I am a HUGE fan of the walk through junk yard. Its an idea thats been choked out by rules, laws and city ordinances that are not designed to create fair commerce but to limit new businesses for the larger ones with deep pockets that create those rules, laws and ordinances through the city.. But I digress.. I wish this business was open. Not just because I'm always looking for parts for my van, but because its how i spent my summers at my uncles junk yard in North Dakota. It was a wonderful playground where were actually built things with our hands, creativity, motors, wheels, gas and oil. These types of place are worth the process. Not because they are capitalist ls, but because they know the value of their place. They're not selling their things in a Walmart. So to the critics, stop being a Nancy and get your elbows dirty.
This yard is one of a dying breed. You won't come across one like this very often in today's day and age. Everything from model A and T vehicles to a dozen 63,4&5 impalas. Several utility boxes for work trucks, stockpiled radiators, dash components, trim, glass, motors, transmissions& transfer cases, and a plethora of tires and wheel sets. Several good, running, turn key vehicles. The unique but wonderful twist is the amount of "trinkets", "goodies" and in my opinion "treasures" to be found amongst the salvage vehicles. Everything is for sale. An absolute must for the automotive buff restoring that special project. An almost sure bet to find that impossible to locate part. You will truly be amazed.
This yard is so awesome, howard is very hospitable and will help in any way possible. It's a little out of the way but I would travel to this yard just to talk to howard.
Would be a bit easier to gag down Howard's prices if he wasn't such an a**. $65 for a spindle. $125 for a bent hood? Open 10:30-5. Doesn't answer the phone. Don't need parts that bad...won't be back ever!
