Where is that junkyard at i need some parts and not one junkyard has what i need.

VDOG · 08-02-2007, 07:18 PM

Not sure where it is, but looking at the posters city Ceres, CA, thats near Modesto. From LAX its 314 miles away so I hope its closer than that.

Hello MisterE72,
By chance would you have a phone number or a Email address. I am in need of a hard to find part that is not manufactured or offered by retailers.

Where do I send my résumé?

gferris5 · 08-02-2007, 08:33 PM

I'm pretty sure that junkyard is in the Bay Area somewhere. Maybe near San Jose. The owner is judicious about snagging any "parting outs" or cheap 68-72s that come up in Craigslist or anywhere--smart dude. I really want to go there, I need these stupid brake brackets and rods that are just impossible to fine...

Definite heaven

Makes me want to quit my dayjob....

**70cst** · 08-02-2007, 09:30 PM

Now that's what I call a GOLD mine.

Just think...would we get all that excited if that was a bunch of Ford or Dodge trucks.

02_GMC_97_FIII · 08-02-2007, 09:43 PM

Bunch of Ford parts I'd be pricing what scrap metal was a ton.... (just had to)

Very nice collection!

1970bowtie · 08-02-2007, 10:26 PM

theres one of those around here, but its mostly picked over. theres still quite a bit of good stuff, but the old man either wont sell it, or wants a fortune for it.
theres a 72 swb fleet in his shop that is clean, no rust,in primer,no engine,no trans....he wants $7500 for it

Seriously, someone on here probably has one or more of the part you are looking for that they want to sell. Just subscribe and ask for one. Subscription is only $25. I got a great deal on a part that's not reproduced.

MisterE72 · 08-03-2007, 07:18 PM

I just got off the phone with the owner. His name is Tony Mangapane. His phone number is (209) 537-7983. I hope he can help ya'll with your restorations.

The one in the Bay Area is in fremont.
