This yard sells alot of demo derby cars, they save all the good c-body cars, including all the other brands of big cars. Some of what they wreck makes me sick, they travel all over the country to find rust free ones, then sell them. The other cars pictured are not for derby, they are for parts.

Here are some more cool pics :toothy10:

Need a hearse? These are all stuffed with Imperial parts they remove from cars that they sell for demo derby, atleast some good parts survive.

And now, this is the car I went there for!! LOL :toothy10: 1973 Fury wagon, almost complete, look at those seats! I scored a bunch of stuff from this car, I got the side trim from all 4 doors and the rear quarters, a tail light lens, some rubber parts, clips, rear seat chrome latch, and a very nice and hard to find dome light (same as E-body and spendy) and some plastic parts for the rear window that go in the tracks and guide the glass. I needed one real bad, someone pulled the rear window already so they were an easy snatch! I also found a vent cable that I needed and dreaded pulling one out, I looked in a 72 Fury and there was one, just lying on the floor!! Didn't need to pull it so I was excited!! :toothy10: Tally, scored everything for $50:cheers: Good day today and tommorrow, I will be picking up a 1968 Charger :toothy10:

If they travel the whole country for rust free cars. There is a 73 toronado in texas they might interested in.
 
I miss going to junkyards, used to skip school in the 80s looking for mopar parts, good times.
 
AWESOME!!! I have'nt seen a cool junkyard like that in over 30 years... All the old yards around here crushed out long ago...
 
man you got me excited need the wheel trim of that 65 cuda and maybe other parts...but Minn is a long way from Md. Maybe one of those rear ends to modify for the track........so I am jealous!
