mustang salvage yard near Durham NC

[wscott00]

Does anyone know of any salvage yards near Durham NC that has remains of mustangs to pick at?

Im looking for 1967 or 1968 fastback pieces

Thanks

None.

How 'bout yards with 55/57 T-Birds and 57 Chebby verts? JK.

If anyone knew of any they'd be gone already cus they'd have all the parts, I suspect Virginia is high on the list though. You'd have better luck with people who specifically part out Mustangs, I think. Off the top of my head, Chris Stage has a massive stockpile of parts and is a really great guy.

Also - there's a guy in Oxford (forget his name) who parts out Mustangs. Never met him in person but I've heard he's a decent guy and there's some good stuff to be had.

There's a yard in southern NJ that has piles of Mustangs. Mostly junk, I'm sure, but there might be some decent pieces left in there.

Send him a PM. As Kelly said, he is a truly great guy.

Yep. Chris connected me with a guy who sold me a 1970 fastback roof pillar.

I can vouch for Chris Stage- if you really want something close- The guy Kelly H is talking about lists frequently on Craiglist (raleigh) His location will say oxford- I don't recall his name but rumor has it he has truckloads of stuff

Be aware there is another guy somewhere in that area that has been there for yrs but kinda has a reputation (not really a rip off reputation- more like a real bad attitude) Carolina Mustang?? (not sure about the name- but someone may know)Just for what its worth- never had personal dealings with them-but I recall reading some of the attitude the owner/manager had.

+1 for Chris Stage, he didnt have exactly what i needed and put me in touch with someone that did. thats going out of his way to help someone he has never met, stand up guy in my book.

On the subject of parts. How much of a savings can be had at a large car show. Will vendors charge thesame price for quarter panels, floor pans etc... as online.

[Kelly_H]

Yeah, Ray at Carolina Mustang is a real piece of work. I get along with him alright but a lot of others don't. He's a good resource and has taught me a lot of stuff but is a parts supplier and generally only has new parts (similar to CJPP or MU) instead of NOS. He's in downtown Cary which is right in my neck of the woods.

I'm glad to see that so many people like Chris, he really deserves it. One day I'll make it up to his boneyard to see all the crazy cars and parts he has!

About discounts from vendors at shows - I went to the Charlotte Auto Fair last fall and bought a set of door panels for Jane at the CJPP booth. Paid the exact same for them as I would have online. So from my experience - no discounts. Results may vary by vendor though, as CJPP sells everything at the very cheapest it can with free shipping anyways.

There is a guy in Oxford that I sometimes go to, I'm in Raleigh. Just look on Craigslist, he always posts mustang stuff from Oxford. He has a whole yard with nothing but 60-70's mustangs. If he doesn't have it, Ford didn't make it.

[PonyDoc]

Chris is definately +1. He's near Roanoke. There's also Don's Mustangs in Charlotte. He had a larger yard until the county found out and wound up crushing somewhere between 700-800 mustangs. he still has acres of them hidden and a lot of parts cars. he also has a very early K convert in serious need of resto. It's weird, as all 3 VIN's are 5F08K_99XXX. There's a number missing on all 3! Dates around shell place in in June-July.
704-361-4222 He's been doing them since 1964, ran around with the Hendricks on dirt tracks, and is not far from the Speedway. Very knowledgeable and very honest.

Do you know of this first hand? I'm working in the south jersey area right now and I can always use something. Do you know where it is?

Thanks guys. Some people confuse me with Virginia Classic Mustang. For me this is just a hobby. I have a very full time job and a family but I still try to help out fellow Vmfers... I get a lot of satisfaction out of having parts on other people's cars. I have literally shipped them all over the world.

I have sure seen the original mustang parts dwindle over the years. I use to find parts cars all the time and could get them for $250 complete. The last one I paid $1000 and it didn't have any good sheetmetal on it.
