World's largest thirdgen part collection?

A lot of you have commented on the number of cars in my sig and last year I posted a group picture of five of them. A few people then commented I should show pictures of my parts collection as well. This year before my annual Memorial Day thirdgen party I took some pictures so I decided to post them for everybody to see. I've been told it may be the largest collection of thirdgen parts in the world. I don't know about that but it has to be close. Actually, I've added three parts cars since these pictures were taken so I've got even more now. One of these days I'll open my own thirdgen parts business but for now I'm just hoarding stuff away. Actually, I do sell quite a bit on eBay under the name "thirdgenranch". (A lot of you have probably bought stuff from me before and didn't know it). The pictures don't show everything I have but you get the idea. It's actually much better to see it in person.

Nice Collection o parts


Im looking for a cross bar that mounts to the bottom of radiator support. This bar connects the front GFX on T/A's and also provides a base for the plastic air dam that directs air to radiator.

Do you have the cross bar and air dam ?

That is a pretty sweet collection of parts.
Is that at your house or business location?

I've got a minuscule collection of parts in my garage, compared to yours.

Definately, I've been to both the buisness and the yard. Also in the shop the walls are lined with parts. THen in the back of the buisness there are shelves holding MORE parts.

Hehe, still wouldn't mind a BIG personal collection

Biggest problem is guy's prices are through the roof and if you want 3rd gen parts in alberta you aren't gunna find much elsewhere but there (he buys EVERYTHING)

Ok, this thread is turning into a classified section. Please take your "want ads" to PM's or the classified board.

LFN, sorry I have to close this thread now. I will not delete it, as you have posted some cool pics.
