Got a heck of a deal at the local junkyard. My buddy and I picked up a taillight for his '88 monte and I got a headlight, sidemarker, and fog light all for $50. I was just happily suprised to actually find 3 96+ bonnevilles.

That'* the one I go to. It'* called Gibsons. The one I pulled my stuff off of was complete. I couldn't see anything wrong with it. Another one has front end damage and the entire engine compartment is melted. The third has front end damage as well. And yeah, there is a ton of 95- bonnies.
THATS right, GIBSONS. Well shoot, last time I was there, they had like 10. I've gotta run down there soon and grab a few things myself. Whereabouts is this nice untouched car you speak of? First row on the left with the rest? Because I found a couple nice ones way out in the back in the middle of some fords
Nice find! I still don't find many '96-99s here in the yards. Most are pre-'96 and they often send them to the crusher pretty quickly. Must not be that much used market down here for them, I guess.

You guys are soooooo friggin lucky. There are maybe 4 or 5 salvage yards in Memphis and not a single Bonneville among any of them. In fact, alot of Bonnies get stolen around here for parts. the gangsta'* seem to love our cars for drive-by'* and smash and grabs. oh and the Mexicans turn em into lowriders
I'm headin down there this coming wednesday probably. Prepared to get what anyone needs! Unless of course one of you guys are running down there then I won't even bother. Anyone makin a run down there? I need some stuff soon.

wj-yeah, it'* first row on the left. I think it was about halfway down. There'* even a 2000+ model there now too. Engine bay is completely torched. The tails were in good shape though. Have fun hunting!
