Folks Of Interest Geordie's junkyard pics!

Shit

 

I would love to spend a day or two just to appreciate all that vintage tin....Be nice to give all this old tin a new home.....Awesome place to have a H.A.M.B. members only auction! Great pics, thanks for sharing.

 

Man, that would be a crying shame to rob parts off this panel truck as complete and intact as it is.

Funny, the first thing that made me think "I'd like to have that" was the VW truck too...

 

Yeah, that is nutz as it does look to be a Plymouth or a Fargo panel. I think there are about 10x as many hens teeth in the world as there are these trucks.

 

Happy to see yards like this are still around!!

 

Inquiring mind want to know: What's inside the Quonset hut?

 

HOLY CRAP!! I need that cool "LOVE" VW van. Ok maybe not, but there is alot of cool stuff there.

 

Cool pics.Might be time to take a "vacation".

 

Geordie has been a sign painter forever. You should have seen his stuff 20 years ago!

 

dosn't have a set of doors for my '16 Dodge roadster does he?

 

Give me some time and I'll try to get prices on everything. I'm going to be working with Geordie to build him a decent website for selling this stuff. He's currently on Oldrides.com but has been having issues with them. I'll be able to provide better pics & descriptions eventually.

As for anyone wanting to make a trip out here to check the place out...let me know if you you're coming!

 

One of the main reasons that Geordie is so hard to get ahold of is that he travels all over doing his artwork. Window designs, graphics, etc. He did the artwork for my new business and it looks great! The man is quite talented.

Btw...that is one incredible Willys you have!

 

He still has the ambulance, you can barely see it in one of the pics.

This is not his main business, more like a hobby. It won't get crushed.

Hate to say it, but that's not a phaeton section, just a sedan with the roof cut off. I have no idea why it's marked as a phaeton.

 

Thanks on the Willys. Tinmann & myself made a few trips up to Geordie's in our younger days. Always entertaining! Followed by a burger and fries at the old Drive Inn restaurant there. Now what was the name of that place?

 

The Agassiz Drive In! It's still there, the local club has a cruise night once a month during the summer there, too. Great food, good location.

 

There is a place in my heart and garage for that A40 pickup. It would look nice next to my A40 sedan!

 

I never again want to hear about somebody having a fiberglass body because there's no real tin left to buy. If you want a fiberglass body...that' fine...but don't use that EXCUSE! If I hear it, I'll show these pics!

 

Don't jump for joy too soon. I just got some prices from Geordie and you may need to sit down. Nothing is going to be cheap, and he won't sell parts, just complete vehicles.

I'll be responding to all my PM's shortly.

 

I wouldn't expect real tin to be too cheap...but then, those fiberglass bodies are pretty pricey, too.

 

ok, i've had to reload to many times, stupid dial-up! I thought I saw a couple of essex's in there. Any chance he would have a set of 29 sedan suicide doors. A customer has one and someone put some T doors on it. I can make em match, but if its cheaper to buy some and ship them, it'll save me alot of work and him a lot of labor$$!! pm me if he has some.

 

Unfortunately he won't part anything out. Complete cars only.

 

I am spechless.

 

Alrighty, I have some prices for you guys. Hope you're sitting down. I''ll be curious to see what you have to say.

He's asking $1200 for that touring body. I don't know what the other side looks like.

That one is $1400, but be warned, the d/s rear corner of the body was squashed. I think he said that was a Whippet, not an Overland like it's marked.

COE is $1600.

He won't part anything out.

That VW is $2750.

The 2-piece grille he wants $500 for, and he has a spare w/s frame for $250. He won't part out anything that's even remotely complete.

He has a complete cowl w/doors, seat section, and windshield posts for $800.

The Prefects are $2000 each. He has a '48 and a '50.

Sorry, nothing like that in the pile.

 

My '32 5w body came from Geordie...... $1800 in 1989 dollars. Entertaining???? Well sorta...... From my dealings and other stories I've heard over the years, you've got to approach any deal with both eyes open, in-person, and cash in hand. But other than that, it's easy.

 

Well I was trying to be polite! Thinking back that Drive Inn food was good.

 

Ooooops, .......ummmm....... yup, the drive inn food was good.

 

He has most of those priced for less on his Oldride.com page
$750 and $900 for the tubs, $2500 for the VW pickup with a spare parts pick-up.
Like Tinmann said the only way to buy is in person with cash in hand.

i see a 46 chevy aerosedan - how much for that?

 

I don't understand how he manages to do that and expect people not to notice. His prices vary by the hour and his mood, it seems. No wonder he doesn't move much of it.

 

I'll ask next time I see him.
