It's all basic stuff that's available to anyone (that's why I explained my steps). I do work in an investigative capacity, but nothing like you'd think. Below is my world:
There used to be a road of wrecking yards in Woodinville, WA. They had an old parts yard. They were closing and selling everything off. They had about a dozen 61-63 Skylarks there. Some of them looked like they could have even been runners. I just drove through that area today, and all the yards have been removed as urban sprawl took over.
its kind of that way in every state look and you shall find i travel alot latly and mostly just to see what i can find and we hit alot of differnt states we start with a search for local yards in a direction we want to go comes up with a few we get to them and ask from there and usually if not always they come up with more local yards within 20 to 30 miles and if we wanted we would/ could stay out for month just doing this our last trip south to okky we found several yards one just outside of tolsa that the cars where untouched there was a 62 wildcat in there full auto consol bucket seats never touched also a few 61 and 62 pontiac full size stick cars and a 66 chevy ss impala with a 396 and auto consol buckets everything complete they just sold a 70 skylark gs befor i got there it was a convertable and in great shape he said they got a fe thousand for it there was a 60 electra convertable in there someone put a dual quad on it it looked like and had aluminum cover couldn't buy nothing off of that one is there anyone close to Cabool MO nice yards down there it must be over 200 acres Greg
That's the yard at New Waverly......about 15 miles from me. That yard will make you cry....all the cars gone to waste. Peace WildBill
Well, Greg H and his pal Zimm-who we call the 'energizer bunny' as he tears thru boneyards harvesting the parts-are still hitting those that remain. But I have a feeling that before I tip over, yard prowling may well be one of those 'remember when' memories... and that Google Earth is fun stuff!
