I'll be in or near Florence Ky(Cincy, Oh) this Friday & wanted to see if anyone knows of some good yards or cool car places to hit instead of shopping? Name & number if you've got it?

Packrat, when I was at Toyota HQ in Erlanger, there was a pretty good yard in Hebron called Bessler's UPull and Save or something like that. Go from Florence up Turfway around the airport counterclockwise, go across the top of the airport heading west, through the light at Hebron, and you're there. Had some decent stuff ten years ago, I looted a 68 Toro of its telescoping column and such....and it got squashed the next week!

Main yards in Cinci are around Kellogg Ave, taking 275 counter clockwise from Erlanger, then dive off right once you cross the river. Those yards were sketchy; I've never inspected cars stacked on top of each other, and don't want to again.

I've been there and was going to suggest that one. My son and I were down there for a show a few years ago. We stopped at the Taco Bell there in Florence and we were looking for things to do since it was to early to get our hotel room. I found it on google maps and it was a few blocks away so we went. We thought the prices were high, but then we're used to our local yard that is really cheap. Don't think they're gonna give you a hand full of relays for a buck, they're going to want your left arm and a kidney for those. Ask me how I know.

Their website is http://upullandsave.com/, this shows it's location. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Bessler's+U+Pull+and+Save/@39.0603817,-84.7403603,13.41z/data=!4m5!1m2!2m1!1sauto+salvage!3m1!1s0x000000000 0000000:0x1f2fe337ef60424f

I hit Besslers first & didn't find anything older than about '82. So next I took Kodas advise & went over to Kellog avenue. I stopped at Jacks auto & he told me he did have some '70's Oldsmobiles on the far right near the fence. I found many late '70's to mid '80s Deltas & 98s. Also found a '69 Delta custom coupe with a 455 & decent interior pieces. Right next to it is a '75 98 sedan. There were about 6 other old G.M. cousins around there also & here is what I came out with.
