EDIT: pics removed 2-13-08.

 

I love junkyardin' too. great pics! too bad the yards up here aren't graveled... all of our's are just old fields. im thinking about trading for an old '66 ford f250 something like the one you pictured...

 

Cool pics. Wish I could find a yard like that around here. Thanks for sharing!

 

They have been opening a ton of new locations in the past year or so.There is a location in KY now... not sure how far away it is from you. http://pullapart.com/Locations/LocationDetail.aspx?locationId=8

Unfortunately, they do not sell entire cars. You could take the car apart in the yard and carry it out one piece at a time, but they will not sell you a complete car... I have no idea why. You also aren't supposed to take cameras in there, but I have been for the last few years anyways... I have hundreds of pics I have taken of cars there in the past couple of years. They have three locations in GA, the original Norcross location not far from my house. And they are opening a fourth location in Lithonia! :bananaman

I'll bet it's only a matter of time before they spread out to California. They have tripled their number of locations and states they are in in the past year alone. Looks to me like they will end up being all over the country.

 

Cool pics!!!!

 

Yeah, they'll probably make their way over here. We have Pick-N-Pulls out here, but there aren't too many and they rarely have any cars older than the 80s - at least the ones in my area. With land so expensive over here, I've seen junkyards bought out, cleaned up, and developed into houses or other uses. I think I need to take a junk yard road trip - that would be sweet.

 

I would love to have the box off that blue 64-66 for mine.And that crusty 460 is actually a 320 horse 2bbl 429 (had the same one in my 64 when i first built it) That Mark III lincolin in the first pic should have a 365 horse 460 though.

 

It's a 460. The car is the upper model Brougham trim, which came standard with a 460 in 1974. That's not to say the engine in the car hasn't been replaced with a 429 at some point, but the 429 was not available from the factory in this car in 1974. 1974 was the first year of the 400M, which replaced the 429 in the base model cars.

 

great pics!!!! GOT MORE??????

 

Don't mean to be an a## but that merc is a 69.Same car i pulled my 429 from.Just to check my memory i Googled it

 

Well you should have said that in the first place. Pull-A-Part said it was a '74, I didn't care enough to really check what it was, but a '74 Marquis Brougham would have a 460..

 

on the drivers quarter is a ...white sticker...the yard puts these on and it has the ...year /model...info on it. what do junk yards know about 70s cars today anyway?

 

Come up to Sac one day, I'll show ya a couple.

 

Yea,the one here gets the year off a couple sometimes.You shoulda known that wasn't a '74-it didn't have the big-ugly crash bumpers.

 

The stainless trimmed brake pedal pad and accelerator pedal in that big Merc might fit our cars also.
