today i went to a few junkyards and i almost cried when i saw a piles of 240s. i would kick anyone's *** that wrecked into my baby, including old ladies and grandpa's. even my own *** would get kicked if i was stupid enough to lose it. i guess it is one thing i like about the 240s, i dont see them all over the place like mustangs or eclipes.

You should consider yourself lucky, theres like 1 240 at the junkyard here, and its been completely stripped out, so worthless basicly

The one pick n pull junkyard here that had a 240 became one of those one where you just ask if they have the part and they pull it for you, it sucks big time. That junkyard was actually a good one untill they made it full service, not self serve.

indeed, harder to take the random small stuff needed for the parts too

and no fun waiting on them instead of looking at all the neat stuff in the junkyards, it's so much fun yet depressing too

The junkyards in TN have alot of nissan's. I went to this one to find a dust cap for the 210 Wagon and seen lot of 510's, few Datsun trucks, few 210's, etc.

I've seen a few 240s in junkyards here in SC. Mark(Bandit240) got to exploring in junkyard here and called me up and said he found 810 wagon, tons of sentras (one of them had the 50th anniversary emblem on the grill). Most of what he found was way back in the woods where you most likely not go. I like going with him to junkyards and just look around and see what you find b/c there's always something you look over but find on another trip back. :)

No but I could find out from my grandmother. It was over by Symrna(sp?) where she lives. The one up here was over at Ravenel's.

I'll find out and let you know the name. :)

I went to my local junk yard a little while ago, and there was at least 6-7 S13's and lots of Z31's.

I searched for about 6-7 months before I got my S14. I know all about waiting.

There are a few wrecked 240's around here in the yards, mostly s13's of course. The one that has a s14 identical to mine, well they are a$$ holes, but it is a self-serve place, so I might try to get on good terms with them again if I need anything. But its impossible to find one for sale. There is a '95 SE for sale right now up the road and has been for months. I can't believe someone hasn't bought it. Its red, auto, leather, some ghetto chromes. It looks in good shape.
