i took a road trip out to my buddies yard today. he has over 800 cars that are pre 90s. in past years he has been crushing due to the economy. he sells a buttload of parts overseas and does not ever advertise, as this is a private collection and not a wrecking yard. i was out there last summer and he had over 1200 cars. this is a little of everything, though mainly GM. there are a crapload of C bodies but very few mopars are left. this place is so huge that the only way too see it all is by driving. i took the duster out for a little muddin and i was snapping shots as i was driving. the pictures kind of suck because it was so bright outside today, but i thought i would share. i will do this in segments because i took about 25 pics, although i could have taken hundreds. while i was there i scored a set of 15 x 7 steel wheels off a dodge van. the first pics are a 73 road runner and a 64 dart GT 273 console bucket seat car, and a couple C bodies. there are big block cars galore. not many really special cars, there are a few darts, chargers, about 13 cordobas, a couple dusters , i just didnt have time to drive the land to get pics, but i will be going back out later this spring to get details. this is only a preview.

Cool. Where abouts in Colorado is it?

 

[Bulldozer]

it is about 40 miles east of the springs. i cant wait to get back out there and take a real good look

 

[1970Duster]

Why not grab those brake caliper mounts off the c bodies and sell them? Also that 69 z28 never came with a 396, it's a DS 302 (290 HP) small block car. Next time you go out there, see if the z28 has rear disc brakes and if that Chevelle a functional cowl induction.

lol i know keith!! go figure huh , i just couldnt pass them up. i honestly didnt expect to come across any but i figured i might as well grab them while i was there. i have total access to roam and everything is for sale, but he is very anal about certian cars, but the mopar stuff is mostly up for grabs. as far as the 69 396 , i could not say any different because i have no clue what those things came with. it did have a motor

u pull n pay has taken over and we all know the story there. there is only one other yard like this left in this area. i refuse to go out there, because the owner makes you wait in the office while his son goes out and pulls your part and then bends you over the counter on price.

 

[dartfastback]

All those cars would sure give me a "Colorado Rocky Mountain High" while touring!

Cool yard, tell him to quit crushing. That 63 Valiant wagon had some nice headlight rings on it. And cool Imperial!

 

[Bulldozer]

nothing like yarding on the front range in march with 68* temps.

there were so many cars i couldnt get pics of. the bodies look rough but the stainless on most of them is next to perfect. the air is so dry here, it takes a long time for them to rust
