Junk Yard Score!

I got a 1969 Am 8 Track and a wood grain wheel today for $40! The Am 8 track is real nice, I had it appart and it looks real good! The wheel is out of a 69 Bee. The last guy to drive the bee decided to test Newtons law of Motion so it is bent on the top. Can that be fixed? Zack-

Man sweet job right there.  How bad of condition was the bee in .  Looked pretty good from the pick unless by newtons law you mean he trashed the front end.
Life isn't Father Knows Best anymore, it's a kick in the face on a saturday night with a steel toed grip kodiak work boot and a trip to the hospital all bloodied and bashed.....for reconstructive surgery. But, what doesn't kill us, makes us stronger, right?

Mean 318

ummmm.... very dead!

The Superbee looks salvagable to me.
The steering wheel too, but could you imagine the pain involved in putting it in that condition?
Hope you've got a good stash of 8 tracks!

that wheel looks pretty beat, but think of it this way. the horn cap is worth what you paid for the whole setup. so no worries! that 8 track was a good score for sure. how much can you get that windshield chrome set for? i'd be interested in it

LOTS of 40s and 50s stuff there! If anyone is up in ND I can get you into his private yards ;D
He claims to own 10,000 cars! He crushed 2,500 last year :'(
There is also a mopar yard next door!
In back there is a row of about 50 57 Chevys! He also has some real nice 55s! Just a ton of 50s stuff!

Mean 318

here are a few pics from the yard next door!

Mean 318

the guy next door has a lot of mopar stuff, but his prices are a little higher, he also crushed a lot of cars this winter. He is trying to hold out on crushing any mopars, but I am thinking within the next ten years there wont be anything left!

THE COLONEL

Wow, those are good pics.  Some of the parts on those cars look great.  Go back and get more for yourself! :yesnod:

  :scope:thanks for posting more more of your awesome photos ( Mean318)  what an awesome place to walk around  :drool5: , i would not be seen for days if i whent in there .  perhaps its  because of my love of mopars & i dont't like to see any chrysler hardware going to the great junk yard in the sky , to me i think the only one that should be there is the F8 69 superbee ,  and almost all the others should be pulled out of there ,as some of them look better than what is on ebay ,  un less ( Mean 318) only  took photos of the good side  ;D

Damn I wish there were places like that here. Thanks for sharing

Mean 318

a lot of the cars are sinking in the ground :'(, so the bigest problem is the floors and frames :rotz:

I live in Grand Forks. These are all close to me.

Wow!  Great find, great parts score, and great stash to turn us all on to.  Way to go.

Mean 318

Well, the only way you can get anything from either place is to go there yourself! If you call they will tell you to come out and look to see what they have! The other guy will tell you he doesnt have what you need because he doesnt like going to take parts off.

It wasn't too bad, It becomes easy when you just don't give a damn about the car ;). I didn't break anyting, but I want afraid to use some muscle!

IowaCharger69

Buy them all. If you don't have the money get a loan from someone. Find a place to put them. There was a place like that near me until five years ago. If I had half a clue then....now, well they are all soup cans by now. DON'T LET IT HAPPEN TO YOU.

This bezel looks like it is in great shape yet and like most of the chrome trim is still there. Wish I could grab it :yesnod:
