best junkyard finds??

[chi]

just curious here,whats the best deal you've ever run across in a junkyard/pick and pull before? I'm going to pick up an h22a4 for 150 bucks in a few days,it's got 133k on it as well,getting a 5spd from a cb7 until a 5spd prelude rolls through,but its only 80,with a core of 30,core for the engine is 50,so for 150 ill have a h22 in my cb7 with a 5spd which is great considering that's what I paid for the whole car,i think I got a steal I also found a bell tech c-notch,lowering springs,flip kit,and shocks for my 91 Chevy for 120 bucks at the same place! As well as a few sets of wheels for the accord and truck,i think I priced it all at around 450,for almost 3500 worth of parts lol I cant be the only person that enjoys looking through all these forgotten gems and sifting through the seats for all the change of the PO xD

I picked up a 1LE brake kit from a 3rd gen Camaro in a Houston JY with the help of Jarrett, I paid under $75 on a very sought after system button those cars when found used it runs over $750. It might sound ridiculous for that type of price on a factory brake system but numbers for said kit were very limited and required you to not have A/C to have the brake package, yes it's ridiculous that you either had A/C or an upgraded brake system but not both.

I found a real LT4 intake manifold at the Hiram-Clarke LKQ for $19. The best part is that it was just sitting in the back of some other car. I didn't have to do any work. Sold it for over $400.

I had a 69 chevy C10 short bed I was building years ago and while pulling some goodies from another C10 at the Ontario CA pap (before lkq bought em all) I found $97 cash folded up under the passenger carpet. Paid for all my parts and lunch. I'd say a good 60% of my CB7 is from lkq.

Jarrett keep the eyes peeled for a T-Ram intake for the TPI model Firehawk, if any of you guys ever find one consider yourself a jackpot winner since you can easily bring in over 3 grand for it.

I grabbed a set of sprint blues and basically brand new KYB GR2's from a junkyard for $60. Sold the springs 10 years later for $400 or $500.

all kinds of stuff. multiple h22 swaps, multiple sets of full coilovers, exhausts, header, fogs, flushmounts, wheels, all kinds of stuff. found complete j30a5 swap from 06 accord 6 speed, beretta indy/gtu front lips, spoilers, ls engines, 243 heads, complete k24a2 swap in a tsx etc.

speaking of LS engines,the pick and pull im getting my h22 from has about 13 5.3s,3 6.0s,and a few 4.8s for 150 a piece,complete engines as well..thinking about picking up the 6.0s and a few 5.3s while im there as well so I can fund my Honda xD I never in my life thought I'd sell Chevy parts to rebuild a 91 Honda accord..

My best junkyard find was the whole car. Bought it off a friend for €75, scrap price. Running, driving, barely any rust and the interior was like new!

VIS Racing Xtreme carbon fiber hood for the CB7, got it for like 40 bucks after taxes lol.
