I've been thinking a 1-Stop shop for all things 72-79 like Blue Oval does or the Cougar Farm.

If it was just acreage...I have about 275 acres. But I'm having problems being allowed to bring a sixth vehicle here unless I get rid of something. There are many guys on here that have larger inventories than I, but that argument doesn't fly well.

Were are all these 77-79 rancheros located.

I like how you think

Architects are natural problem solvers.

I remember that Torino motherload of parts in Oregon...I wish I had $8500 for all of it...

Price tag was only 300,000.   It had three or four buildings on the property with electric service and running water in some buildings.     Just saw an ad on Craig's list the other day for a yard crushing everything out. Mostly 50's- late 70's.   Can't seem to find the ad again

Might? have been "Buick Bonery" in Sacromento, Calif. Had heard that that yard was teetering on the edge of being closed down and crushed out. There also was another thread on the V8buick site regarding a yard in the midwest (Nebraska) that crushed out most of their old Buicks. they took a much more proactive approach though, stripping and or saving certain parts, and saving a few more high interest cars, before the general crush out.   

I could use some parts too...

Salvage 1971 Torino GT convertible H code, current bid $5000

Salvage 1979 Lorain built Ranchero H codes

Burnt 1972 GTS fastback on IAA

But there is a really nice 73 formal that runs and just needs a new front clip.
