Chevelle graveyard

Post by dhw3971 on Tue Nov 02, 2010 10:52 am

some pics from a recent trip to Bud's Auto Parts in Greenville, MI. Found a door for my old wagon there and a few trim bits as well. The brown '74 wagon provided the door.

Should I cry for all of the lost cars or jump for joy that there's still a salvage yard with a lot of good parts for cars from the 70's?

I'm willing to bet you will find a manual trans set up, a tach cluster, a posi rear end, & other desirable parts somewhere in those stacks.

I may visit again this year and if I do I'll take some more pictures to share. There maybe have been 6-8 rows of Chevelles/Malibus from the 2nd to 4th generation. I only had about 1.5 hours to spend there so I didn't look around a lot. Next time I'll give myself more time to scrounge.

That's a great idea...all those cars are languishing and need to be used for a better purpose.

That place isn't too far from me, maybe 100 miles. I'm a bit east of Saginaw. Looks like they have a grill etc that I could use, and also some '75 headlight housings. I would like the use the single head light set-up, as opposed to the duals.

How are the prices? Some of those old yards think their cars are gold plated.
