    I was out doing some customer calls a few weeks back and drove past this yard that had hundreds of ol rides in it. It has everything from the 30's right up to the 70's. Not sure what kind of prices he has but they sure have one hell of a selection!!

    Caveat emptor.
    Just an opinion here, not trying to shoot anybody down but....
    watch out if/when dealing with that guy. I have had to deal with him a couple times over the years and he was ...well, a total jackass to say the least. I know of several others that avoid him like the plague. Long story short...his rep ain't too good among some o'the locals.
    I hate to post a negative...but i'm just watchin' out for my fellow hambers, ya know.

    Yep,
    MANY amazing cars... hoarded in the name of driving up market prices.:(
    I have watched those yards grow since I was a kid.

    Hate to burst your bubble, Tetanus...that "pink 32 3-window" is not a Ford...looks like a '33 5-window Mopar to me.

    I've had some interactions with him from time to time. Most of those cars came from the U.S. They used to do work all over the Northern States and bring back cars on their empty trailers. Origionally, they would splice the top part of a convert to a more solid sedan body and then build it for a customer or sell as a turn-key. He rarely sells parts or bodies unless he needs cash to meet a payroll or whatever. He has to be in the right mood at the right time. They have done some nice work at times. They built a swoopy 40 Ford convertable out of a thrashed coupe including making the doors and quarter panels.

  9. I'm impressed that they build folding top assemblies for 55-57 Chevrolets.
