Not only that but they were practically in your back yard!

Roll over hoop and windshield frame parts.

What were the odds of coming across an NOS ZR1 rear upper surround panel and luggage tub???

Yep, only about 30min from me. The parts had been sitting outside for over two years. I bought the rear bumper last May.

Got my 87 Blue/Blue donor car today. Perfect for all the interior trim and under hood small components. Even has the blue tint glass top and an unmolested dash. New capet kit and seat covers in the box. Radio and electronic heat/air work.

This is going to be fun!!

I have the original heat / air unit. I was just amazed that everything in the 87 car actually worked. Very happy about that. The 87 was a good find!
