Desert Vally Auto ships parts all over the world & we took a ride to the South lot recently, where most of their older stuff is.
I counted 7 V-8 cars and another 8 or so straight 8 cars.

Got any buffing compound??
Enjoy!

As Herbert Morrison famously said, "OH, The Humanity". Not human but still a depressing sight. Not much hope for very many good body parts off those cars is there. Did they treat the Cads or Fords and Chevy's that way?

Any bets that the rear end of that Clipper hardtop is now sitting in someone's den in the form of a couch?

Damned shame, it looks like a restorable body.

Even the other shells don't look too bad. The way their stakced, I can't beleive they still have their engine or trans.

I don't know what kind of car it is, but in the first pic in the upper right corner is a black car that looks awfully nice to be in a junkyard.

When I went down there (about ten years back) I saw all of the cars stacked "two high". ...roofs caved and door window frames smashed beyond hope. That was in all makes.

Someone told me that over the more recent years they stopped stacking.

When I went, they really didn't seem interested in helping me out. I was looking for Packard (23rd) and '63 Impala parts.
