Event Coverage Visited THE Imperial salvage yard yesterday (Pictures)

Dad and I, and a few fellows from his Imperail club visited Imperial heaven yesterday...you'd be hard pressed to see more Imperials anywhere. He does have a few of the "lesser" Chrysler procucts, but Imperials from '51-'68 are his game, and he's very good at it...this isn't an advertisement for him, just sharing some pictures...and most are CA rust-free parts cars

Early 1950's:



Don't see too many of these Crown Imperial limousines around, eh?:




1955-56's:

A little over view shot of a small section of the yard spanning 1951-1958, with a fiew random Mopar's in the foreground:

1965-66's:


Have some more to load, but this should have your attention...and to all you demo derby (insert offensive adjective here) fellows, he doesn't sell whole cars...

Thanks for looking

 

Holy crap, that`s a bunch of Imperials.

 

And here I thought the junkyard was in the town named Imperial. That's an amazing collection of cars.

 

The 55-56s are sweet the rest have a face only a mopar man could love!

 

looks like mopar heaven. wish my backyard was like....... wait a minute, i dont have a backyard!

 

I would be in heaven there....Wow, thanks for the pictures...and the depression.

 

I just wish I had a place like this to park cars!

 

He knows his cars and parts and interchanges and his prices are always very fair in my opinion. I've done biz with him several times and would recommend him to anyone.

 

I wondered where all those Imperials went...now I know...!!!

R-

 

WOW, very nice, clean yard too. would be heaven to me, thx for the pics. what city?

 

BigRedTodd, THANKS for sharing these! VERY enjoyable. AND, it really gladens my heart to see somebody do SUCH a good job of keeping his place neat and organized. I don't think ANYBODY would/could take better care of these old MoPars in an outdoor setting!

 

He's in the central valley, west of Modesto...

He has some Hemi's, too...






...and some wedges in the mix, too...he's got a lot of core engines...plenty of early 60's 413's from the Imperials...

 

The HEMIS MAN! Where's the HEMIS!?? (D'oH! You were posting as I was posting)

WOW! That's a lot of Chrysler tin!

 

Why do people INSIST on separating the lower bell housing/starter housing from the original block????!!!!!

Sorry... pet-peave. Continue with the program...

Amazing!

 

Scott, my exact thought when I saw the pic and of course spark plug wire covers are part of my same complaint....gggrrrrr

Maybe we need to get back on 'that' project.

The condition of that yard impresses the hell out of me! Finally someone who doesn't just throw shit in a pile, but organizes it in a thoughtful manner.

 

Was just thinking that yesterday... Need to get some of these irons out of the fire.

 

Can you PM me the phone #

 

Wonder if he has any 392's and what he wants for them.

 

I would love to see that place in person.

 

I've bought parts from that guy.....seemed really nice over the phone. Got his info on ImperialClub.com

 

I think this is the guy in Patterson, CA......right? Looks like the place I visited abot 9 or ten years ago.......nice guy. I bought some '55/'56 Imperial parts from him at the time and stopped to see him again when I happened to go through that area again a year or so later. Glad to know he's still going............dang! can'r recall his name!

i guess no one wants a imperial, thats why he has so many, still cool old cars

 

Dont let the guys from WECRASH.COM see theese things. OH BOY!!!!!!!!!

 

...is anyone EVER going to post any contact info?????

.

 

Looks like the moist rad demo derby EVER














Just kidding

 

WOW!!!! I'm so close yet so far away. Thanks for putting your visit up on the HAMB.

 

Isn't that John Fowlie's place? Trees and buildings sure look like it.

If so:
Big M Automotive

(530) 473-2225

Super polite guy - spoken to him by phone only. Prices...well...his stuff is nice, so...!

 

Make a grown MoPar freak cry, I want to go there. Nice MoPar pickup das 858, nice to see a Nebraska MoPar fan. Thanx for the cool junkyard tour, never seen one so organized. ~sololobo~

 

Wonder how they keep all the tires aired up?
