If you happen to get in touch with this guy and need for me to check out something for you (if I am closer to the yard), feel free to PM me and I won't mind taking some extra pics or giving you my opinion.

All the best in your search!
One of our daughters lives fairly close. So due for a visit. I saw two pictures and the cars probably have been there a long time. I did notice the fenders looked good on what I saw. It is not the conventional wrecking yard.

If worse comes to worse I will try getting the son in law to check out the place. Or at least give me his perspective. I really have to talk to this guy as something is up. He claims he sells parts but the cars look complete.

All those fenders should have been long gone this far north. I will of course keep you informed yet it is going to take some time I suspect. I am not paranoid by nature. I just have a suspicion something is not quite right. I hope I am totally wrong. I knew this guy existed years ago. I also agree buyers can be a problem. I do not fit into that group..

To put it bluntly. How could the cars in general look pretty well complete if he has been selling parts for years? Plus the no response when I suggested I might be up in that area this spring. The other possibility is the pictures he has up may be very old.

Actually I will try again today to contact him. I preferably want a phone number. He could be away of course has not slipped my mind.

If I cannot get him. I will give you the information to try in a week or two. I estimate he is about 250 miles from Toronto.
