And this one actually made my day.
I found THE hose I've been looking for - 1969 B-body big block suction hose

Wow, them is some rusted 2nd Gens in there.  :'(

One great wife (Life is good)
14 RAM 1500 5.7 Hemi Crew Cab (crap hauler)
69 Dodge Charger R/T, Q5, C6X, V1X, V88  (Life is WAY better)

I took maybe 45 pictures , and I think there were more like 10 chargers , years ranging from 1966 thru 1974, with probably 6 or 7  2nd generations

I doubt any are savable. But I was surprised on the number that were reasonably complete. I saw 2 1969's ( both 383 4barrels) that were complete cars, And they  looked like they might have been running/driving cars when they were junked

Probably well over 10-15 Plymouth  B-bodies 68-70
another 20 or so 68-70 Coronets
dozens of 62-65 B-bodies
dozens of cars 1962 and older
several dozen A-bodies of various years.With at least one 1969 fastback Barracuda Formula S 383 auto
I lost count of the E-bodies

And this is just what I saw in the hour or so  I walked around

Out of the 300 plus cars he said were there , only maybe 5 were non mopars

Great pictures! Someone should get shock therapy for letting them rot away. Thanks for posting them.

Wow 300 cars & mostly Mopars...  I know it's been said before, but why do people just let stuff rust away too nothing, I just don't get it sometimes, probably had big plans for all of that stuff...  I would love to take all of that stuff out of there, get at least the useable parts back to someone who needs them, all that vintage iron & parts going to such a waste, instead it's just going back to mother nature... Very Cool photos, thanks for sharing them...

Fellas,

Every car is a parts car, and every single piece in there is for sale.
It's the formerlly known as Mitchell Motor Parts, or actually now the proper name is AMS Obsolete. Frank is no longer the man in charge, he's only the buyer and partime consultant. he plans to retire full time in the next 2 to 3 years. the new owners name is Mike  and he seems to be real nice guy trying to make a living. yea, Ok,  Maybe he's  not the cheapest person on the planet , but I didn't think he was out of line either.
As an example I paid $175 for the suction hose. and considering this is the 1st one I've found since starting this project I didn't think that was to bad.

Some things he's to high.As an example I priced a non a/c heater boxes for cores and it was $250, when I can buy all I want for under $100 at any show. But I realize he has to pay someone to remove said box so if you considers ones time and tools maybe thats not bad.

When you find the place, your jaw will hit the floor,,,,, mine did.

Here's a teaser. These shelves are 3 ft long, 1ft high and 1ft deep. and there are 8800 of them. This is JUST whats inventoried , stocked and put away.



gtx6970

How about some NOS shocks
2 shelves - one was about 5 ft high and 4 ft wide and the 2nd one was about 7 ft high 3 ft wide


gtx6970

Wheel lip mldgs ( all nos ) - boxes laid on there sides and stacked at least 12 ft high and about 10 ft wide. And this was just one of 2 like stacks.

gtx6970

How about long mouldings
This shelf was huge, at least 30 ft long and maybe 8 ft high
With more mdlgs inventoried , boxed and along another wall
