Arizona Salvage Yard Pics

Kind of a treat here for the car nuts. Laird is working in Phoenix this week and decided to go check out the Desert Valley Auto Parts yard from the show Desert Car Kings. He got to walk all over the yard and was nice enough to send pics. These are pretty cool. ENJOY GANG!

Lets start off right, this was in the parking lot, neat color!

Look at that wheel....so cool!


1967 Pontiac Ambulance

Grab that sport wagon emblem!

I see so much rot-free stuff that would follow me home.... *drool*

Thanks for the pics!

UNBELIEVABLE. Guys here would simply cry.

Does that wagon in the first pic ever look nice with the chrome trim and the wheels on that color.

Thanks again for posting this stuff Mike.

No problem. Figured you all would like them.

Sure looks like fun to me!

-Mike

THAT WAGON HAS THE WHEELS I WANTED!


God damn those look good. Those look like those MB Wheels wheels from Discount Tire. Like $110 each brand new.

I'm jealous of it.

MORE Arizona eye-candy from Laird. He went back to Desert Valley again this morning and just sent me all these. ENJOY!


What are these??


Oh Laird's happy, more fishbowl AMC's

Hey Crovo this would look good next to your new wagon!

Need a door from the 1950's?

Caddy grill laying in the dirt


Another fishbowl


Oh man this was a real Hurst/Olds with all four rare mag wheels still on it.



Dynamic 88


80's Chrysler 300's


79 AMX


WILD 70's seat fabric


1965 Grand Prix


There's a 4dr Christine


Neat stuff!

-Mike

I want that hearse!

I want the wheels off the Hurst/Olds!

Anyone know what those first cars are in the new pics today? I'm thinking English Fords???

the first two cars are Ford anglias/prefects, the body style before the Harry Potter anglia

I kinda figured that's what they were. I bet all the ones over in England have long since rusted away!

That pink Studebaker sure is funky looking.

-Mike

that caddy camper was a common use of retired ambulances and hearse back in the 50's and 60's, Popular mechanics had plans.

Hey Mike those H/O wheels are worth more then your Cutlass is.If you get them there is a company on Cali that specializes in restoring them.They arnt cheap but there work is top
notch.Make sure you get all the lugnuts you can find because i believe that they are specific
to those wheels only.
Good Luck

I'd love to have those for a future project. I actually like the chrome SSII factory wheels on my car just fine.

The one on the left is a 56? 57? Ford prefect,.looks like some one added a different grille?
The car on the right is 54 ford consul. I got in big trouble with one when i was a kid,.
As a side note, the christine style car is a belvedere not a fury,.

Those Fords sure are funky!

As for the 58 Plymouths, the one in the book was a 4dr....so that is a REAL Christine...ha! But Plymouth never made a 4dr Fury....only Stephen King's mind did that.

Pure torture for us north rust belt guy's. Not sure why I even click on your post,..... wait I know why I like seeing clean rust free vehicles/parts.

There is a really good yard not too far from me called John's Auto Salvage just outside the town of Seguin Tx. I keep meaning to run down there and get some pics to post, but every weekend is full. He's not crushed any cars...ever, and has SOLID stuff from the 1940's-80's.

Sad thing is summer before last someone dropped a cigarette and 1/4 of the cars burned. Lots of dry, deep grass there certain parts of the year. He had a really neat 58 Edsel that was so cool to get pics of that was totally gutted.

When I saw that one in Desert Valley, I thought it was someone's custom deal. You were right!
