Jezz I just learned of this yard last weekend to.Damn it!
was told the newest stuff he had was maybe mid 50's and usually anything but ford,typically stude,mopar,and some chev?

Quess ill have to try to take a few days off and make it up there!

 

What days of the week is the place open?

 

Are they the kind of outfit that will ship stuff or is it a "cranky old fart with a shotgun" type of place where they are a low service type of place? Could you pick up some requested items if they have it???

 

theyre open thursdays - saturday from 8 to 5.

i don t know if theyd ship anything. you have to give em a call and see what theyd say.

 

yeah, just called - the message said 9-5 thur-sat.

 

Is that the one west of town overlooking the freeway kinda on a hill?

If so they were/are good bunch folks.Been long time since I was in that
neck of the woods.I worked at Barger-Mattson for about 6 years in the
70's.

 

yeah, theyre right off the freeway.

 

We'll miss those folks ... ran a wrecking yard and raised beef on the same land, so when you were out pulling parts, you had to watch where you stepped ... Les always had time to talk to his customers & the numerous outbuildings were full of surprises ... came very close to getting married there.

Thanks for the heads up.

 

For gosh sakes someone get photos of it all and post a few! any 59/60 chevys in there? cdan

 

Damn! That's like losin' both legs and an arm. Bought a lot of stuff over the years from Les and Donny. Gonna miss them.

 

Bttt, and trying to figure a way from spokane and back, any pics??? would like to go with a friend and "buy" as much as possible to save from the scrappers!!!!

 

im goin there tommrow (thursday) so ill get a whole bunch of pictures.

 

About 9 years ago I sent them 50 bucks for a front end piece for my 59 chevy, still waiting for it, called several times then just chalked up the loss. If you see them tell em its not to late to send the passenger side front valance panel that goes under the bumper.

 

okay, i didnt make it out there today, but im definantly gonna go out there tommorow, and i WILL get pics!
