I'm looking for C Body Model junk yards. I had a lead to a guy named Danny in Hattiesburg MS. but that number has been discounted.

There's CTC Auto Ranch in Sanger, TX. They seem to be really proud of their stuff judging by some of their prices.
There is a episode of Roadkill from the CTC Auto Ranch in Denton, TX.

For the most part, the yards around here don't have any Fusilage cars or Formal cars either. One yard has a few Slabs, but they've been pretty much picked clean. Someone bought the entire rear half of a 2-door '65 or '66 Fury.
If a Fusie or Formal comes into a yard it gets grabbed by the derby guys right away. I did manage to find a '70 Monaco 4-door a couple of years ago. I bought all of the small stuff like door handles, window cranks, etc. Everything else was gone although it did have a nice rear bumper and tail lights. I had to pass on those because I just didn't have the cash.
I'm still kicking myself because of a '71 Newport that I lost out on about eight years ago.
I was in a yard and had been pulling parts for my truck project when I spotted the Newport, about 10 minutes before closing time. OK, I thought to myself, I'll come back in 3 or 4 days and strip as many spare parts as I can get. Well, I went back three days later and couldn't find it anywhere. I had written down the five digit yard number when I first found it. I asked at the office and they checked on their computer. Nope, no record of it. He told me it had probably already been crushed! :cry:
It still makes me mad when I think about it because it had a nice grille and straight bumpers. It still had the tail lights and all of the marker lights, door handles, window cranks, instrument cluster, gauges and switches, ect. I haven't seen another one in any yard since. :frustrated: I did learn one lesson though, that I should have gone in the office the day I first spotted it and asked them to hold it for me for a few days.
Oh well, I'll know better the next time.

Thanks. A lot of the '69 parts would work, but some parts are '71 specific. Besides, I was thinking the same thing, that '69 is too nice to strip for parts.
Not to mention that I'm on a budget and that car is just too far away.

Don't forget Leon's Junkyard in Culpepper, Virginia.......bring your Confederate Flag!

WOW ! A veritable treasure trove. . . Is that a '51 Ford Victoria I see behind that tree ?
Which tree? LOL!
Leon's is set up by manufacturer and they give you a map of where everything is at. You have to give the map back when you leave.
This is a HUGE junkyard. It's all up and down hill and you can only walk in. Huge hills like Carlisle and the Mopars are all the way in the back of the yard. You'll need a 2 wheel cart to haul tools and parts. IMHO it's too rough to pull a wagon in. No ATV's / 4 wheeler's allowed in either.
Leon won't let in after 9 or 10 am. And if you are not out by 11:30 am (lunch) he locks you in the yard until 1 pm. You have to be out by 3 or 3:30 - whatever it says in the picture I posted. That was the rules the last time I was there.

Its the fourth picture down from the top of your post. The tree with the wheel/tire next to it.
I believe it's a 1950's Mopar. This junkyard is pretty good at keeping same manufacturer cars grouped together.
