I know of a place where there are nearly 700 Oldsmobiles in Alberta, The guy has alot of 442 parts cars ranging atleast from 65-72, I seen an old yellow school bus stacked with straight Oldsmobile cylinder heads, This is an amazing yard for anyone looking for Oldsmobiles from 1950's and up

 

What is the guy's phone number, does he to ship to the US.

 

Hey EKi,

this was the thread I was talking about in the newbie forum. There is a great Olds bone yard in the Naples area of Maine right on Rt. 302. it's called skips. while they specialize in 50's & 60's olds (esp the early 60's jukes) they have a few early 70's in various states of assembly. I've been hitting em up on and off for years.

 

What is the name of the place, or what city is it in? Is it possibly any of the sites listed at the top of this page?

I've been looking for skip's info all morning. I usually just stop in on my way through town. next time I do I will get the #. in the meantime, I found this one more or less by accident:

HolidayCoupe, Can you get a phone number because I'll be in Southern Alberta in the near future and would like to talk to this person.

 

Thanks 71supreme, Skips sounds like what I've been looking for. I guess you can't find places like that on your own.

Is there a good selection of mid-60's B-bodies?

I found the place on Google Earth, but you can't really tell what the cars are

 

Ya got my attention!! I'm in Edmonton. Send me a PM with the name and location please? Thanks

 

Why a PM? Why not just post it here? Why the secrecy?

 

Here you go guys 1 (780) 942 2559 Range Road 225 Gibbons, Alberta. Ask for Victor or Lorne Also theres another guy in the same area and he has a website of what he all has, mostly parts cars though, www.perrysprojectcars.com And if anyone else has some great info to share please do

 

Hey EKi,

That's great, what's nice about the place is they will work with you on what you need. I don't know about b bodies specifically, but their highest concentration of cars is 60's. there are about 60-80 cars there, all Oldsmobile. It's a fun place to cruise.

 

No secrecy, I live in Alberta and this place is just 1/2 hour away. Either way makes no difference does it? And who made you the PM policeman to decide whether I can ask for a PM? It was just a request for information. You're getting paranoid. So the location's posted on the site..... you happier now?

 

Hey, chill out. I didn't say you couldn't ask for a PM. I was asking why the information had to be PM'd at all. People usually PM when the information exchanged would compromise someone's privacy or in some other fashion reveal information not appropriate for public consumption. The location of a commercial junkyard didn't seem to fall into those categories.

 

That's fair, and trust me it's more than chilly right now (-15). I agree that a commercial junkyard isn't private domain and there's no compromises being made. I do enjoy your participation in the CO forums and value what you add to the community. But.....regardless of how you feel about my request for a PM, I really think that's my business to decide ok? If it really bothers you, maybe you will PM me with your private point of view. Personally, I don't think its worth the time or wear and tear on the fingers or keyboard. We both know what our points are and I don't see a good reason to flog this any further. I'm more interested in going to see the famous graveyard. Anything you're looking for when I go?

 

Maybe not in so many words, but I already said that I never said that it wasn't. I couldn't care less whom you PM or about what, and I never have cared, and I never will care. I'm sorry if my original question led you to believe otherwise. My original question wasn't even directed at you, specifically. It was a general question that happened to be triggered by your request to be told privately what should seemingly be public information. Again, I'm sorry if it came across differently.

Thank you, but no.

I was just @ skip's, 3 or 4 b bodies in the yard...

 

I have know him since July of 1989. He has alway been good to me!

 

So Allan have you gone to check it out yet???

 

Hey Craig!
Didn't hear from you when you were up doing your course at NAIT; hope it all went well.

Nope, Haven't been there yet. When I found out about the place it was Dec. I'm thinking of getting together with Ken (442much) and checking it out soon. BTW we just had a hellish blizzard come through yesterday. Maybe by the time you read this, you will be sharing our misery. It's fast tracking through the east side of SK right now. Winds were gusting to 90 km/hr and it was bitter. Today was better, high of 5 and winds gusting from 50 to 70.

Wolfman can eat his heart out. WE got norwesters better'n his.

Anyway, I'll let you know when I get out there. Kinda wanted to check out the Battlefords too. Heard there were some good boneyards down there. Just gotta borrow a truck and pawn a few things for gas money.

 

Allen while your there keep an eye out for any 66/67 stuff... I can always have more STUFF.....a whole 66 preferred

 

Sure will. Anything in particular you're looking for? And if they've got a whole (relatively intact) car, I'll take pics and let you know so you can decide how much you'd be willing to pay.

 

Now if I get this right there's "TWO" yards in Gibbons and both have a number of '50s, '60s, & '70s Olds in them? Are they brothers or they just two guys that seem to have the similar interests?

 

Not that I know of. What I was referring to is the yard in Gibbons and the Battlefords (in Sask). I'm sure there's plenty of wreckers on the Yellowhead between Edmonoton and N/S Battleford. Sorry if that caused any mixup. Could be a neat road trip though.

 

Vic is a member of our club and his yard is not the same as Ivan's (Perry's Projects). Ivan is also a member. Our club will be making a tour of the yards as soon as I set it up.

 

I have know Skip since July 1989, and he has always been good to me.
I'm only 8 miles from him. His Oldsmobile yard in really in Casco, but it is just a stone's throw from the Naples/Casco town line.
From Augusta, undeer and hour and a half drive.
Skip is an OCA advisor from 1960-61 Oldsmobiles, and I form 1968 W-34 Toronados.

 

I bought a trunk handle for my '57 98 from Ivan at Perry's project cars last winter...$60. plus the postage... nice shape, no dings...and he sent me two sample rocker moulding clips for free
