Default Wanted: '89 3800 Dipstick & Oil Filler Cap

Hi Everyone,
I've got a 1989 LeSabre 3800 that developed a exhaust manifold crack and melted the dipstick handle and oil filler cap. To keep it original, I'm looking for the
original gray dipstick and filler cap. I also need the 3 metal shields for the spark plug boots.

I've check local salvage yards with no luck....

I live in Loveland, Colorado

Thanks,
Larry

In that area your best luck would be to keep an eye on all of the self-serve yards until your vehicle pops up.

I looked around:

- There'* a 1988 LeSabre Limited at U Pull & Pay in Colorado Springs. Row 71, in yard 33 days
- There'* a 1988 LeSabre Limited at U Pull & Pay in Denver. Row 73, in yard 23 days

The three self-serve chains that I know of in the area are:

- upullandpay.com (Aurora, Colorado Springs, and Denver)
- lkqpickyourpart.com (Aurora and Denver)
- littletonupull.com (Littleton)

There might be a few standalones out there as well, but those started disappearing quickly around 2010.

There is also:

- Erie Auto Salvage (in Erie right next to I-25)
- Speedway Auto Wrecking (in Erie right next to Erie Auto Salvage)
