I was wondering if there are any salvage yards with vintage tin around Dallas? 1900-1950s car/trucks.
Have you heard of that yard in Sanger Tx.I think its called AAA auto ranch ,they have one or two of almost everthing from 1920-1980,but there prices are higher than giraffe _ _ _ _ _.Good luck anyway!
Thank! we were just looking for a place to check out. Cause my friend is looking for a 1926-30 coupe for his son and that has not been easy. I am just looking for ?. Thanks again!
In the last few years they have cleared out a lot of salvage yards that were around here. Im in the area if Ill try to check and see what I can find thats still open. You might ask Dirty31 he is from this area and is proably more knowledgable on this type of subject
I know one thing there aint know coupe in any wrecking yards around here. Last year at Pate swap meet there was a guy with a chopped 31 coupe with a frame all set up no motor though for 2500.00 still kicking myself in the but for not buying it. He was from Ft. Worth. I know where another one is but the guy wont get rid of it. I go by there periodically to beg him. I will keep my eyes open for you. I know where a Sedan is
The Chickasha spring vintage swap meet is coming up, March I think. I bet you could find one there. There is also a vintage yard out by Denton with tons of post war stuff. I heard they were outragously high priced though. 600 acres and you can browse. A friend here in town has a very nice restored 31 coupe in his garage that the owner wants 13,500 for.
What are you looking for? I have several old cae projects and I buy and sell all the rime. So I never know what I'm going to run across. I'm up in the panhandle, Lubbock Tx. Also I know where lots of stuff is if you have a wish list. Keith
Try going out Jackboro hwy (199) off north 820 also down in the woods of Mansfield also supposed to be a couple old places around Athens A guy at the harley shop in Arizona told me about
ctc auto ranch is the place up here in sanger, but there's no 20's-30's stuff. a couple old cabs, mabye. mostly 50's and later. beware though, they quoted me 1700 for a 53 plymouth, and when i went to pick it up, he decided he wanted 2500. it's cool to look around in, but bring your visa card, and your master card, and discover....
county line classics just got a bunch of new stuff I havent gone out to see what yet I hear it was mostly late 50's though.
I inherited my grandmothers 69 Dart Swinger (225). Unfortunately, it was a florida car and has it's fair share of rust. Does anyone have a sugesstion as to where I could find a good floor pan for my Dart? The floor pans I've found from YearOne etc don't really cover a large enough area for me. I'm thinking a full floor pan may be a the way to go... Are there any good salvage yards in the Dallas/Fort Worth area with decent a-bodys lying around? Thanks for your suggestions! Bill
