    Not sure if it's a repost. A buddy sent me this photographer's link. I'm told it's a working yard and all is for sale. If you look almost all the way down you can read the phone # on the billboard, missing area code which is 940. Looks like there's some salvageable tin...

    thats CTC or whatever north of Denton on I-35. Oh they are all for sale for sure, but asking price is usually 30-40x's what you'd expect to hear them say.

    Forgot which piece of Cadillac or Riviera trim it was but I called them a handful of years ago. I expected to here $50-80-100-120 maybe????? Dude wanted $3k, I actually asked if he meant $300....maybe....(even though that was stupid high), nope $3k. I just hung up. I remember getting the piece off ebay sorry dont remember that price but lets say it was under $100.


    cool pics though.

    Yeah, I just talked with the guy that sent me the link and he told me the owner thinks everything's worth more than gold :rolleyes:.

    Prices usually way too high. They want $2k for something you can pick up for a few hundred elsewhere. I guess if they get a few suckers a month it probably pays the bills and payroll.

    I called them about a drivers rear fender for a '56 Ford Pickup. $600 he said. I got a pair for $100 at the swap meet a month later.
