End of an era
Well the last of the old time wrecking yards in my area is gone. The cars have all been sold and what few are left are currently being hauled off.

I'm just thankful it lasted as long as it did. A lot of my old project cars came out of there and literately tons of parts. I actually figure that the whatever the old Hemi I'm building goes into will be the last car I build anyway.
The cars got sold to a yard up around Phoenix who sells nationally and internationally. At least I know where they all went (can't afford them now LOL).....just kidding I've bought some stuff from them years ago and they aren't too bad to deal with.

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

I'm just thankful they didn't go to a scrapper! There's a guy by me who has a hundred or so cars from the '50s, not much good left thoughSeth

Desert Valley I guess. Apparently they have 3 yards and the cars were split between them.
