They have a nice Shelby De Mexico there too. Definitely don't see too many of those!

Good call.

Craig, where was your junk yard at? Some decent stuff there too!

tarafied1 · « **Reply #29 on:** December, 14, 2009, 06:13:09 PM »

Eastern KY, most of it was picked over pretty well. The FB's were pretty rusty too! Lots of little stuff though...

that can't be real, thats to good to be true, all of the die hards would have swept in and picked them bones clean and then sold them bones. that is one awesome set of pictures though. makes you wonder.

Is there a Stangfix bus trip in our Future? We can have a rental van follow us to haul the booty home.

Mustang parts, road trip and booty? You had me at Mustang Parts

this salvage yard could be somewhere else in Colorado and not next to their warehouse...

Last summer I saw four or five pretty cool salvage yards. Now if my old memory could just remember where the heck they are!

There's one in Salt Lake and one in Vegas I've always wanted to go to.

Hey I have an idea. How many people would be up for a bus tour trip to great salvage yards? I could put the whole thing including hotels and meals together via my tour company. We could do it in the Fall. We would have to pack light and share tools so we would have enough room for parts, but could find some cool stuff.

Let me know and I can price it out.

Here's your answer... That salvage yard is real. As suspected, it's in Colorado.

By looking at those pictures , my heart beats goes up.But when i look closer to the pictures , i think it will surprise you how bad these cars are.On picture , every rust bucket looks better then in real.We all know that.
Of course there will be some nice restoration project , like that grabber green 70 mach 1 with 351 clevland at that amount , but i think i has also a surprise for you ( and your wallet ) Allthough i would love to go there with a couple of mustangers but there is a big pont between the yard and me !

Did you e-mail to see if its open to the public? I'm up for a road trip....

Heres the response. [member]Ill leave it up to those who may be interested. After a detailed letter to them, the reply with: "You should call Dan at 303-343-7024" Thats it. Great customer service already! :lol[/member]

Sooo, what did Dan say when you called? I think they said that because the cars are not located at the shop, Dan probably runs the yard, wherever it is.

I dont necessarily think its right for me to just blow smoke. The chance of me ever getting there are nil. The numbers there, call if your interested. :coo

As much as I would like to believe some of those junkyards exist which i'm sure some do, the shadows in the originally posted photograph dont really match up.

Mustang Mania isn't that far from me (about an hour drive) and has a yard full of parts cars.

I've called them before and gotten used parts from them the once or twice I needed something that isn't currently made in reproduction.

I have mixed emotions when I see Mustang grave yards. Part of me thinks its a shame no one restored them...but the other part of me thinks the more of them in there the more valuable mine is as a running / drivable car. :craz
