'55 98, '70-'72 cutlass, plus more cool cars in a yard.

I've been going to this yard for years pulling nice parts off the Oldsmobiles that come through here, & they keep getting more new(old) cars in somehow.
On my most recent trip I found this '55 98 4 door. It says it's a '55, I don't know for sure. It says it runs & shifts. They will sell the whole thing, but didn't give me a price.
They also have several '70-'72 Cutlass but most of the nice/clean parts have been picked from them.
Some of the scores from this visit include a tach & gauge dash from a '67 charger, a tach & gauge dash from a '68 chevy truck, & a set of gauges from a '64 Malibu SS.
Let me know if anyone needs parts from the '55 or any of the other cars, I may make another trip after christmas.

It looks like the '55 might have the rear speaker grille I need! Any chance you could retrieve it?

I don't get to see anything like that out here in my yards. You need to take me along just so i can look and drool. i could help you pull parts. I do have a yard you would like to come look at but the Olds stuff is mostly picked through.

Wow and that yard is in Indiana?? good stuff. Theres a yard up here in Harrison Mi called Foxes and they have a bunch of old stuff also. But the owner wants to sell the cars complete even though you would need a skid loader and chain saws to get them out and they may fall apart if yanked on. Will your guy sell stuff? Also, I may have already asked you, do you have the sheet metal trim that goes below and up the front of the side windows for a 70 Vista Cruiser?-on the inside. I think they are all the same on any 68-72 GM a body wagon. They're painted interior color. Thanks Greg

Greg,
I think I looked for those trim pieces in my inventory a while ago & did not find them, but I'll look again.

Allan,
I'll get those pix for you soon & will have everything ready for pick up.

Hey would you be able to divulge where this yard is? I'm not too far from Indy and I'd love to see if I could salvage some parts for my 70 Cutlass S from there.
