Road trip to a junkyard...
My dad and I took our annual "guys trip" and went up to northwestern Colorado. We spent the night in Craig and headed home thru Baggs Wyoming and over to Laramie and back home, a 500 mile round trip. We stopped at a junkyard on the way, they had some good stuff, but it was overpriced. It'll probably rot away there because of it.
About 20 or so 67-72's including these two shorty's- ![]() ![]() Check out the interior in this GMC- ![]() A 52 or 53 AD truck resting under a tree with a two door 69 Chevelle- ![]() A little 64/65 shorty- ![]() A 55 post. The MOPAR next to it still had the complete 354 Hemi with air in it- ![]() A 56 post. When's the last time you saw a 26 tall T that wasn't buried to the doors? ![]() And finally this jem. A complete fairly rust free 66 Impala with the 396 still intact right down to the sticker on the air cleaner ![]() ![]()

Well if it wasn't overpriced it would have been long gone...because thats some prime stuff there ...and that is some beautiful country.

Re: Road trip to a junkyard...
You said NW Colorado and I thought,"Moffit County".Did you get out as far as Maybell?That`s some well preserved iron there.Don`t you wish you could just pay dirt for the dirt and get the vehicles free?

Re: Road trip to a junkyard...
did a lot of hunting around craig back in the 90s. had a chance to go to work there too--still kicking my a$$ for not taking the job. i stopped at a wrecking yard around there one deer season and the guy wouldn't sell anything--he must have had 20 acres of cars and trucks and wouldn't even let us look at anything.
