[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] stone, you in nc too? [/ QUOTE ] Yeah I'm in Johnston county. [/ QUOTE ] Hell, I'm real close to the Johnston County Line. If you want to email me about this and some other stuff feel free. Your probably the closest to me so far. And your probably a lot closer to this find than you ever thought.
Yeah, Richard's is great, a lot of variety, but he ain't cheap. That's up in the central part of the state. It is for sale, though. Anybody up for a career change?
I was in there in July, the owner gave me some flyers on the place, said he'd sell it if someone else wanted to get into this line of work.
Is that place half way between Raliegh an Apex? I think I've seen it on the way to the outer banks... cant see much from the road if I remember correctly... think I recognize the black full size in one of the pics. Kinda at a corner with a service station of sorts? I'll have to ride down an take a look an see if its the same place...
no, but if the place your talking about is the one I think, it's gone, auctioned everything off. I have a friend who got a '59 Fairlane for $40. complete..
Dang it... This woulda just been in the last couple months? I always miss out on the good stuff... so I better not check around or we'll prolly lose this one too! Either that or I'll have to beat my head against a wooden table somewhere to knock on wood...
do you remember the name or what road it was on? Cary and Apex but up against each other and Cary has been annexing like crazy. So you really don't have any open space between Raleigh and Apex anymore. There was also one over off of Tryon Rd. that is gone, it wasn't a salvage yard but someones personal stash, it disappeared and now theres a damn yuppie development there.
zman i need a 35 back truck cab any make! i'am 1 hour 15 minuets from you, let me know if you find one, i'll buy it from you
Cant recall exactly where it is... south side, maybe on one of the loops... I would have been riding through that side tomorrow had it not been for some traffic problems at the other end of the destination. Sigh. ... If I see it again I'll jot down the road... I dont have room for another project so I prolly wont stop
Zman, Stone... Who are you guys? I'm right outside Raleigh... I just saw this (busy doesn't begin to describe me these days...). Zman, if that guy's in Clayton, he's a couple miles from my house, and I'm glad he's finally selling some stuff. Steve
[ QUOTE ] Zman Who are you guys? I'm right outside Raleigh... Zman, if that guy's in Clayton, he's a couple miles from my house, and I'm glad he's finally selling some stuff. [/ QUOTE ] I live right outside Raleigh and Garner. Got a pretty decent size shop outback of my house (2500 sq. ft.). Just put a lift in about a month ago. Just picked up a plasma cutter over the weekend and a parts washer. Got a line on some other goodies. But i pretty much got everything I need now to finish up my '57 Buick and '59 Pick-up. If your ever free on the weekend drop me line and we can hook up. I've also finally got the heat working in the shop, just gotta fill the propane tank and I'll be good to go for the winter. If it's Delmar, yeah. He's anice guy but a little skittish about his stuff. he's starting to sell the stuff that's not Ford. But will actually talk about maybe selling some of that stuff. I've also been chasing down another lead on some A's and T's a little farther out near 4-oaks. I barely missed some stuff out the west side of Smithfield. I've also got a line on some stuff down in Harnett County. If you've ever tried to chase this stuff down you know only 1 in 40 ever turn out to be worth chasing down. But I guess I'm a glutton.
I hear ya! Yeah, I couldn't remember his name...it's a rip I'm flat broke...he had a Willys g***er several months back that showed a LOT of promise! I'll try hookin' up with you after Christmas, sometime...maybe we'll grab a burger at Grill '57. Steve
If your heading west on 64 away from night'n dale (dunno proper speelin...) The place I'm talking about is on the right hand side of the road about 5 miles from the edge of the town. Got a blue fendered pickup out front and cars ****terd everywhere. I didnt have a chance to stop in an see if anythings for sale... but its got an office, think its an Auto body shop of some sort. Its right beside a boat dealership if I remember correctly. That should putcha on the right track, it for sure is on 64 east!
That sounds like Rigsbee's, I believe that one belongs to Irvin, cool old guy. His brother has a salvage yard over on the other side of Apex from me. I used to buy race gas from Irvin when I was still roadracing m/c's. He's got a real sweet shop at his house. Still races stock cars at Wake County Speedway. "likes to whup up on the young uns" His words. IF it is indeed his yard, everything is for sale. He had some interesteing stuff in there the last time I was there. I probably need to go by since I haven't talked to him in a while.
I think that was the name... If it was a blue chevy fendered pickup... then thats the place Next time I'm ridin through I'll have to take a better look!
Heres another site I've been looking at... http://www.junkyarddog.com/cgi-bin/search.cgi?categories=AA&city=&state=North%20Carolina&zip_code=&phone_area_code=&keywords=&boolean=and
Just an update. Didn't make it out this past weekend, but am going out there this weekend. A friend of mine is going with me. He actually bought a '62 Biscayne from him and has a deal to buy a '62 Impala from him. So it should make things a little easier. Also over the weekend went to a X-mas party at one of my wifes relatives, seems he's related to my wifes side of the family in some way, all I remember is something about Grant and Eunice and the Harnett county Lee's and the Coats. I don't know but I'm gonna look into it a little more. Get me family discount.
