if you think it will help you move the items.
Speaking of Eagle Premiers, in the 1990s, I used to hit the various pick a
part yards in Houston and there were dozens of them for some reason.

I always thought they were rather stylish, especially the interiors, for
their time and would not look out of place in 2005 body wise. Most were
rather loaded. I only saw one or two Medallions all that time, most were
Premiers, not sure how many were sold of each. And I usually pried the big
Eagle head emblmes off them, as no one was taking much of anything off them,
they all seemed to sit there complete until pick a part judgement day. If I
recall, it also seems that most of them had rolled 100K, so not sure if they
would get to 100K and OD; however, the pick a parts now are filled with so
many 1990s vehicles they have a special "new" section for vehicles from 2005
back to 1995! Toyotas, many BMWs (Break My Window) lots of Nissans, Isuzu,
Geos, Saturns, Hondas, many from GM, Ford and Mopar; and a smattering of
Volvos and Saabs. Sad to see I guess we are such a disposable society;
except old car lovers were hip to recycle, with old cars, before it became
fashionable.
Still, you see many of those modern cars and wonder "what happened" to them
(unless hit hard) and wish that some of them could be yaked, fixed, and
given to many of these people at the dome on in the Houston area from
Katrina. Sure wished Oprah would have given 16,000 Pontiac Vibes or G6's
when she was here yesterday!

Problem with that we chances are we would see a influx of Pontiac G-6s in
pick a part in a few years :~P Still good to see her giving inspiration to
those folks.
Joe, good job on past junkyard reports, always enjoy those; Tom thansk for
the heads up on the 66 shocks, I forwarded your reply to those who were
looking.
