Man, thats like heaven on earth. Anyone know of a good yard like that in central Ca. (Modetso area)?

 

found this one in san marcos a few months ago. the place I got it from has a few other cars....

 

Cool !!!

 

looks like Im going to have to get the bike out and go junk yard exploring

 

TexRat, what brand is that??
chandler, do you want me to tell you where they are? Hwy 19 about a mile south of I-20, on the east side is a 1930 1 1/2 ton Chevy. A lot of good stuff on hwy 82 east of Sherman. Theres a guy with model As in Athens

 

Anyone been to Desert Valley? Pops wants to go there real bad, will it be a disappointment? If anyone knows of any good yards in the general vicinity of northern california/bay area it would be much appreciated if you let me know.

 

Yep..

 

32 chevy

 

Ooh! I want the Y-block out of the '56 in photo 8!

 

nearly all of them in east texas are here.Me my dad & brother have around 320 of em'.

 

Am I wrong or would the be a set of front fenders, running boards, and frame that I need for my new T?! Is for sale, or did you already grab it?

 

Any of you Texas guys spot any '61 Buicks in them yards? A friend of mine needs a right front fender, bumper, grille, hood, headlight trim, and maybe core support. His brakes went out and he hit the side of the store he was stopping at, the wall didn't give!

 

i know basically where you are talking about in Sherman

 

Deal Auto wreaking, one of the guys who works there is connected to that chrysler airflow bonneville car and to the mopar streamliner.

He posted at 7:48, I called at 9, and was at his house at 8 the next morning.

You are probably too late. I got everything except the T. You want a T frame/ I have lots of them and running boards

 

I figured you guys didnt want this junk because it was still there when I got there and I had to drive for 2 1/2 hours.

 

Every time I go by there the gate is shut so I never bothered to stop. Not far away on 64 is another old guy who has several parked out by the road for sale. No prewar stuff as a rule, but occasionally something cool like a gl***top 54 or something. He is usually overpriced though.

 

Damn it Bruce, don't tell everyone!


Good scores bro.

 

I have been trying to get out to this privet yard for some time. The guy tells me he has over 600 cars starting from '35 to '80 he is going to let me take a camera with me so i can post pixs for yall. If it don't rain tomorrow i mite be able to get out there. i will keep ya'll posted.

 

TxRat, I've been eyeballing that green pick-em-up for the past 2 years!

Sitting right next to the highway on 123...I was very tempted to stop in & "ask", but I figured I'd get the typical answer... "You wanna do WHAT with it?"

 

The lady was a little ecentric but very cool all the same...

 

TxRat... what else does she have in the yard? Anymore 30's stuff?

 

I saw a mess of cadillacs in there. any chance you have some stainless or chrome in good shape off a 53. Some hub caps would be nice as well.

 

I know a guy out here that has the same type collection everything from 30's to late 80's. You really cant see the fornt of his house because of all the chevyies parked out front. I guess the back of his house is way worse, just lines with cars and parked anyway they could to just fit them in there. Course the old guy is never home when I go over.

Texas is full of old cars and trucks. I just picked this one up in Belton. Needs quite a bit of work, but well worth it

 

Wow. This thread got dug up 8 years after it died.
