i am going into iowa on tuesday and wedsday to pick up my sons b-day present a workable 68 wildcat :3gears: is there any yards i can stop by and see for parts on cars? going through madison to prairie du chien and then over toward waterloo, iowa :grin: anybody's help is apreciated :bglasses: thanks Greg :Comp: ghildebrand@wi.rr.com
Only one in this region that has old cars, and it is 8 miles east of Cedar Rapids on 30 hiway. Many cars from 50s and up. Mark
thanks mark does the yard have a name or number i can connect with. i will be close for sure to cedar rapids thats within 30 miles of where the car is. thanks Greg
The yard about 8 miles west of CR is Beckers Auto Salvage ...... I doubt they have anything left for Buick stuff....... I scrounged alot of stuff from them back in the early 80's. i think I got every GS emblem in the place as well as all the dash tachs and such......they probably have crushed anything that old by now. Mike
thanks guys i am on my way here so i guess its close i'll check it out i'm not a gs skylark guy. the guy comeing with me is a pontiac guy and maybe they can give us a few leads if nothing else thanks and talk to ya when i get back Greg :TU:
well i went to the yard not alot of stuff there but what i found was gold to me thanks much for telling me about it. the yard was not that far out of the way either. what i found was 2 wildcat center caps like new in the trunk yet lots of chrome from a 65 wildcat as well. also all the power switches from the wildcat the yard has changed hand its not beakers anymore but something else the parts cost me $20 smackers :bglasses: great price. thanks again Greg :TU:
