if my stupid roommate wouldnt have broken the other one I had when we moved out I'da had one. Oh well, I'll look next week, I can probably find one if i look hard enough

$16 supercharger or turbo...i needs me either of them :wink:

Sounds like Parts Galore. Honestly the prices sound the same too. God knows I love the place.

Got a set in a yard that is about a block away from me that seems to be in good condition. I listed it in the FS section.

 

And I wish I had a yard like that in Flint. All 3 million of them are only interested in how much they can make off people.
