I was in California in 2016 and visited the Interstate VW junkyard in Lake Elsinore.
The junkyard has vintage VW cars and parts for Beetle, T2 Bus, Karmann Ghia and Type 3 for sale. It is located at Interstate Used Parts & Auto Sales, 18181 Collier Ave, Lake Elsinore, CA 92530, USA.
It is one of the last VW only wrecking yards in California. The owner is long in business and knows the prices of the old parts, so do not expect to get the parts cheap.
Anyway, it is amazing to see a VW junkyard like this in the deserts of California.
The Interstate junkyard is about 65 miles from Los Angeles and you can see most in about 30-60 minutes. A good route is from Los Angeles to Interstate VW to Joshua Tree NP for sunset.
Below about 50 pictures of the VW Interstate junk yard in Lake Elsinore California taken on 2016-06-10.
Hello! I’m looking for the roof for a VW Beetle. But I’m looking for a oval window or split window, it can be a rag top or full roof top. Hope you can have it in your inventory and how much is the cost for it.
Hi I own a 1970 VW Bus with the safare top the roof line is rusty and I’m doing a roof transfer but I need the right side upper door jam from the top of windshield to the Pillar behind passenger door. Was wondering if you have donor parts for that area
I'm looking for Vw Kombi T2 Sleeper Roof. I see in your blog posts many pictures of these tall camper type roofs and i'm also interested in full roof length pop up roofs too.
I am looking for the sheet metal sunroof for a 1965 beetle I just acquired. The original owner did not install the top correctly and he said it came off on the highway and was subsequently crushed by another automobile. Even if you could point me in the right direction that would be great.
Hello,
I’m looking for an Oval Split just for the love of the look not to drive a show car but to drive a car that I have always loved. Do you have any affordable ones at your yard ? I’m an average Joe looking to put together my favorite car ever with my son without all the money and know how as most enthusiast so interested in what you have ?
I have a 69 with sentimental value, now I want my dream car.
diane, thank you very much for getting back to me about the late model vanagon spindles. if i need any more vanagon paRKS I WILL BE SURE TO CALL YOU FIRST. THANKS AGAIN, JIM
By any chance do you have a body of a split window VW van that is fairly good condition? Not too much rust. I don't care for the tires I needed as a model so I can make a exact replica but bigger and wider that the original.
