Junkyards in February!
Permalink Closed


Yesterday, Tim Drove in from Rochester, and met up with Doug, Bryan, Matt and Myself and we went back to the yards. It was a brisk 14 degrees out, But that doesn't stop us, LOL! Some of cool stuff we found, like this old Jeep that belonged to some Municipality at one time







The Only new 4th Gen we found and as Doug already said in his thread, it has become pretty stripped





We found this, we have no idea what it's for, but WE Need it!

MMMM Lunch

Tim Gearing up for the next Home boy Shopping network

And yes, there were three of thses Coke vans there. I paid my respects

And Tim and I checked out a possible Monte Hunter Travel Vehicle

Gotta love the Hi Tech Driver A/C system!

Well, Racing season has started and Even the Bears are excited!

And Tim would like to wish everyone a Happy Valentine's day!


We did manage to grab some cool stuff! I got the Clock/Tach delete panel and it is perfect, plus the Cassette that came with the 1995 Monte Carlo describing features of the car. Tim managed to grab a 5th Gen grille Bow tie and the Cigarette lighter for his 6th gen. And Doug snagged the trim piece, the flywheel inspection cover, Bryan found a rear view Mirror and the hood ornament for his Cutlass and Matt got a Door panel for his Dakota.

Nice pics, that engine you "need" looks like a 220,240 or 262 international parrot...actual size is usually stamped on the head. Was use in 1950 international trucks...what was it in?

Joe, it's mounted inside a Buffalo Pump truck of some kind. Not sure if it was a sewer sucker or part fire truck. it just looked cool! LOL!

Oh and I have 2 of those Coin holders for you. just about mint too! You said they are hard to find. Plus 2 yards had 94-99 Mustangs, anything you need interior wise?

Joe, M&M as well as LKQ both had Mustangs like yours there, I never paid attention to the A pillers.

Tony, I didn't ned one, but since I found one, I figured I'd grab it. and Now I want to find one so I can scam the Monte Emblem off it! It would fit the nose of my pedal car perfectly!! Actually I would need 3, the tail lights are the same size! If you come across one that is damaged, but the emblem is good, snag it for me please!

And yes there was a complete Morris wagon there! it was on top of a trailer.

Ronnie, We plan on making a trip through the Rochester Yards on the 27th, If your interested let Tim or I know

no, the truck I was not complaining about, it was the weather surrounding the truck that I was complaining about. I bet if we had kept the windows down, we could have melted what snow we have left in Buffalo lol

Jason, they were pretty straight on the top, But I think the lowers were pretty rusted. Doug would know better, he's checked out every inch of that car.

No door panels yet Matty, found one that was nice, but the carpet was starting to peel. Heading out again on the 27th to Rochester, we'll see if anything new show up out there.
