I was interested in a chevy in the cl***ifieds but may have to wate...so soon ill be looking for a 200I6 and auto ****** for my falcon(1960) and was wondering if anyone knows a good place to look in Arkansas?
Over the holidays MAYBE I will let you in on my three fav yards.... Have your tried Darrell's in Greenbrier?? Is on Oak Hill Dr., going south out of "town" (HA HA) turn west.. He has a handful of older stuff left, that was not crushed couple of years back. Its always fun taking one of his yard cars out regardless....
I know where a few are.....................i am very north east louisiana.......about 18 miles from the state line...............how far north are you.......
I know of one uphere in Northwest Arkansas if you come up this way, actually its just over the Oklahoma line but he is a Ford guy and has a lot of Mustangs and Falcon stuff. He has always done me fair. Brad
Is that Barry Robinson you're talking about? really good guy and probably has what the OP is looking for.
I live in Arkansas but work in Louisiana. In the Monroe area, there isn't much in the way of good yards around here, that i'm aware of anyway. If you could turn me on to some, that would be rockin'.
I know of an old man and his two grown son's that own a small car lot in Jacksonville but they are also the founders of the Central Arkansas Falcon Club. Let me know if you want their info.
The hills are full of stuff. I'm surprised HAMBer BJHARRIS has not jumped into this tread. He knows where most of it is parked.
.....Monroe is only about 50minutes from my house ..................let me know exactly what you want and i can probaly dig it up...............
My thinking... If one is looking for a 200 (or 170) I6, I would rather find an old Maverick, older Galaxie, Comet, etc. to harvest it from. Probably gonna be alot less expensive than bopping into a Falcon/Mustang specializer who lives by selling to collectors.. My B-in-law has a couple of 170's in cars like above, we are in the process of swaping one into a 60 Falcon ourselves. Or maybe a 2.3 w/ a T5 out of a Ranger truck... Hmmmm... Few months back there was a pic in Hot Rod of the Mustang ranch in, I think Rosebud. Anyone know of this place??
