Stopped by the local Pick -N-Pull and got some goodies today. Big dump inside.
Lets start with the builders section that are for sale.
First section up is the GMs.
Mopars up next
Toyota Time!
Other imports.
Trucks
I’ll leave you with that. Not pictured was the incredibly clean early 90s F-150 with a slight lowering I spotted in the parking lot.

PNW seems to have interesting people who bought interesting cars. That CNG conversion was interesting.

Where is this? I’m in Oregon and have a hard time finding yards with cars pre 1990.

Yep, I had no idea these existed in the states. The only one I’ve ever seen was on Top Gear when Hammond had one for a cheap car challenge. Apparently the handling was tuned by Lotus too.

This one is in Tacoma, there is usually a good variety of older stuff here.

I love the junkyards up here, so much variety.

That would make sense, I just thought it was a styling piece like they were trying to emulate a limo.

There was a Civic near the end of the import section, and here is an additional Accord coupe just for you.

I might have to take a trip over there. Here in Spokane the two main U-Pull type yards are owned by the same company and the prices aren’t all that great.

A bit far, and the only other time I’ve been to tacoma I got a sizeable ticket, but I may have to make a trip anyway. I see a bunch of stuff I could use there. Including that BMWs exhaust.

Pick-N-Pull owns 4 yards on this side of the state. In Lynnwood( haven’t been), Tacoma, Olympia, and Vancouver(haven’t been). The prices are mostly OK, but I haven’t been to other ones to compare in a long time. Next weekend is 50% off everything if you are a member which is free to join.

The same company has a location in Vancouver, WA as well. It’s 50% off everything next weekend for members which is free to join.

It was a bummer they only had three, it might be difficult finding a fourth. They were in really good shape besides the corrosion.

Sounds like I’ll be heading north this winter. I actually went to HS near vancouver and visit now and then.

Lynnwood one stinks. Only 90's Tauruses and Explorers and shit like that. Go to the one in Machias instead.

That XJS is too awesome.
Good snag on the tail lights. That’s free money right there. Other things of value on those are the headlight bezels (obviously gone), parking light lenses, inclinometers, seats if it’s an SR5, door cards, and, honestly, the hoods and hatches themselves if they’re rust free.

The thing in the 240z is an underhood light. The switch turns it on and the light detaches from the housing, spooling out all of that wire, which is then impossible to put back...

Guessing not the one near South Tacoma? I remember quite a few honda’s at that one. Purely because of abuse and neglect of the owners. Not Honda’s fault.

I remember them being fairly common back in their day actually. The thing is that like all Korean cars imported to the US in that era they ended up at junkyards pretty quickly.

It’s the one in South Tacoma off of 512. There are always Hondas there but most aren’t very interesting. Most of the Hondas have been in an accident or riced into oblivion though

The only reason I remembered the taillights was because you posted about their ridiculous cost. I was really surprised the other guy left them. He took the seats, door cards, spare cover, and some dash stuff. Hatch was unfortunately dented.
That XJS was super nice, I really hope someone buys it so it doesn’t end up as a junker.

I used mine all of once. It took me two days to get all the wire coiled up well enough to put the light back together...

Remarkably little rust for what I thought was a wet part of the world.

I’d check a Datsun and/or Z FB page. They helped me out a lot when I was looking to buy a Z car

Its really not bad. Rust is bad on cars really close to the ocean or if they are left to park for long periods in grass. Also moss can grow on your car and cause rust.
