Default junk yards

I guess it would depend on where you're located. I've gone to a few pick-a-part locations here around where I live (nw of Indianapolis) and I've only seen a handful of 4th gen camaros, even fewer early 4th gens. The places around here mark the fenders with arrival dates of being on the yard and the ones I saw were stripped within 2 days. I'd be lucky to find something useful around here from a yard, but again I think location is a key factor.

Same here, We have a huge you pull it lot and it just has shells heck even some of the shells are cut up. There are guys there just waiting for part that will sell on ebay. Your best bet is to watch for guys parting out their cars on craigs list. I see a few a month doing it.

Yea now if I needed anything specific I wouldn't bother with a pick-a-part, I've been looking on Craigs List when bored and I've seen numerous camaros in my area being parted out. The best thing is that almost all of them are 4th gen, also try forums like these and look in the parts for sale or post a parts wanted. There are always guys parting out their vehicles.

**edit**

Are you just trying to find parts cheaper by buying them used like this, or are you just generally trying to find things? I've got quite a few online vendors and sites bookmarked that I've found just from scouring the net at night, they tend to have some good deals and you can find almost anything you're looking for mostly.
