How big is your pull a part?

Am I blessed by the size of this one or is it small?

Wow, I wish! The one closest to me is not even half as big. Only has 1 or 2 benzes at any given time.

Most of the ones I visit have cars stacked on top of eachother. Your's looks like a shopping mall parking lot. Lucky.

Winmutt- you are golden. Someday I need to make a field trip to Atlanta like Gen. Sherman did. I have 3 in my area. The one in Daytona Beach is the largest, but has been going downhill since being taken over by that scum-sucking conglomerate LKQ. There is a new one by the Orlando airport that has the potential to be the size of the one you posted, but its not there yet.

Mine has really been lacking in 123/126's lately. Last month only one 300D (78) and 2 240D..... Nothing so far this month. Maybe once it starts getting cooler....


tgingrich: nice, next time I am in dallas....

actually you should try this in Dallas, actually a few block from the first link.
There are more than 15 pick and pulls of that size within a mile!!!

Slightly OT, but you guys in Dallas and Atlanta- do you ever see any rust free old Ford trucks in those boneyards?

I cannot find a good long bed for my '67 F-100 pickup ( "bumpsides" 67-72 were the same) to save my soul around here. It would be worth it to me to go maybe even as far as Dallas to find one, if I was sure I could find one.

I am currently trying to make one decent one out of two, but it's not going too well....

I drove to dallas to visit those junkyards and was throughly disappointed. Everyone of them there said that they had none, and most of them charge you just to walk into the back to look at the cars.

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Apple+import+dallas&ie=UTF8&ei=TlO6RrzBNpWQiwGerdnKCw&cd=2&cid=32630333,-97204088,17372326113835305761&li=lmd&t=k&ll=32.631153,-97.204059&spn=0.00314,0.005021&z=18&om=1


Apple import salvage had about 10 w123's, 15 W126's, and many W115's and W116's. best place i had found in dallas, the rest were a waste of time.

One of the best Benz yards I have been to is Wileys Imports located in Memphis Tennessee. Easy to find on the web, http://wileyimports.com/ they are an exclusive benz salvage yard. I spent a whole day there just walking around like a kid in a candy store!!
Don't know how big it is compared to others.
