Charlie & Steve Jorgenson are who own the cars(father & son). I've found Steve to be a little over high retail, and Charlie to be a lot over high retail. BTW, its a solid 5hr. drive from the twin cities.
Yike! You SAID it, Tim! That's not even your run-of-the-mill gold mine! It's freakin' El Dorado!!!! The Tiffany's of junkyards! Not only CONTENT like 25-30 years ago, but kept in great shape. I have rarely, if ever, seen such a neatly kept boneyard!
I WANT THE DODGE WRECKER ! Damn those are nice , But to far out of reach for me (mile wise) And if I could get all I wanted (It would be out of reach money wise) BEAUTIFUL YARD anyway !
the 2nd 55 poncho 2dr wagon i have ever seen rare i had one years ago wish i new another was this close..
Steve & Charles are good guys, if they have time they will take you on a tour (2 separate yards!) they have choice stuff but very pricey on their complete cars, decent tri-5 chevys between $5000-$9000, model-A coupes $5000-$7000. They dont rely on the cars for their income, they are big farmers. They have buildings full of loose parts for sale, buildings full of doors, hoods, fenders. Charles has a private collection that would blow your mind if he shows ya! Its worth the trip and you could easily spend a full day going through the cars & parts! Between Steve & Charles they have around 200 (yes I said 200!) vintage gas pumps & tons of old vintage gas station signs, oil cans, memorabilia! Here are a few pix I took last summer when I was there.
