Kind of a treat here for the car nuts. Laird is working in Phoenix this week and decided to go check out the Desert Valley Auto Parts yard from the show Desert Car Kings. He got to walk all over the yard and was nice enough to send pics. These are pretty cool. ENJOY GANG! Lets start off right, this was in the parking lot, neat color! 1967 Buick Skylark GS Convertible JFK Lincoln 70's 442's A perfect Plymouth Colt...HA! 1968 Pontiac Safari 1968 GTO 1966 GTO 1979 Dodge Magnum with T-tops Poncho Wagon...great lines! Look at that wheel....so cool! 1967 Pontiac Ambulance Big AMC Wayne's World Pacer, even the right color. Laird nabbed the interior door handles off this for his Pacer wagon. $15 each. They are pot metal and break easy.

Simply awesome! Here in the rust belt, I never even got to see cars like that growing up in the '80s. Thanks for sharing Mike.
DV does have alot of good cars but us locals avoid the place as much as we can. 4-5 hundred for a rust free fender is a little too much.
Did the pinto have a v-6? The ambulance is probably waiting for Barnett-Jackson Did someone famous ride in it.
MORE Arizona eye-candy from Laird. He went back to Desert Valley again this morning and just sent me all these. ENJOY! What are these?? Oh Laird's happy, more fishbowl AMC's Corvairs...even Cor-Vans!

What's with Noow Yoahk and all those Kojakmobiles there? I wonder how many of those cars are still left there
Sure it is all sad but at least they are still here and not turned into pathetic off shore foreign junk cars. Glad to see someone saved them for future life or for parts at least. Cheers.
