This Mopar Salvage Yard has been hidden away in North Carolina for decades. I did an article on it for Muscle Car Review Magazine a few years ago. The owner Jackie was amazing, and I heard her Husband Billy was a great guy, I never got to meet him. Whenever I've been to the yard, they have always been kind and courteous with their time and wisdom. Sadly Ms. Jackie passed away a few years ago, but the yard is still up and running, selling cars and parts. But NO SHIPPING. All pictures and video are from 2018 and before.
Here's their Facebook page for more information.

My father told me a story of the neighbor who had a First year Hemi Chrysler and refused to sell it, he eventually fell trees onto it. Some people are nucking futs.

@seed_drill7135 Год назад

My old mechanic collected Metropolitans. I told him I’d just seen one with a tree growing through it. He said he’d tried to buy it 20 years prior, when it was salvageable.

I knew a lady who had a 71 340 4spd Duster sitting in her back yard. It belonged to her son, who died in a car accident 5 yrs before I first met them. I tried to buy it, but she would not part with it. Fast forward 20 plus years, the driver's door glass got broken, the grill was stolen, the radiator was stolen, the trunk lid with the factory spoiler was stolen, the carburetor was stolen, and the car was in really poor condition when she finally gave it away because her surviving kids were fighting over who was going to get it when she passed.

@@mikeadcock1592 My grandfather's best friend was in the hobby with him. He died in his 60's from cancer and his cars sat for decades because the family wouldn't part with them but weren't interested in them either. Fortunately, they didn't sit outside, though. Eventually, and tragically, his son developed the same cancer and died at a young age. His widow finally sold them as she approached her 90's.

Billy was my best Hero in high school, we raced bout every weekend at Kinston NC drag strip, and other local tracks. Billy would blow💥everyone away, and I was right behind him in my 70 Hemi Challenger, Billy would send me over to Richard and Maurice Pettys Level Cross "Old Shop" to get parts!, I have already bought and paid for 5 cars here at the secret location, yea I snached the 2 tone challenger, 2 Cudas, a GTX and Super Bee from "Billy West" and his Best Woman Wife in the World "Mrs Jackie" I can almost still hear Billy's Red Roadrunner riping past me on the strip with big open heders!, They will be rembered by all us locals forever!!

@AutoArchaeology Год назад

Yeah, I sadly never got to meet him. But Mrs. Jackie was an amazing individual!

@silverstar4289 Год назад

Glad they are selling things. They deserve to reap what they’ve sown. Saved a lot of great cars that will get into the hands of people moving the cars back to life.

That is what I heard, I sadly never met him. But was fortunate to meet Miss Jackie a few times.

Great video, Ryan. I had a lot of good times and made a lot of good memories at that place.

@704406bbl Год назад

I knew Billy. In 1998 I bought my lime green 70 Roadrunner from him and an air grabber hood. He was always nice as well as miss Jackie. He told me several stories about the early days. If I’m not mistaken miss Jackie was related to Mrs. Petty. I could be wrong but I think that’s correct.

@AutoArchaeology Год назад

That does sound familiar.

@sbckev4172 Год назад

I know of a yard like this up here in Michigan, all Mopar. I actually knew the guys daughter, I've only ever been back there once, he will never sell because to him, those cars are more valuable than money.

@AutoArchaeology Год назад

Sounds like a cool guy, or family! I'd love to document it.

Hey, do a video to help us sell these cars to save them..but keep the location a secret. At least this video tells you where they are.

Do they remove the part(s) you need, or does the customer need to do that themselves as well?

@AutoArchaeology Год назад

I believe both, but you can check with them. Their info in the description. They just don't ship.
