Good Junk Yard Ft Collins/Denver Area??

I'm not lookin to horn in on anyone's Honey Hole but are there any good junk yards in the Ft. Collins/Denver area? Especially one that lets you go in the yard? I'm going out there for a visit and would enjoy a day searching. Thanks!!

Martins in Greeley is a good one. Been there for 50+ years and usually have a good stock of old stuff coming in from farmland being developed.

I would try Andersons in Greeley . Also Speedway on the north side of Denver is also worth a shot but I think it is only opened on weekends . I am sure there are a lot of good parts in Erie auto salvage but they are hard to deal with and wont let you in the yard .

Happened to stop by Riverside in Milliken CO. They only had a couple of 67-72 trucks but he had what I needed. John, the owner, couldn't better. They specialize in trucks, older and newer. I'm gonna try to sneak over to Martin's today.
Thanks for the help.

How is Martin's on price, I was told they're high but have never stopped in to investigate

Re: Good Junk Yard Ft Collins/Denver Area??

Martins is a bit high on their prices and are not easy to deal with either in my opinion . I get the impression that they would just as soon scrap the parts as sell them to someone who could use them . At least they will save most of the older stuff to part out rather than scrap it immediately .

Driving or Flying to Colorado?

If you're driving, you might stop at Wagoner & Sons on US 24 in Colby, KS. It's been there forever and they have a lot of old stuff. I haven't be there in years, but drove by this past summer and they are still going strong.
