Mopar graveyard

[Challenger in NC]

Hello All,

Found this salvage yard about an hour from my house-roughly 90% of inventory are Mopars. Pretty well picked over which is no surprise. I haven't walked a salvage yard since the mid 80's when I lived in California, it was a very relaxing and enjoyable experience. Most of the e-body cars were small blocks with a few big block B-bodies here and there. There was a 70 Grand Coupe Cuda with a fair number of parts on it including full dash and A/C parts. Also a slant 6 70 challenger with engine in tact I believe.

Hey, I live in Fuquay-Varina.    What is the address of this boneyard with all the mopars????

Wow, I had to look at the date of the post, are there really junkyards left with older Mopars that still have some parts left on them??? I spy vinyl top mouldings on a Challenger, etc...

Good find!

  Wow I just moved from South Mills, NC to Birmingham, AL. I searched for an old car salvage yard while I lived there and couldn't find one; CHALLENGER in NC does that yard have a name?  Thanks for posting your find I hope it helps fellow members get their projects moving along.

The salvage yard is called Billy West Racing Garage.

His obituary stated "Billy owned and operated Billy West Peedin's Garage for 48 years. He was a champion IHRA Drag Racer for 25 years under the name of Billy West. He was inducted into the East Coast Drag Times Hall of Fame in 2002."

  Thank You Challenger in NC    for a second there I thought that you found the one yard found by Hot Rod several years ago that had the totaled drag Cuda that Richard Petty crashed on the quarter mile when he took the short break from NASCAR; Hot Rod did a feature and said that the owner was a good friend of Richard Petty and that's how he got the car in his yard shortly after the crash. He collected a nice size collection of Mopars in his yard and most are complete not dismantled. Hot Rod never said where it was located except that it was not to far from the hills in NC.

I think this is where Brad visited too.  It's only 2  hrs from me.  I may have to go visit too.

By the pictures, I have seen a lot worse cars restored. Look up the address in google and you can see a satellite view of the salvage yard.
