    Scammers!

    Never got involved with fb. Have a friend who is listing some stuff, for me, to include building materials and such, beyond the car parts. However, nothing is selling. The typical responses are - 1) A flurry of responses, with out of area phone codes all asking if it is available. 2) A few...

    1971 Dodge Dart Rancho Cordova, CA. Pick-N-Pull (Not Mine)

    "cash for clunkers" (CFC) was an Obama program if recalled. Remember the nineties SUV's put out at the then new Albuquerque pick a part then. They had put something down the intakes of engines (ruining them) and then spraying the engines with spray paint. A lot of good TBI and early SEFI...

    Sure do miss Good ole SUPER SHOPS. ---- Every Bowtie part you could ever want!

    Vaguely remember the one on Dyer St, in northeast El Paso. Kid behind counter couldn't find a simple Chev intake gasket. Was probably a relative of someone who worked there for years. Closed soon after, 1996 or 97 possibly.

    64 Valiant Denver U Pull It yard

    Good to know. Years ago, I passed on the chance to buy a complete '65 Valiant two door post, as it came in, at the El Paso pick a part. Just too far away from buyers. Still have a few early A parts left. NO headlight bezels or gas caps though.

    Steve Magnante has been MIA for awhile....here is why:

    Best wishes for his recovery. Pretty neat that him, and others such as Freiburger could make a living at what they loved, old cars and parts.

    Has a lot of old school hot rodding been lost?

    Am participating in a final clean out and crush of a local yard that operated from the fifties up until two years ago. Am trying to get some clean square body, and also some '88 to '00 truck parts out of there, before they are gone. The roundy round circuit certainly did consume a lot of good...

    Block crack

    I'd consult a casting / welding Guy who has extensive experience in cast iron. A few should still be out there, remember one in Albuquerque 25 years ago, he finally retired and closed up shop. (C J Castings). Hemmings Motor News shows some possibilities, including one in your backyard: 1...

    Should I get this?

    RV's do not age well down here. The sun beats on the exterior, then water gets inside it and destroys the interiors. Metal parts are all excellent though. Many have been lived in by homeless types so a lot of crud - canned food, pet waste, etc. gets ground into carpets, seats, etc. Gross...

    UPS has a Flat Rate shipping option now

    USPS has three domestic flat rate boxes. small medium and large. Guessing UPS is trying to get on that bandwagon.

    I got pulled over...

    Was originally a slant six three on tree bare bones fury I. the pedals and front clip, besides front bumper are gone. There has to be someone out there who would appreciate this car, not a whole lot of love on that c body site.

    WHEN MEN WERE MEN-CARS MADE OF US STEEL

    Not sure where the Billings, MT thing came from, but Provincetown, MASS, yes

    I got pulled over...

    Yes stale cigarettes - everyone smoked back then, it seemed. local yard still has this '66 Fury two door post. NM state police apparently used a handful of them for pursuit duties. The interstate system was partial at that time, with only disconnected sections in use. This car came from...

    the best bargain might have been the front disc brakes - $27.90.

    1974 Chrysler Valiant Regal

    was there any conflict with general motors over the use of the "Regal" name? Or was this car first, before the Buick Regal- debuted 1973 I believe.

    72 Dart Swinger in junk yard, made an offer on it(Lots of pictures)

    most yards nowadays don't want to sell whole cars. usually they deactivate the title/VIN right away with the state DMV. They make more in crushing and ferrous scrapping. Did buy a fairly complete 70 cutlass post coupe roller in albuquerque three and a half years ago for $250 - roughly scrap...

    17 year old kid tried to buy my bracket racer :(
