Wow, great find! Wish I could find a place like that. Every new place that I find, I go in and look around, ask prices and such and they are always significantly high, almost approaching the same price as a new part
Doesn't help that I'm way out in the middle of no where too so these yards think they have the market cornered or something.
My best haul so far, gave a guy $20 to haul his 7 away. He had bought two and fixed one up by taking parts off of this one. The parts left were well worth over the $20 that I paid.

well, I went to two yards that day. The first one had a 2nd gen that had been smashed in the rear. It had a perfect engine bay and I was going to get the alternator out of it. I asked them how much and she said $35. I just looked at her and said, "I'll be on my way". She was probably in her 40s but looked much older. She didn't have any upper teeth and smoked way too much. It was like 20 minutes later that I found the other yard.

I went to my fave boneyard in Fremont today and ythere was exactly ONE 79 there! Argh! Now I gotta find a new spot. Too bad: it was an easy and pleasant drive. I did get a rightside headlight assy for $25.
