    Was able to do some poking around this Holiday season in Casa Grande, AZ
    They had a fire in the office/storage complex about a month ago and lost a fair amount of inventory. What a sad deal! I expect they will need some new facilities to work and it does not look like much has been salvaged yet.
    On the bright side, there is so much there! I took few photos this year.

    Gah, look at how non-greasy ("greezy" for those of you in Jersey) they are, too. Crazy to think there are four Buick 215s sitting in the same pickup bed.

    Bummer about the fire. I've seen a few of their eBay listings over the years and always wanted to road trip there with an empty box truck some day...

    I’ve bought quite a bit of stuff from them on past trips to the auctions in January. Too bad about the fire. Hope no one was hurt, and they recover quickly.

    Possibly why I couldn't get a straight answer to my questions when trying to buy parts from them. HRP

    I got a F1 steering box and olds diff from there back in the heat of summer this year.
    I recognize that spot. Shame this happened, I hadn't heard. The staff were great when I visited, hope all are okay and they are able to get back to as before or better.

    The fire was at their Casa Grande site. Screenshot (1828).png

    I went to the Casa Grande location this week, was visiting from Canada. Main Building is burned and untouched and they are operating out of a trailer next to it. Business as usual though it seems, had some fun strolling through the old Mopar stuff. Got some taillights off a 53 Windsor Convertible for my NYPD project.
