I was thinking it was the high performance model due to the QJet and split manifold. They would have been in the Firebird and Le Mans. Was it called the Sprint?

That's too bad they're closing down, Not many of those types of junkyards left.

Yea people(family)not caring on the tradition of their forfolks, to always have NEST egg. always first to complin about GOV (JUST MY OPINOIN) Don't message me in your concerns. most of the ones around PA disappeared while I was in the service, 96/2012 allot nice yards cashed in. Nice Yard, good stuff. like your realism in the price. 10's of dollars. no unrealistic prices, it is what was, man salvaged parts to save the next man a buck so they can fix their ride.

[@charlesecheese8499]

Back in high school in the early 90s, me and my motorhead friends (and even girlfriends on occasion) would pack lunches and go visit old salvage yards out in the country, 3 hours away at times. We’d eat sandwiches on top of old 1940s GM busses and check out acres of ancient iron. We may have snuck away with the occasional emblem but most often we’d pay the few bucks for them at the office. Yard owners were always nice about it. I believe at least some of these yards, with their old inventory, are still around today.

[@moremortskerepair4354]

Good times

[@papeep2694]

Hate to see the old yards fold cause that stuff will never come back around. EPA is shutting down all the old yards around here. Well, not physically closing them. Just making it too expensive to become compliant. The yards just fold. Thanks for letting us tag along again.

[@mphilleo]

Puddin' was looking for a Ford/Mazda Courier grill, if that's what you saw.

[@jrussellcase]

I don't know how many salvageable parts are there as far as a project...but there's definitely plenty to decorate a garage with.

[@Robrt32]

I wish I was close enough, I need a 3 belt water pump pulley for a Ford FE motor. Not sure if other motors would interchange or not. We just don’t have any yards like that. It’s all modern stuff here, all the old stuff has been hauled for scrap

[@W1se0ldg33zer]

There was one in my town where they ended up scooping it all up into a front loader and scrapped what was left. And he did have a section of high performance stuff. I about tripped over a cross-ram manifold in there. Had a big chunk out of a corner. 4 tunnel rams on a top shelf. He had a replica 426 Hemi in the front room which was cool.

[@W1se0ldg33zer]

Matter of fact a guy across town from him had one of those replica Hemi's too. Some kind of promotional thing? idk! I think they were fiberglass.

Another man's junk is another man's treasure. that being said there's so much value with all those parts because USA made, aftermarket parts are made you know where and suck, and a lot of that old Metals going to get crushed up sold overseas and sold back to us as crap metal, I wish some one save all that stuff but a lot of people nowadays don't keep old stuff for Restore anymore or don't care.
