Default Check out my junk yard find!

I went out in the heat today dragging my tools behind me and I saw these in the Camaro section. I know guys selll them for $85 -125 each so I picked them up. Unfortunatly they have some cracks and a couple of the ribs broke off while I was washing them. They were the best of the two pair I found. But still I think some one may want them. What do you guys think I could get for these on ebay? Scottd? Microkid? Scottd? z28Pete? Scottd?
Oops I forgot the pic. My bad.

You rotten rat bastage! But let me ask you this..........are they off a Z28 or a Berlinetta? They look like a Berlinetta, in which case they WILL NOT work on a Z28...they are so close it kills me. I made the same mistake last weekend after I trekked 2 hours out to a junkyard, paid $8 a side and got them home and realized they dont fit. DOH![:@]

Mike, I gotta tell ya that I really appreceiate you looking out for me. Its nice to know that in this day and age people actually go out of their way for other peoplethat they hardley know.....If you are ever in upstate NY Ill buy you a beer.

Seriously, thanks.

You know Scott I stood there and stared for a long time then said WTF and grabbed them. They are out of a Bellinetta. FUDGE! I could not recall if they were the same or not. Oh well. sorry for the tease. I am not laughing much now.

They are the grills that go in the left and right side of the front plate. 82-84 Z28 Camaros' had them.

Hey Mike, thanks again. Maybe you can recoup your loss on ebay. []

For those of you asking what they are, they are grill inserts for a 82-84 Berlinetta. I have been searching (to NO AVAIL) for these inserts for a 82 Z28 for about 6 months now and can only find em new for 90 bucks a pop. Anybody gots a set, Ill pay ya for em!

Refresh my memory Scott. These are bigger than the Z28 grilles right? They had no 82-84 Z28s out there and all the later ones with the big grille were missing the lower spoilers. People must really tear thiers up.

I think the Z28 models are perfectly square, about 5x7.(I think Ive never actualllyseen one!) The Berlinetta has that one rounded corner that throws the dimensions off enough so it wont fit.

$85 to $125? I picked up a set of those with the full front bumper and lip for $20 at a pick-a-part a couple of months ago. It all came off a 84 z28. At the time I thought I could use the bumper for my 91 rs. Now it's all sitting in my car port collecting dust.
