Junkyard in Berkeley/Bay Area

[Erik]

Hi, I live in Berkeley, California, and I've got an 88 240DL that could use
a few spare parts. A hubcap, a turn signal lens, an antenna, the list goes
on. Since there is an abundance of similar vintage Volvos around here, I
imagine that there must be a salvage yard nearby where I can find the parts
for cheap. Does anyone have a recommendation of a place nearby or in the
Bay Area where I might find what I'm looking for?
Thanks for the help,

A few spare parts......
Erik, I like to go to s place called Pick-your-Part at the end of Winton in
Hayward. There is an off ramp in on Hwy 17. Winton will parallel the Hayward
Airport.
There are usually a lot of 240's, 740's (between 7 and maybe 14) there and they
seem to change their stock of cars every other week. It cost $2. and bring your
tools.
There is a posted sign for what things cost but I find it varies on day and
cashier.
Try it you'll like it.

There are yards around, but the Volvos at least are getting very well
picked over.

Lots of the cosmetic stuff is hard to find in a self service yard. Try
the Volvo/Saab guys on Recycler road in Rancho Cordova (google Volvo saab
rancho cordova and it'll be one of the first few links).

The antenna, especially if it's power, is something you may as well buy
new. They're usually pretty cheap.

I still recommend swedishengineering.com for both new and used Volvo parts.
Their numbers/locations are listed on the website. Call the one closest to
you, and I'll bet they have everything you need at really good prices.
