Default Junk Yard

So I found a pick-n-pull type junk yard in Stafford, VA that has 7 LS400's. Lucky for me I was able to pick up all of the parts for my car that were either broken or missing. I got a new glove box door, side marker lens, air intake tube, air filter cover/battery cover (those 2 plastic covers that disappear the first time you have work done on your car), driver's door window felt weatherstripping, odometer, tachometer needle, battery tray and clamp, 1990 owner's manual and leather booklet, and lastly a non-ripped back bench seat all for $70! I just thought I'd share my excitement with everyone else.

Were they marked CARS for the cash for clunkers program? I had a similar experience in SoCal, but engines were destroyed and spray painted blue. Funny thing was they seemed mechanically sound, but were pretty cosmetically shot.

ck90211 Here it is

Pick A Part
164 Norman Road, Stafford, VA 22554-2803
(540) 657-7425‎

jeffls400: I'm not sure if they were. I didn't notice. I did notice that a few of the engines were spray painted flurescent pink. A few were missing the engine altogether. Only one of them looked like it had been in an accident.
