I was there over the Christmas weekend. LOTS of A body parts. I saw a few 68-70 B bodies, a few post-71 Chargers... I even saw TWO 75 Road Runners! There were a few Dusters, a Demon, a couple of Aspen/Volare cars... What do you need? It IS kinda cool to be able to walk through their yard and see all sorts of classics from every make.

Hm...

Shame I live half an hour away and never heard of the place. Although, after looking at their inventory, I could use a couple of things they have

Is it the type of yard where you get to go pull your part, or is it the kind of place that charges an outrageous premium to have someone go tear the piece to shreds to remove it because they don't understand how rare/valuable it is?

last time I was there they wouldnt let anyone walk the yard. the prices are outrageous and change from one day to the next, not downward either.
Most locals I know will not buy there.

if you need something Pat check with the rest of us locally first

More along the lines of small stuff on late 70's Ramchargers/Pickups, Jim. Not really stuff in commodity around here. Thanks though, I might just give them a call and see

I've walked the yard. They do all the pulling for you and you might have to make sure they aren't going to destroy anything. The prices are also negotiable. I made them an offer on a part and they accepted it even though they quoted me a higher amount over the phone.
