Bad Timing

So 2 days before Christmas this pops up in my alerts. I want to run there so bad but I don't have the time.

I know how it can feel, but for me it's mostly money, as I need a passenger fender and the bumper cover and those on that car would be perfect if the metal on the other side is just as good, and even on the salvage yard search sites any cars at yards here in wisconsin are a big gamble if there any good anymore

Shipping will be expensive. You would be looking at about $4-500 total for both pieces by FEDEX. Greyhound stopped parcel service back in October. You may be able to use Fastenall for shipping at a better price. From what I understand, they will allow piggyback shipping to local centers.

well there's an event in California I plan on going to in 2024 called Wasteland Weekend, so was thinking once I had confirmed I was going see if any one here or on the wasteland weekend groups would possibly be willing to pick up the parts and either meet me at the event or at California city near the event

That car is in Florida.

I know, and I don't have the money, and by the time I do the parts or the car will probably be gone, though there are people from Florida that go to wasteland weekend, there's enough people that they formed a group called the great 40 migration.

That is at the Daytona Beach location. Red guts, 350. Rotted tail gate. Will be going over soon to grab the rear end housing out of it.

Goldwolfnhn- The passenger fender has damage on the front of it directly above the marker light. The bumper cover is also cracked on that side at the bottom.

Let us know what gears it has, just for curiosity sake. Check the gate glass hinges too. The interior color is "ruby red ", same as 94-96. One year color for 93 cars.

In the photos I can see that one hinge is busted and a bolt is in it's place. If the gears are 3.23 they will come home with me as well.

I thought the interior color looked like an LT1 car. Now I know why, thanks.

If anyone is interested in looking at it.

Had not heard that. Extremely disappointing. Was convenient and cheap for me.

You might want to try Cleveland Power and Performance 1 866 236 5031 they were parting out a couple of clean 96 Impala SS I got a nice set of inner fenders from them . The cars were hit in the rear so the front sheet metal was not damaged ,good people to deal with and they ship

The issue is the price of shipping. Greyhound was about 1/3 of the price.

Shipping prices are off the rails insane right now.
