Theres two in the Chicago Heights.

There are a few big ones up north, but I dont remem. the names, I'm sure someone will chime in.

Niether is worth much for anything thirdgen related.

Nick, Tye and myself tried, was fun looking at stuff, but didnt find anything worthwhile.

dimmits IS awesome. they used to have a really cool older section on the far side of the road. there's another good yard out that way called hundt's. they're pretty reasonable... looking farther west, you're just a little way down the road from wild bill's. i have no idea what they have, b/c they have kinda difficult hours... there's nummies'. (you can look up the addresses in the phone book, i'm not sure what towns some of these are in, as some of the city limits in lake co. confuse me...) archie's in south haven. metro & l & w in valparaiso, paul's in westville (one of my favorites, the people are ok and they're open sunday) there's a pauls in gary, too IIRC... there are yards everywhere...

There is one in Chicago I was at a week ago that had two 5 speed 350 TPI Formulas and one loaded with digital dash Trans Am sittin' there. There were also two or three Camaros. None of the cars were touvhed yet except for maybe wheels. It's on 9600 S. Torrence. Can't think of the name for the life of me though. Might be Torrence Auto Wreckers.

Hmmm....don't say Chicago? It is in Chicago so I have no idea what other way to put it. Don't understand why thats so hard to get?

Just did a search and their exact address is:
Torrence Auto Wreckers
9601 S. Torrence Ave.
CHICAGO (!), Illinois 60617
773-978-2160

The T/A with the digital dash is white and I believe the two Formulas are both black. One had around 60,000 on if I'm not mistaken. Better call first to see if they are still all there as far as what you guys are looking for. I seem to remeber one of the Camaros as being blue with grey interior and possibly a TBI car.


This is not a Pick and Pull. You have to tell them what you need and they usually just take you to the car and let you have at it.

Try going to MapQuest.Com: Maps, Directions and More and click on directions.

Wherever you are coming from, take the Bishop Ford Expressway and exit Stoney Island Avenue. Turn right (east) on 95th St. Take a right (south) on Colfax to 96th St. Left (east) on 96th and you will drive right into it.
