Mopar Salvage Yard...

Dad went down to look at one of the bulge hoods that his buddy told him about.  The place is about an hour south of where I live.  Dad said that when he got there its nothing but Mopars!  40 ACRES OF MOPARS!!!!  This guy has been collecting them for years.  He has just about any car you can think of.  Chargers, Challengers, Baracudas, Hemi Cudas, Road Runners...  Yall get the point.  We are going back down there when I finish working the shutdown next weekend to take my hood.  He diddnt have any bulge hoods but he is going to rebuild the under side of mine.  I am taking TONS of pictures when I go down there, and getting his number so yall can call him to check on parts if you need them.  One thing he has that he wont even talk about selling is an Air Grabber hood that is on a 73' Charger.  I want it!!!!  But he wont budge, and with everything he has I don't think dad is going to be able to work out any trading deals...

It sounds almost too good to be true.
If the guy is a "collector", then likely he's always on the lookout for more cars...
You might be able to talk him out of some of his stuff if you mention that you know where he might be able to find more cars for his "collection". Play on his own greed.
Get him talking about his stuff too. But don't tell him ANYTHING about your stuff.
Chances are, he's not a real car enthusiast per-se...just a guy who likes to deprive other people of things they want.
It gives him POWER! ::)

  Ya post his address so me and a thousand other guys will hit the ATM money machines & meet you there in the morning.

Hehe, its a few miles south of Coushata Louisiana.  I will get his address and phone number when we go down there next week.  Hell, that will be ALOT of help to everyone looking for original parts.  And with what dad told me he has TONS of Chargers.  Just about every year and style they made.  I know he said he looked at about 13 73's trying to find a rear bumper.  And he probably has about 30, 426 Hemi's there.  And that is most likely on the low side.

Is that area near Shreveport by chance? Long story but my friend has been there also and seen the yard.

I just got word that an old car yard is being crushed because the owner needs funds quickly. My friend who owns a car yard in Creston got word of it from a guy who purchased a 1970 Dodge Coronet u-code for only 3 digits! Sadly I have no idea where this yard is and it's an 8-9 hour drive away so not really just a day trip.

If a decent car can be bought there cheaply, you could make it a day trip (or two).

I would but I have no proof that this yard exists and no idea where it is. All I have is someone telling a friend who then told me there is a yard somewhere in Houston lol.

Theres a yard in Yahk BC too and they have 2 70 Coronets. One was $400 and the other was $200. The $400 one has an offer/deposit on it but the $200, CHARGERPUNK was gonna buy it but its like a 12hr drive to the junkyard. So now hes not. The owner said it was going to go the crusher today. He put it on top of the pile of crusher cars but late last night, his friend phoned him and said he wants it so the car got taken off the pile and got saved from the crusher!! Just in the nic of time! Also, he has 2 1973 Challenger project cars for $1500 but he apperentley sold them today. Heres a pic of the Coronet that got saved from the crusher.

I live about 20 minutes East of Shreveport/Bossier and its about an hour drive south for me to get there.  It's not right around the corner from Shreveport...  But its not that far off either.

This is the place that the old man who owned all these cars has recently passed a way correct, or did you get that much info. from whoever? I know that there are a lot of good cars/parts there. Wish I closer than Alaska. I'd get a car hauler and be buying up some projects! Oh yeah, I think everyone here would like some photos also if/when you go.

Well, dad said that nobody down there has died that he knows of.  Its a younger guy that owns it.  Guys last name is Bamburg, and it is about 6 miles south of Coushatta just north of a town called Campti.  It is right off of Hwy 71.  Oh and believe me I will have TONS of pictures.  Also if anyone is looking for a particular part then let me know and I will see if he has it.  And get a price for it.

Thats the place, I started a thread about it months ago, and never got any photos from my friend Mike, long story, but many people on line here said I was full of crap, well now they can all suck an egg!

I talk to paul all the time. The FULL story though is the cars he crushed were rusted and completely stripped. Also most of the cars that were crushed were Hyundais and things of that sort.

ok i gotta update this post. i decided to haul it over there today since it had been a while. turns out this is a different place than i went to long ago. the guy i met today told me the old man(where i went to in 1997) still has a few things, but nothing worth messing with. now let me say this guy today was super nice and was die hard mopar. nice to talk to. HOWEVER, though he may own 40 acres, and though he may have lots of mopars, there are NO hemi cars, NO hemi motors, no 6 pack cars, no R/T's even. he has 4 68-70 chargers on the place and they all belong to someone else. he has i'd say 200 cars out there total. most are dusters. darts, maybe 6-7 challengers,. 2 70 barracuda shells, few earlier barracudas, satellites, coronets etc. nothing rare. but still cool to look at nonetheless. don't go there expecting to find the hole in the wall undiscovered mopar gold mine. he does have a lot of 3rd gens for you guys, and i didn't see but one lone fastback and that is one of his personal cars. like i said he is a great guy and was a blast to talk to, most cars were drowned in briar bushes and high weeds so pics would have been pointless. so i didn't take any. if any one REALLY wants his number or directions, PM me. i would broadcast it here, but he is not a published business, he does have a job, and i don't know if he wants to be called 10 times a day by lots of people. so in respect of that i will not post it
