it still is a u-pull it. you walk in through the office then out into the yards. although 99% of their cars are gone. its mostly an empty field, with only a tiny handful of cars left. they have one lot with newer cars, maybe a football field sized. hardly anything worthwhile, and not like it used to be 8yrs ago.

Are you talking about the "Pod" radio that sat on the flat console instead of the console turning up into the dash?
That would have been a Berlinetta trim. Only available until 86 or 87, those radios go for a good penny in working order, especially if you have the amp to go with it. Berlinetta's also had a unique gauge and control set available most year, 15 inch alloy "turbine" wheels, and the usual badging package that come in any special trim.

Yup, that is a Berlinetta. Very rare in this part of the country. The largest percentage of the units produced sold in Cali and the south west. The specialty pieces were just way to expensive, so GM dropped it.
A friend of mine had an 86 Berlinetta, hardtop, auto, LG4 when we were in high school. Finding parts for it was a bitch and getting the radio and amp repaired cost a fortune.

I think one was cruise control on/off(actual cruise controls are on steering wheel), one was rear defrost, one thing for power mirrors, and I forget what else. The whole controls system those cars used was funky.

I went past GI the other day and it looked dead. Last time I was there they had a decent 92 RS which had great GFX aside from the chin spoiler until they plopped it on the ground with no wheels or tires...idiots

fail.
not a shelby kit. only the rear bumper. the exhaust melted a huge hole in it and the interior is nasty as hell. and when i went the guy walked me to the car and stood with me like wtf. and they are now wayyy over priced. i paid like 15 bucks for a window motor for the firebird when i went and i go for durango parts and they want 45 bucks for damaged clear corners when i could get better looking brand new ones for 50! gi went down the ****ter. idk if its new owners or what....and roxbury auto now has no cars...they crushed them all!
