hi well I'm not really a new member, but I'm just now posting and reading posts, so hi, but i was wondering if there were any good mopar junk yards near the port perry/ scugog area, or toronto, any and all help is greatly appreciated

National Moparts

beaverton, Ontario - about 2.5 hours North of Toronto

They are probably the best all-Mopar auto yard and salavge in the North East

Check them out at www.nationalmoparts.com

The guys run a full restoration shop too, so no job is out of their capabilities.


MetallicA

hey thank you very much, i think i might pay them a visit when the weather get nice. and take pics of course

Crazy Larry

Yes, definitly bring a camera - they have so many treasures up there!

I was once up there and they had a burned '58 Plymouth Fury that was used in the movie "Christine". I almost had the editor of "Mopar Action" convinced to let me do an article on the place off the condition that the Fury was still there - but the last time I called, it had been sold to a collector and the article was scrapped.

They have a sister yard down in Georgia, who transports old mopars and parts to them twice a year - so the place is a giant hub for mopars.

You just never know what will be there next.

woo cool stuff, man that sux that you couldent publish your article, i hope the car went to a good home, and again thank you for all your help

Crazy Larry

The guys up at National Moparts told me the Canadian collector then sold Stateside for big bucks to a Collector who planned a restoration. I'll try to get names next time I'm up there so I can track down the progress.

Yeah, that did suck about the article - however they are printing my latest on in the May issue of "Mopar Action" - "Top 10 Mopar Movies of All Time."
It's a fun article to read and I submitted a ton of pics with it.

Should be out in May.

Good luck with finding what you need up there.

What are you looking for?
parts,part car or something to restore?

I'm from the Durham,Scugog area.
Try picking up a Triad at a local
convenience store.This classified add
magazine can be a good tool.There are usually a few
mopars and lots of parts to browse through.

I believe it's 2.95 ,nothing to lose.


MetallicA

cool i try to pick one of those up, im just looking for good mopar yards near home

You are not going to find too much up here in Canada as all of the old stuff has all been taken back by Mother Nature.  You may find some yards with old cars, but you will be pushing your luck in finding yards that are specific to Mopars.  Hell, I can only think of about 6 across the whole continent.  If anyone knows of more, by all means please chime in.

Have you looked in the Yellow Pages in Durham Region?  Have you done a search with Google?  As I said, you may find some yards and they may have old cars but there is not too much to choose from.  With the price of steel the way it has been since early 2004, a lot of yards have said good-bye to cars that had sat on their property for 50+ years.

If you look at this link, I think there is some contact information in there for a couple of Mopar guys in ON.  the Tri-Ad suggestion is also a good one.

If you are looking for something specific, we can help.  If you want to walk around salvage yards and look at old cars, plan a trip to the South as you will have much more to choose from.


MetallicA

cool, thankyou for all the great info, ya id love a car, but it might not happend any time soon, but just to walk around a mopar only yard would be cool, im planing a trip to the one a couple postes up

I was out today and found a bunch of B Bodies.  I'll post some pics on Friday.

MetallicA
