Location: sunny Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA | Hi everyone! just back from a weekend yarding trip to southern nm to check on what I thought was a 58 DeS wagon to buy in a private yard here. Turned out it was a 57 Plym Cust Sub wag that was sold before I got there to a guy in New Zealand....hmmm. But anyway this nice fellow has about 1800 cars about 95% pre '72. He's only open on Sundays as he takes care of the yard for the widow who owns it. Off the top of my head, excluding the 57 wagon, hmm let's see he's got some interesting parts cars such as
60 Chry 2 dr ht
62 Chry 2 dr ht
61 Chry sed
61 Seneca sed
57 Plaza sed
56 Belvy 2 dr ht
56 Firedome sed.
56 Dodge sed
2- 55 New Yorker sed's
56 Chry 2 dr ht
60 Plym 4 dr ht
59 Custom Royal 4 dr ht
62 Dodge Dart midsize sed
quite a few early Lancer/Valiant sed/wag's
62-64 Plym's
63-64 Chry's
61 Plymouth
some early pre-Exner mopars
to name a few......
This nice fellow is really reasonable, as I was checking prices on Parts for my 65 Marauder, and he will sell whole cars. I don't know how long he was going to stay in business..I hope for the long run, as he is a really kind and personable man....If anyone needs more info, contact me.
moparand fomoco....c-c-c-an't we all j-j-just g-g-get along!!!!!!!!!!

Location: sunny Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA | HI guys
Alum, I dont remember any 58 Plym fenders, but thats not to say he doesn't have them. As for the Custom Royal, Mike...the car is pretty solid considering its age and its probably a good project for a couple of Wisconsinites! Guys, email me for more info....

Location: The not-so-great, dirty-white North ( Michigan) | Bill...Do you know if any of those 56 Chryslers or Dodges had a Torqueflite in them?
I am looking for a 56 pushbutton assembly and bezel.
That is, if they are parting cars. |

Location: sunny Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA | DeSotohead, to be honest I dont remember what tranny's they had in them..I do remember the 56 DeSoto had the rear mount air cond in the trunk, but it looked like it was missing some pcs. It had the scoops that came out of the package tray...but the funny thing for a southern NM car, the trunk floor was rotted away, so I think the car was from outta the area originally, possibly from the big military bases there. But plenty of good parts tho. The 56 Dodge and Chry. HT looked pretty complete...There was more cars, but I couldnt remember all of them... |
