At first I was really frustrated with the opening hours, if the bank is open on a Saturday morning it's closed on Monday etc... But hey, why not? I'm only jealous. Back on topic, I have developed a passion recently for all things American and wagon like. I doubt whether my traveller Mk2 Transit would drag that Chrysler back without developing some form of terminal pinto meltdown... Never really paid attention, but is there that much American stuff lying around over there? Saw some down south, but there's never any over in Normandy. |

What kind of condition/price do things like that white 1970/1970 Plymouth Fury station wagon or the blackish 1973 Chevy Caprice go for? they both look like worth saving... Obviously everything looks OK in a photo...

The blue one with the squinty lights? Dodge Daytona.
Crazy yard. What is it with the French and Yank cars?
For UK Yanks in scrappies, spottedlaurel is probably your man as I think he lives quite near a US airbase. Unfortunately Greenham Common closed over 10 years ago so there are no Yank tanks in any of my local yards.

Two of the biggest US bases - Mildenhall and Lakenheath Best yard for Yank Discards is the one at Beck Row but they know the value of stuff and aren't cheap |

There used to be a top yard in Barnsley but after the end of the cold war I doubt it's still there.
There's a guy who lives in Crookes in Sheffield who buys loads of clunkers from Menworth Hill, the USAF listening post near Harrogate. He had a Bug once that used to belong to a Radar op. bloke which came with its US plates - they read "ICU UFO" ;D

Hey Mr_B, anything there look saveable? Notice any decent Chevy S10s / late El Caminos? |
