So I was at my favorite junkyard a couple of days ago... found some much needed parts for the '65 'lass... thought I would take a couple of photos for all you junkyard junkies out there... Now me being originally from Detroit.. I know you rust belt gents are gonna drool.... Best part? this is just the 60's to mid 80's yard.. there is a 30's to late 50's as well! Anybody ever need a specific part, let me know...

Almost forgot.. they have EVERYTHING HERE... not just Oldsmobile...

Might take up on your offer as it is HARD to find parts for my 65 Cutlass in Thailand

I remember when the Chicago yards used to be that cool. Now everything has been yuppied up and snuffed out.
Some doofus always cuts their finger and tries to sue, or the EPA cracks the whip.

Nowadays, they have 1990 and newer stuff, and It's all warehoused and bar coded. You get to sit in an air conditioned office and watch TV next to a few fishtanks while a forklift driver pulls your part from the shelf.

Nice Mall We should all go over there and help them tidy up a little straighten things up and get their house in order, put things in their proper perspective, sort out the gene pool and then have a margarita or three!!!

Next time you are visiting the place see if you can find a 1969 full size 88 or 98 or car with front end intact. I need stone shields and they are hard to find since they were plastic and like mine broke a lot.

If they have a '46 or '47 two door there I would appreciate a few pictures. I may need a few body parts.

I wish they had more junk yards in Washington that had some older cars in them. They all stop in the mid 80's now. Not good for my 71

DVAP is really impressive. I was out there scoping out bodies in Jan as a replacement for mine. Didn't end up finding anything that I could use, but I was mezmerized by the sheer number of cars they have there. They don't just have one or 2 '68 442/Cutlasses to choose from, they have something like 10. And it's like that for most makes, models, and years. A definite stop for anyone visiting the Phoenix area.

They're not cheap, but they definitely have a lot of stuff.

I will check next time out there for you Wolfman... do you want an entire front clip? or just those plastic stone guards? Can you post a pic of what they look like? As for the '46 two door.. that would be at a different yard in Casa Grande... I do not get down that way much.. 1.5 hours south of Phoenix where I am at.. but if I do.. I will look.

Where is that yard?

wolfman98

Just need the stone shields , left and right. they are the ones that go from nose to the headlight support. not the ones that go all the way across under the headlights.

It is in North Phoenix, off of Happy Valley road and 7th Ave. About 8 minutes from my house!!

We don't have anything like that around here. If we did I would need a new building to hold all I would bring home

Here is their website http://www.dvap.com/. They have a list of all the parts cars they have. Right now they have only 1 1948 and its a 4 door.

Wow could spend a week in that nice yard.

I'm looking for rear interior 1/4 panels (window crank panel) I just need the metal uppers. They need to be out of a 70-72 cutlass convert. I bought new unassembled rear panels, only to find out my panels are aftermarket and the uppers (plastic) are rotten. Cant fasten window fuzzy, its just like brittle. How often do you get to the junk yard. mpls, mn. mike

67 Cutlass

DVAP has cleaned up their site since I was last on it a few years back. Much better website.
I want one of everything! Especially the 67 Vista!
