Some guy was telling me at NYIRP about a high end salvage yard in Buffalo that dealt mostly with BMW/Porsche/VW/Lexus I need a couple random impossible to find pieces for the 944 and was wondering if anyone knew where the hell this place is? Or if you know any local yards with 944’s sitting around.

if you have time to travel, i just got back from Virginia Beach, me and the gf drove down, and on RT 15 in central PA there was a junkyard right off the highway and it had bmw’s, porsche’s, audi’s, a few aircooled vw’s, and jag. These cars had mostly mint bodies too, and it was a decent sized yard

The cover for the blowermotor in the cowel area. I’m looking for extra parts to wiring harnesses for my buddy Chris just because he’s always looking for them. I’m also looking for the cylinder head and intake manifold off of a 1988 or 1989 944S. :snky:

definantly have a bunch of teh odball cars there … definantly a pain to get a good price, even on busted parts

when i needed the front end parts for my 240, he KNEW he had the only 240 in any of the local junkyards, and wanted an arm and a leg for shit

only got one TRUELY good pop up headlight assem, the white was was bent to hell and had a busted motor … 75 for the good pop up, 75 for the bad, 150 for the folded bumper cover,

i had to basicly sneak the steel reinforcment out the door (employee told me how, without me asking) , along with the header panel and hood latch supports … otherwise he wanted another $100

the kid was like "yea, the boss wants an assload for this shit … here, wire those supports to the underside of the bumper and walk it out so he cant see, ill leave the rebar right behind the wall by the door and call the boss back to teh yard right after you “leave” … just walk back in and grab it like you paid for it, noone other then the boss would bother to stop u "

so i tossed the kid a $20 for hookin me up … i still made it out $80 cheaper then i should have

the whit headlight turned out to be repairable … measured off the red one and did a motor swap …
