j_mezz Posted February 10, 2008 Report Posted February 10, 2008 Was in a junk yard nearby me on Long Island looking for CS parts and saw this...I'm an Olds guy so I don't know these cars very well but I'm always willing to help out. It was on top so I didn't get pictures of the interior but if anyone needs something I can try to get back there. Quote
stockgp Posted February 10, 2008 Report Posted February 10, 2008 that's a gtp, not a tgp. still, i'd be interested in the hood if it's in good shape Quote
j_mezz Posted February 10, 2008 Author Report Posted February 10, 2008 Oh, duh. Sorry. Saw the outline of a 3 letter badge and assumed. I'll ask em what they want for the hood... Quote
Brian P Posted February 10, 2008 Report Posted February 10, 2008 what junkyard is that? I'm on LI too. Quote
j_mezz Posted February 10, 2008 Author Report Posted February 10, 2008 Another Islander? And a CS guy at that! Denton Ave, Garden City South. It's the only decent one I know of. Where on the Island are you, got any good ones by you? Quote
j_mezz Posted February 10, 2008 Author Report Posted February 10, 2008 Did find a CS though, might save you some time...Dibs on the steering wheel and the front left fender! Quote
Addicted To Boost Posted February 10, 2008 Report Posted February 10, 2008 What kind of condition are the hood louvers in? Quote
Brian P Posted February 10, 2008 Report Posted February 10, 2008 Another Islander? And a CS guy at that! Denton Ave, Garden City South. It's the only decent one I know of. Where on the Island are you, got any good ones by you? Heh, I'm in Suffolk, in either Ridge or Babylon depending on if I'm home or at work. The only good ones I know of are Lakewood Auto Salvage in Lindenhurst, and Mid-Island auto in Babylon. If it's nothing urgent, I usually wait and go to Pennsylvania for a day during the weekend. Does this one you mention normally let people walk around? How about pulling your own parts? Quote
j_mezz Posted February 10, 2008 Author Report Posted February 10, 2008 It's kind-of small but they do let you walk around and 'browse'. They pull the parts and I think they're prices are probably high in comparison, but it's very close to home so I wander through there fairly often. Quote
intern8tion9l Posted February 10, 2008 Report Posted February 10, 2008 <----long island(medford). we really gotta get on a long island meet this spring/summer Quote
5speedz34 Posted February 11, 2008 Report Posted February 11, 2008 Wtf kind of yard lets you go out when they stack cars on top of each other? Quote
jeremy Posted February 11, 2008 Report Posted February 11, 2008 Wtf kind of yard lets you go out when they stack cars on top of each other? that's probably why it isn't a u-pull Quote
5speedz34 Posted February 11, 2008 Report Posted February 11, 2008 Wtf kind of yard lets you go out when they stack cars on top of each other? that's probably why it isn't a u-pull Still why let people into the yard? Thats just asking for a lawsuit. Quote
Mr_Efficiency Posted February 11, 2008 Report Posted February 11, 2008 theres a yard an hour from me that every month has a $40 all you can carry day. You show up pay your $40 and they let you in and there cars are stacked 2 high and theres about 30 or 40 rows of cars and they are long long rows and basically anything you can pull off and carry out in one trip is yours, I go a few times a year. Only catch is you have to carry your parts and all your tools in one shot acrossed this line as you leave. guys have taken hole motors, lol its good fun Quote

Thats just asking for a lawsuit. That is kinda dumb, but don't tell them that or I'll have to get ALL my parts on E-Gay! Quote
GOT2B GM Posted February 11, 2008 Report Posted February 11, 2008 All the yards around here make you sign a waiver before you enter the yard. Quote
mfewtrail Posted February 12, 2008 Report Posted February 12, 2008 All the yards around here make you sign a waiver before you enter the yard. That's pretty much everywhere unless you somehow stumble into a real "backwoods" type junkyard. If you get hurt at one of those, they probably just crush you along with one of the old cars. Quote
AWeb80 Posted February 12, 2008 Report Posted February 12, 2008 Pull those louvers....SAVE THEM.... They are too rare and really had to find to let them go. I've got an extra set here that is cracked...I need to fix them someday Quote
92 GP Posted February 12, 2008 Report Posted February 12, 2008 Yea definitely get the louvers! I got a set off a TSTE a few years back, got'em for $15 from the yard and were in damn near perfect shape. Of course i found them after making the ram-air hood, so i put them on ebay, sold for $120+ shipping Quote
j_mezz Posted February 16, 2008 Author Report Posted February 16, 2008 OK, here's the deal, they want 75 for the hood but won't sell the louvers seperately. I could probably buy the hood and just take the louvers, are they worth $75 + shipping to anyone? got more pictures, the hood and louvers do look pretty nice, as does the interior. Drivers seat already gone, but has all the bells and whistles - HUD, stock CD, rear buckets. PM me for the full resolution pictures. I hate to see good parts go to waste so I'll get anything anyone wants, I just don't want to start a collection of parts for a car I don't have. StockGP asked about the hood first so he's got dibs. I don't think I want to get involved with shipping that thing though...or the seats but I can pick up and hold for a little while. Quote
AWeb80 Posted February 16, 2008 Report Posted February 16, 2008 it might take time....but you will eventually get $75 for those louvers.... please get them and save them....i'd cry if I found out how many have been sent to the crushers. GM doesn't have any left...only one or two pass side ones...and they want $150 for it. Quote
Addicted To Boost Posted February 16, 2008 Report Posted February 16, 2008 What kind of shape is the CD player in? Any idea what they want for it? Quote
Psych0matt Posted February 16, 2008 Report Posted February 16, 2008 holy shnizz I want that interior!!! Quote
