junkyard parts to look for
Thursday, May 17, 2007 12:36 PM
ok, i searched and i couldn't find a straight up list of parts(3rd gen) to hunt for while in a junkyard. so i'll start one. this is what i can think of right now:


95 Z24(2.3L) metal intake manifold and throttle body

Cavi Blue interior

Sunfire Red interior?

Pretty much any convertible interior parts

secret cams

didn't some car come with a GM strut bar?



feel free to add

I think most people go looking for something they need. Take me, for example: I'm interested in finding the bumpers and skirts from red 95-99 Z24.

The OEM bar is fine, and actually preferable in that it is anchored to the firewall. Some might prefer an aftermarket bar for a showier appearance, but functionality is the same.

I sometimes visit boneyards for fun - you never know what rarities or treasures you just may happen to (literally) trip upon.

I'm looking for headrests from a 3rd gen Cavalier RS - so if you find any, let me know.

if you are looking to make some $, the hvac/stereo bezel is always a good piece to sell. you can usually get about 40-50 for a mint one on ebay. and you can 5 finger the hvac knobs and strip em and sell em as clears. and most things from the drop tops, esp the vinyl interior.

Man, I'd love if you could score those for me (relatively) cheaply! If you can pull and ship for a sum that's not too expensive, I'd love it - particuarly since my car's only got vinyl 'rests. PM/Email me if you can get 'em.

Other parts I've gotta start scrounging for are a charcoal 60/40 seatback from an '03-'05 base sedan. That'll be fun...not.
