- Tour of the Wildcat Auto Wrecking in Sandy, OR. They are one of the largest mopar specific "junkyards" in the PNW and possibly even the nation. I call it Mopar heaven.

Thanks and I hope you enjoyed.
As an Aussie we love our A bodies. I have a 1979 CM VALIANT GLX, 4sp, 265 Hemi 6. Owned over 30 Aussie A bodies in my 63yrs.
Some say I need help...
Cheers.
Haha, it’s a sickness, but that’s awesome. That 1966 Plymouth valiant convertible you see in the beginning of the video is actually getting shipped out to Australia some time soon, along with a couple other A-bodies.
Expensive stuff.
A parking lot of great projects, hopefully some more of those gems get resurrected. What a collection of parts and projects, well done to them for such organization and attempts to preserve those that are salvageable and thank you so much for the tour. We're I a rich man I'd be tackling one of the old 'Cuda's, man they have nice lines imho. Place should have some sort of motor-head museum tour thingy :P Great vid!
Yep, I hope to be able to save a couple myself here soon. He always talks about selling the place and I'd love to be able to buy it an catalog the collection/ get all the parts and cars out of the weather.
😂 Seen a couple trespassers on their ! A Chevy & a Ford ! 😂
That's good as gets pla e Guys are the Huys been deLong back n forth 30+years!
Lancers, and Valiants were offered with the 3-speed floor shift and the 3-speed Torqueflite.
NO 4-speeds were offered.
22:20 Brady Bunch ?
4:00..that Dodge truck looks like a '77..has the clear parking lights/turn signals..'78 was the same except they had amber parking light lenses...'79-'80 had a different grill and a completely different hood that was used up until the end of the line in '93, and they reverted to the parking lights in the panel below the grill, so definitely not a '79...
79-80 had stacked rectangle quad headlights. 81 was a cab and dash change .
@@garyhouse4432 '79-'80 had stacked quad rectangular headlights for the top of the line models, and optional on some midline models...standard models still got round single headlights(which are much more common to see) and a grill setup similar to the '72-'76 models. Very similar to how it was done on the '81-'87 Chevy trucks...
Need a rear bumper and mounts for 1950 dodge coronet?
Where is this place lol I need one or two of those
12:13 - 1964 Chrysler New Yorker 4 door sedan. The 63 and 64 full size are the most ignored Mopars. They share most of the body with forward looks (just without fins), and are just not yet designated "C" in the VIN, even though most of the mechanicals are common to pre-fuselage C bodies. The perfect example of "rare but nobody cares" cars. Sad.
Biggest yard new Yorker north west MN . Mopar Mel Legend of Time
Yeah you know it's funny have the cars you think are for speeds will built before Chrysler even offered a four-speed transmission those are three on the floors
Ya my bad, it's just my way of calling them a manual. I see Chrysler didn't start using the 4-speed A833 till 1962 so you are correct, the lancers are all 3-speeds.
my 65 dart slant 6 had over 500.000 trouble free miles befor i gave to neighbor he daily drove for 2 years then gave to another guy
Haha ya I’ve heard them called million mile engines for a reason. I’d love to build one for horsepower. The owner of the yard has a aluminum slant six that I keep trying to get him to part with.
Are any of the Lancers for sale
Yep, I believe all of them are, they are listed on their website if you google wildcat auto wrecking. A 1962 Dodge Lancer Gt is one of my dream cars so I hope to buy one off them in the future.
Where is this yard located
That is what I want to know, location.
This is Wildcat Auto Wrecking outside Sandy, Oregon, which is about 40 minutes east of Portland, Oregon.
Where is this at?
Located just outside Sandy, Oregon, about 40 minutes outside Portland, Oregon. Name is Wildcat Auto Wrecking.
@mopar_magic thanks for the response wish it was closer

I just don't get stacking cars on top of each other, even if they are parts cars..just destroys them, if you are so hurting for space you have to stack them, time to get rid of some...I wonder how old the guy is that owns these?...if he is getting on in age, this stuff will almost certainly be crushed when he passes...seen it time and time again. All the heirs want is the property cleaned up to sell, and as quickly as possible..very few want to take the time required to actually try to sell the cars and parts....
They stack them so they don't have to crush them unlike some yards. I'd rather see a dent in the roof of some of them than cubes of metal sent to China to be turned into EV's. The guys who owns the place (business) is always willing to sell them instead but the demand is never quite in line with supply.
PNW?
What is PNW?
Not much there for the real Mopar guy!
Haha ya mostly A-bodies at this point but they do have a ton of parts for B and E bodies in their collection. Think he said they have 20 sets of doors for 1968-1970 chargers!
The only interesting cars was from the 50's, and the only ones you don't want us to see 😊
Yeah, concentrate entirely on cars from the 60's, 70's, and even early '80's..even common ones...and just walk on by the '50's DeSotos, Chryslers, etc...would have been much more interesting to see those than Dodge Diplomat wagons and '79 300's....
I can try to get a more in depth video of those when I go back but I am completely at a loss when it comes to those and I'm sure it would get annoying listening to me try to talk about them. I'll definitely get a video and just overlay some music if you guys are interested,
@@mopar_magic Thank you if you could video those..all the truck's, too, would be much appreciated...I'd rather hear the birds and the wind than some music overlayed on it, though...from the comments on other videos with music, I'm not alone when it comes to not liking music over videos...
@mopar_magic when are you planning on going back to this yard? If you can please get a more in depth look at the cars in 38:48 more specifically the 39 dodge coupe that is the 4th car in that row. I’m planning on buying it and I would greatly appreciate a closer look! Thank you.
@mopar_magic please let me know thank you
All scrap 😂
Where is this place??
