Mo-Par City

[nodemon]

Finally got to visit this gem of a salvage yard. Had just about everything I was looking for, and then some. Even scored a SUPER nice pair of Demon tail lights. The owner, Larry, is friendly, knowledgeable and more than fair on prices. His employer, Miller, was also friendly and helpful.
If you need something, call .. If you get a chance, visit.. Cool place.

Not sure what price you heard, but I thought it seemed reasonable..but I'm only a utility tech, not a business man..

 

[tedsweet]

i heard over 1 million

 

[nodemon]

72 A-body bucket seats?

I didn't see any, wasn't looking...but he mentioned he had a building / storage of nothing but seats.

2 mil..or so is what I was told..

 

[tedsweet]

and you will never sell 90+ percent of parts he has. that era is over and done

 

[tedsweet]

also need it may be an envioromental mess

Perhaps... Hell, prep it for a future electric car salvage... There will be a ton of mint body cars to pick parts off of because nobody will be able to afford the batteries when they die so the cars will just be towed away to rot...lol

i have a friend that moved last year. had a barn of parts. everything that wasnt close to prefect was scraped

I have known Larry for decades, my shop is 30 minutes north. Whatever questions you have about the place just ask, Larry is done and wanting to sell everything as am I. He has bought me out a couple of times over the years, the bulk of my parts will be at his place after I am done in November...

Thank you for the reply! I should have specified. Looking for a-body buckets.

The seats are the same. It's the tracks that are different. The holes in the seats that the tracks bolt to are the same spacing, and either A or E body tracks will bolt to them.

 

[HemiSSDart]

Yes, seats are the same tracks are different...

72 buckets had hardbacks

And most of the stuff is already picked through. I've read a lot about it.

That's pretty cool. I bet you have a lot of stories from being that close. Hopefully someone interested in keeping it going will step up. Someone with deep enough pockets can restock the place.
