That's good to hear. I hadn't seen the old man in probably 10 years and just figured he either p***ed away or sold the place. It's great to know he's still around. When I dealt with him he seemed to be a really cool old guy.
I bought a rust free 40 Tudor Body out of a wrecking yard in Wymore Nebraska. Guy has about a full section of land stuffed with cars from 30's on up. We were allowed to roam the yard, and there are a ton of mid 40's on up. Dont remember the name of the yard, but it was south of town a couple of miles, out in the country.
I was up there on Feb 19th, again. Hoped to pick up an instrument panel for the '64 Merc, and I know he's got a 4-door sitting out there. wasted trip. they have snow drifts over 10ft deep in places. Couldn't even find the car, and I know approx where it was in the yard. ****in' thing was completely buried by snow.
meyers auto parts ... they have alot of old stuff, it just depends on if they feel like selling it to ya
I bought a 54 Pontiac center grille section for 100 bucks. My buddy bought a 59 Chevy CONVERTIBE for $450. No front clip and the rear quarters were torched off, but all the convertible hardware was in exellent shape. Yes, he`s gonna restoe it.
the lot outside wymore, nebraska is called watts. louis watts is the owner. his nephew has a large yard about 5 miles south of him. john's muscle cars. john watts is the owner. i'm going to both places in the morning. great stuff, and they are great to deal with.
I believe what you are looking for is Denny Gillett's place. Just a little south of hwy 34 in Malvern Ia. He has a few acres of nothing but Pontiacs and Olds. Bought my old 61 Pontiac Safari wagon from him a few years back. Great guy. This is the # I have for him. 712-624-8355 Good luck. Gary
