Elite Veteran Posts: 644 Location: Falcon, CO | Hey up north guys, is Speedway Auto still open? I just checked the aerial view on Google Earth, dated 9/12/19, the lot is full of cars and trucks, very neat and clean. Looks like someone has been taking care of the property since my last visit in July, 09. I picked up a 71 Satellite rolling shell from the owner. Also, Erie Auto Salvage seems to be open. | ||

Location: The Centennial State | Hi, Tony: I haven't been up there in awhile, so I don't know. If they are open, they are one of the few yards left in the Front Range who have forwardlook cars! | ||

Location: The Centennial State | Erie used to have some ForwardLook cars, but the last few times I have been there, they turn me away at the desk. "hey, do you have any 57 - 58 dodges or de sotos?" "nope." They probably just don't like the looks of me. | ||

Veteran Posts: 292 Location: Colorful Colorado skier on the license plate | Speedway was a great place for old Mopar part seekers. I still have a few engine oil coolers removed from junked police cars. I haven't been there for over a year now due to Covid, I was really discouraged the last time there. | ||

Location: The Centennial State | The ForwardLooks at Speedway were in the lower right-hand corner. In piles. It looked like most of them were shot over there by catapult from the main office. There are some neat rows in other areas, but not there. | ||

Location: The Centennial State | Maybe they started to clean things up?

Extreme Veteran Posts: 377 | Basically nope ain't got try ***** and still nope. I was told not much left of them years. Seems more and more yards are crushing, if they got anything left it is a miracle. I did go there back in '05 and man I was blown away with they had. | ||
