A few Oakland/San Jose Area junkyard steals I saw and yards with little stock

I saw a full set (4) of hydras at the Oakland junkyard if anyone wants to pick them up. One of them had fairly bad road rash, and none had good tires. Last row by the fence, split up onto two different cars. Two still mounted, most had center caps. I considered picking one up as a spare instead of the cracked one I've been holding onto in hopes of TIGing it back together.

The oakland yard, by the way, has mostly picked over cars, especially in the engine department. There are a couple nice looking 240's 84 and 85 I think, that might have nice interior parts, but they do have crumbling harnesses.
There is a 444 or 544 cream colored shell in Oakland and I believe in the Richmond yard as well. I didn't check them to see if they had engines in them.

San Jose North has only about 4 volvos total, I would avoid it for a week or two unless you know of something specific.

There was a 144 with a very nice interior - missing its the dash. It had dark brown leather door panels and trim, an intact headliner, and what looked like an intact (glass) moon roof. (oakland)

There were a few 760 turbos that had glass lens headlights in good shape. (also oakland)
