I can't seem to find any wrecked 98+ F-bodies in the junkyards around here. Any place you guys know of that tends to get any of these? Thanks.

If you find one, let me know. I need a 00+ 6spd console.

Try: Greenleaf New England, formerly B&D Used Auto Parts on Rte. 2A in Shirley, Ma. They had some 4th gen F-Bodies and parts up there not too long ago... WJ

If anyone happens to find one... lemme know. I need a vent assembly from a transam, and an A4 console section for my th400 next spring. If the interior is Ebony, there's a couple other things that I'd want too.. but I'd have to go evaluate to see if it's worth it...

Sometimes, these yards won't sell little piddly-*** items, especially if the interior of the car is completely intact, etc., they surely won't break it up, nor will they even let you out in their yard for a 5 dollar item....But, if it's worth their while $$ wise, you've got a shot at getting out there to see their 4th Gen F-body inventory. A call before you make the long drive up will pretty much let you know their operating procedures.... WJ

Is this it?
http://www.greenleafauto.com/
They have a location in Shirley and Leominster

From the description on their website, it doesnt sound like a place you can show up and pull a part off the car yourself.

Most of the yards around will not let you wander around among the vehicles by yourself, however, they will escort you out to look at the part you're interested in, before you purchase it and they pull it off the vehicle...That's the way of the world in the salvage business today most everywhere. Greenleaf is a decent outfit, though, and they usually have some 4th Gen F-bodys there... WJ

Jack's still lets you walk around on your own.
At least they did the last time I was there.
(That must have been a year ago now though.)
They didnt have any 4thGen F-Bodies then though (I dont know about now)

Yeah, thats real close to me. They have a Bird and camaro but both are totally trashed and stripped. They also charge BS prices compared to what other local yards want for the same part. Interestingly I went there for the first time in a while recently and they still let you roam around but you have to sign a waiver, and they undid all their double stacks. I guess someone got hurt bad by a car toppling on them or something.
