Salvage yards in NJ area
Anyone know of any salvage yards in the North/central NJ area that still have classic cars (not necessarily Pontiac, but that would be nice
 ? Most near me have closed in recent years (GI in Pine Brook, Roxbury in Wharton, etc.). The only one I know of is Absolute in Middlesex and their prices are thru the roof

Not likely
Ever since back when Whitman came through with all her EPA BS the real yards where fading away.
Texas Road in the Morganville area was one of the best locations with several great yards. I have not been there in over 25 years. Back in the days of being able to pull your own parts at your own risk! By the '90s it was over for me in that area, saved a lot of good Pontiac's.

Allamuchy is all late model. Jeff is right, Whitman ruined it for the NJ salvage yards. I have combed the North Jersey ones years ago for parts and there is nothing old left. If you find it you are paying top dollar for rust.
I have been to a couple in PA that have some old stuff and still let you walk around but there too you deal with a lot of rust. I would suggest finding a good 4 door for a parts car, saves you a lot $$ in the long run. Gary |

Allamuchy (Old B&J) believe is merged with Roxbury.
Columbia Too is the only one and they are crushing out. Mostly older Caddys. The T/A's have been long picked by yours truely. |

Where is allamuchy and columbia locations? Also when you said merged with Roxbury are they still on Dewey Ave. or in Allamucyh?
The best one about 15 yrs. ago was GI in Pine Brook, I remember around 2000 or so there were actually several 68 Lemans and a 69 skylark all in the same row. The lemans actually had 2 front bumpers and grilles sitting on the ground in front of it. Also lots of 80's regals and cutlasses which share a lot of parts with the GTO's. Roxbury had a dedicated old-car section which was always changing. I believe they are still open but not a walk-in yard any more. The best one near me is prob. Absolute, they still have an old car section, but who wants to pay $45-$50 for a single used wheel/tire? |

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
