They also tend to have rose-colored glasses on when they describe the condition of the parts they have.

As do most sellers

They ARE expensive, but they know their Mopars and they give good service.

I have only dealt with them one time and it took me four months to get my part. It ended up being an unpleasant experience when the guy told me I could wait or I could try to find it somewhere else, but there would be no refund. And yes, it was very expensive and in very poor condition when I received it. I paid over $100 for one rear bumper guard and the mounting hole had a bolt broken of in it that I had to cut out and reweld the bracket and then replate. As an absolutle last resort, maybe, but barring that never again.

Folks This is why I do a junk yard tour in the winter. I get Car & Parts mag and they have a salvage yare section. I visit these yards and find out what mind set these cats have, yes some people think because it's old it's gold. Some understand age and wear.

When you visit these guy's they get to know you and understand what you will except.

I know in your area there are a couple of yards you can "shop"

What you do is get a couple of your fellow hobbyist together and go.

When it comes to moores I understand these guy's are up in age.

They remember the part as it was 20 years ago.

Unfortunately there are no "old" yards here, just 80's and up. Don't know how far away from Omaha I need to go or what direction...BUT that's the fun part. Saturday drives on RR1 or RR2 eating dust to find treasures and some times treasure yards! :D

Rodney, does that magazine cover the southwest part of the country?

[Frank Elder]

Salvage yards are not hard to find, even if they are in the sticks where no one sees them, or heard of them. All salvage yards are required by law to be registered with the state DNR/EPA and DMV for their individual state. Just call the DNR/EPA or DMV in your state and they will either send you a list of them for a small fee, or tell you where to find them on their state web site.

That's the good part, I saw an article on a junkyard in Alaska! can you believe that:) They go all over the country. That's the kind of job I would love! I know I have seen yards in Omaha. I could be wrong. I must say that I had thought there were no yuards that I did not know of:( I was wrong very wrong I have been to three in Maryland that are not on the map. They had alot of stuff too.

I toured Moore's at the POC meet in Rapid City in 2000. We walked through the yard and took parts that we needed off of the cars. The owners and a young man that someone said was a grandson would look at the parts and give you a price. If you showed the old man your parts he would give you a high price, if you showed the young man your parts you got a really low price. I learned quick to go to the kid.

I bought a fuel pump heat shield for $5, a spare tire hold down for $3, and some other small parts.

They had a lot of P-15s that still had parts on them. If I can find the pictures of the yard and figure out how to post them I'll put them on the forum.

There is a yard east of Lincoln. East O street. About 6 miles east, I think. Guy knows what he has, but I needed the stuff for a '68 Continental.

I think the web address above should be www.carsandparts.com.

I have subscribed to Cars & Parts since the 1970s. Back then, their

emphasis was on the "old" cars from the 20s and 30s. Now, they have

things more current. The salvage yard articles are helpful, and I'm sure

they try to run them from all over the country as guys get to the yards.

They usually give the address along with driving directions to find them.

Norm I know what your sayin about the registrations and regulations but in TN there are places here back in the sticks, off the beaten path that I know are not on any lists and these are the best places to find the goodies cause not that many people know of them.
