Tonys57chevy · Moderator

ok spill it whats the story with this and its fenderwell headers

also the 54 in the yard nextdoor

Donutboy97 · Moderator-Monte Hunter Lead Investigator

Tony, the Pontiac we believe was a drag car. had all the tow hooks in the front, the interior was striped and just had the driver seat. There were a bunch of tropheys in the car, which I thought were car show tropheys... intil Dave noticed what was in the fenders lol. Couldn;t tell what was under the hood.

I know nothing on the 54, maybe Dave does.

Tonys57chevy · Moderator

was the pontiac for sale? i love old drag cars

Donutboy97 · Moderator-Monte Hunter Lead Investigator

not sure Tony, it was out of the "yard" closer to the main building. I'm sure for a price it could be for sale lol

this one should be captioned " Hey! there was no Coke in there!" LOL!

Tony, that Pontiac was not there the last time we went, and it was in the area, you DO NOT ask about! That yard is on the Indian Reservation. They get pretty weird sometimes.

But yeah it was a cool looking car, Maybe next time when I can chat with the one guy again, I'll ask.

as for the 54, We spotted it in the other yard when we walked in. No access to it so very hard to get any info.

Ron, we went to 3 yards, the one with the old stuff is in Sanborn about 30 minutes from my place, the other two were in Buffalo again about 30 minutes away.

Tim, I'm starting to think we live in the Junkyard capitol of NY! LOL!

Donutboy97 · Moderator-Monte Hunter Lead Investigator

you make it sound like it's a bad thing lol

You guys seem to have a great time at junk yards!!! I love seeing what you guys are up to...keep up the great pics & captions!!! Can't wait to see you guys in March! With any luck it will be warmer...at least warmer than 14!!! smile

Donutboy97 · Moderator-Monte Hunter Lead Investigator

ha ha thanks Karen... we can handel a lot, but snow while traveling is not good. Hopefully it will stop snowing!!!

mrs squizz · Moderator

What's wrong...don't like a little snow??? I can't say I blame you guys for liking to travel when it's snowing...no way too much can happen, so with any luck the snow will be done by the time you guys make your trip here in March!

twomanymontes · Moderator - Monte Hunter Lead Investigator

Hey, Snow is not a problem, just slows me down to the legal speed limit. Nothing stops the beast!!! Actually, I love driving in blizzards or Heavy rain storms . Ice storms are about the only thing that will keep me home.

Karen We'll be there in just about a month, Snow, rain sleet or whatever! nothing stops us. But I'm hoping we have a March weekend like last year, mid 50's and Sun!

1^st gen

*raises eyebrows*

Are my eyes deceiving me, or do I spot a 2nd gen MC (1976/1977?) right next to that 1st gen MC????

Great pics. Too bad we won't have time to check out a junkyard or 2 when I'm in NY in August.....

Nope Cort, I think that was a 75 Monte behind it, Not sure, but for some reason, thats what I remember.

Yeah too bad your not going to be here that long. I guess there are some yards in the Binghamton area that are decent. tim and I plan on heading to them in the Spring sometime

Donutboy97 · Moderator-Monte Hunter Lead Investigator

I think it's a 77, it has the stacked headlights (don;t know my 2nds gen well enough to know if that was the only year)

ronzo · Veteran Member

76 and 77 had stacked headlights

87 Monte LS · Senior Member

its a 76, I remember from last few times we went.

I have my list started as to what else i need to from LKQ and Ables

twomanymontes · Moderator - Monte Hunter Lead Investigator

Yeah it's a 76, I went back and looked at the old pics, it had the emblem in the grille. I don't know why I thought it was a 75. I think there was another one back there that was.

Doug, I started a list too, I need to grab that trim piece for Mike, and I might grab a few things off those 5th gens while I'm there.

87 Monte LS · Senior Member

I dont ever remember a 75 in there

what trim piece does mike need ?

I Just added a bunch more to my list as well,, got the new OPGI catalog yesterday , unbelievable at some of the prices on some of the restoration parts

Matty · Guru

I wish they had junkyards like that on the island very few left.

BINGO!

I KNEW it was a 1976 ... I could tell by the grill. Heh ... and ya'll doubted me? LOL!

Though ... admittedly, I thought it MIGHT be a '77 because I know people sometimes interchanged the grills between those years. BUT ... even from that pic I quoted, I had a hunch it was a 1976, given the grill. Yes, the '76 had the emblem in the grill and the '77 had the emblem as a hood ornament, but the actual grills were different between those years as well.....

:)

As for junkyards in Binghamton ... wish we had time..... That certainly would be an entertaining stop...lol!
