Saw this guys auction on ebay. He says he acquired a junk yard with 900 vintage cars that has been closed to the public for 25 years . Might be worth contacting him if you are close enough to go snoop around. Take a sandwich and a 6 pack and make a day out of it! Here is the auction to get contact info: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=34204&item=2494829710&rd=1
We have several members in E. PA and NJ. If you can get the address of the yard from the new owner and post it, I'm sure he will get some of our business especially if there are any Mavs/Comets there.
Here is what he emailed back to me. Sounds like rusted cars but like I said, worth checking if you live in the area. "Eric, That's great! I'll try to help if I can. I know there is 1 grabber up there, a couple mavericks, 1 comet. and old comets. My addy Jackie O'Brien 1418 N George St. York, PA 17404 or e-mail me at Jdaytona93@aol.com. Tell them to give me about a week to check for the parts. I have 2 other jobs and I'm doing this for a friend. Most of the sheet metal is gone on these cars, ok. Thank You, Jackie"
Looks like a nice set of headlight doors. I've pulled (literally) hood lip molding off rustier hoods than that.
Here's the reply I got about visiting the junk yard... Barry, How about next Sat. or Sun. depending on the weather.Just let me know .Plan on spending about 2hrs up there. Not much good sheet metal. Wear boots it might be muddy and tic spray. TY Jackie I'll take pictures and see if there's anything worthwhile.
I"ll be in touch with ya towards the end of the week. Sounds like a plan. Hope he's got some 57 stuff.
"Jackie" is a girl. The last email I received from her, indicated she didn't know much about Maverick's, as she was a "Mopar Girl". That would have been a surprise when you got there!
