    I wish there was more yards like that here to. scrape prices went sky high a couple years ago, so alot of good parts cars got crushed.

    I love junk yards, too bad most around here are mainly newer cars. They don't seem to keep older cars around very long.

    My God , go back there and strip those babies clean. Parts for yourself or parts for everyone else just don't let them go to waste.
