I'm looking for a needle in a haystack - are there any F-body salvage yards? I've called Fabulous Firebirds...are they still in business? Does anybody know of any others? Thanks...

[beemergary]

I thought there was one on the west side of Michigan that may have included camaros. Or was that the one called fabalous firebirds. Just seen an ad but can't remember where. Maybe old car trader. Heck I don't know Good Luck

[beemergary]

Maybe someone in the firbird section can help.

Log onto the first generation firebird website and ask around for what you need. A good group of people focused on 1st gens hang over there. Good luck.

JUST SOUTH OF YOUNGSTOWN THERE IS A F BODY JUNKYARK CALLED CAMBIRD. THERE NUMBER IS (330) 549-3685. IT IS LIKE WALKING INTO A TIME CAPSULE.

Um, ok......thank you!

I've posted in the Firebird section, and after posting this I did think about First Gen Firebirds website...I'll post a thread over there as well, and call that place Cambird. Thanks!

I've lived in West Michigan my whole life and I don't know of any around here.

There was a company in CA around ONTARIO I recall that parted out dozens of CAMAROS and FBs each week according to old article I read in Muscle Car Review mag back in late 80s/early 90s I recall.

Dont remember the name but they parted out hundereds of cars and had pictures of their parts. It was a block long building full of parts...everything you can find on a car.

I will look in my pile and see if I can find the artiucle but that might be time consuming, but make an effort when I can.

Might be a long shot but you never know. I havent seen them listed anywhere else so probably out of business. Maybe he sold it all in latest runs on parts, but you never know.
People still finding rare cars so anything is possible.

Might try google for salvage in CA or other key words I used.

Didnt know about a new owner, last was there around '02.
Whats a '55 or 400 go for out in your neck of the woods ?
I have a stack of them , cleaned & magnufluxed; I'm probably going to be selling soon, since I'll never use 'em.

I have no idea. The Pontiac community is pretty weak out here, not a lot of Ponchos out west...I picked up that 455 that "had been rebuilt by the best blah blah blah..." for $1500 but I paid too much for it.

Are you talking about Z & Z Auto? It was as you described. Maybe it was Lemon Street in Orange? I was there in 87 to visit Bruce Logan, whose 69TA was getting finished with a Ram air V. I recall it was 70 miles from Canoga Park where I was staying a couple weeks on business.

[JLHarper]

EINSTEIN:

That might be the place...kind of sounds like it.

He had a city block of buildings I recall full of parts....bumpers in one building,
seats in another...row after row.

They were buying them in the SW and parting clean plain jane cars keeping some of the more rare ones for resto.
They still around?

[67blackcherry]

I drive past the city of Orange everyday...I would also be interested if that place is still in business...Orange is very well developed though - how long ago was that?

[einstein]

Paul, did you actually read all of my post? Nineteen eighty-seven.

It was an industrial area, pretty well built up then also. I don't recall seeing undeveloped areas like they still had up in Canoga/Topanga area at that time.

What is it that you actually need? There's plenty of guys who deal used 67-69 Firebird parts, many of whom have done so since the late 70s.

Uh......yeah :o

i dealt with Z &Z about ten years ago, then they apparently closed up their location and one of those involved reopened somewhere else nearby (iirc). i'd have to dig around to find names/numbers.

Thanks.
That stupid little piece I'm looking for is holding up putting the interior ducting back together - and it's too near Christmas I can't get out to Memory Lanes to start digging around there...
