Wow, look what i, happen across while out doing my junkyard stroll !! A complete 1970 skylark, "350 and all" complete interior. 1971 skylark all but no doors. and a four door 1970 skylark, no engine and no interior.
I would grab the stainless off the 70 grills and the metal piece on the bottom of the grills. That alone can be worth 150 a set or more!
I lived in Tidewater about 20 years ago and went to several junkyards on Indian River Road. Ingram's and Tubb's were two of 'em (near the old Ford truck plant in South Norfolk). They always had the old stuff and would let you pull your own parts. I wish I had saved some of the 3-spoke Buick steering wheels that were there, in abundance. :spank: The Va Beach, Chesapeake,Portsmouth and Suffolk area probably still holds some very nice vintage yards. Also "LKQ-Pick-A-Part" has a "sorta" new yard in Dam Neck . I miss being able to visit the old yards; Florida just doesn't have enough "vintage" places. o No: ( But it's warm eleven months out of the year, so I'm not complaining :Brow :TU: :TU: :TU:
Get back to the 70 models and get all specific 70 model part such as front and rear bumpers headlight bezels hood trim bumper brackets front parking light housings Would be a good idea to get the core supports, hood latch supports, hood hinges, wheel wells, dash pads, wheel well stainless, instrument clusters....etc You can sell many parts from those cars quickly.
Yep, Do listen to George, He's good and he's helped me out with some of my restore. Thanks Georgey! Scott
Yea, i'm going back Thursday and gather some more parts up and take pictures with my digital camera. Got another Junkyard where i know of a 69 and 71, is at, no engine/tranny but penty of body parts.
Good news and bad news: Good news 1st, brown car is a 70 skylark, in complete condition, 350/transmission,rear end,interior,and all, "nice". and with a little time, Even runs from what owner says. other car with no doors is a 71 skylark. Car without doors, can pull parts allday long. Now Bad news, 70 skylark, no parts available and will only sell as a complete car, 1800.00.
