Junkyards in and around Denver

[Conrad283]

I didn't quite know where to post this.

For those that have project cars (240sx, 300zx, etc): Where is there a decent junkyard? Are there any u-pull it's?

Thanks

There are a few junk yards at 2151 W. Radcliff Ave. You can only get there from the Santa Fe frontage road south of Red and Jerry.

My experience is that they don't have newer model cars and when they do, the prices are about the same or even higher than new products. But it's still fun to walk the lot.

There is one off I-25 north, it's in Dacono just north of the Colorado Speedway.

Check the Denver yellow pages under "Automobile Parts - Used". You'll find lots of yards. Though not in Denver, I like Andersons in Greeley. They've tended to have a few more later models on occasion.

[hattrick3518]

is andersons off of highway 34?

if so, i drive by it every day, i have been contemplating stopping by for quite some time. might be able to find a shift boot

[gboone]

Andersons is actually just off Hiway 85. Turn east onto 8th and it's about a mile down on the right. I think they're closed on weekends though.

there is a u pull it in denver, the springs, and aurora. denver and colorado springs have 240s aurora doesnt have anything lol

[MyFairlady]

anyone seen any Z's at the ones in denver or north of there?

[Emericask8er7439]

pull up the u pull and pay website they have inventory of the cars in the lot. its kinda nice lol

[aaronscomp]

yep i just check inventory everyonce in a while when they get something i like i go look there was a s13 in one of them in denver with a sr swap a few weeks ago

[Emericask8er7439]

no ****in way are you serious? what all did you grab off it? i would of bought so much even if i didnt need it. Could always sell it

[jdms(e)x]

shoulda just bought the whole damn swap it woulda only cost you like 500 or some ****

[Emericask8er7439]

cheaper then that. Motors from pull and pay are only like 200

[aaronscomp]

i couldn't make it down to get it my friend was down there he didn't have any money he just showed me pics of it. i couldn't get it because the roads were to bad so it could still be in there and if it is i got dibbs lol jk

[Emericask8er7439]

i just went and checked inventory and the only u pull and pay that has a 240 is the springs and its an 89

[jdms(e)x]

yeah but sidemount intercooler, harness, radiator, turbo, downpipe, ecu that would equal some monies

[Emericask8er7439]

true true. Damnit i wish there was a way of checking without actually driving down there. If it was me even if i didnt have money i would of pulled the motor, everything i would need, and hid it somewhere in a car that wouldnt get attention but wouldnt be taken to get crushed either lol

Agreed. For the most part everything there is generally pretty old and sits in the yard for quite a while, but every once in a while something new will show up, and they charge pretty much the same. One day a wrecked 2002 Maxima SE showed up, just off the cluster, MAF, ignition coils, and some various interior pits and pieces, I made a killing. Not to mention I snagged all the injector clips for my FBJC100's.

It's pretty rare that they get something new and nice (by nice I mean, not a 2008 base model kia), but when they do you have to be on top of it because they get stripped down to nothing fast.

do you know whats left of it? or is it completely stripped?the 240s in denver usually last awhile but the ones in the springs get stripped ridiculously fast

[aaronscomp]

hmm i hid the 5speed, bought all the 5speed parts, its pretty much gutted already it got stripped the first day it was in there the 5 speed might still be there not sure though

[Emericask8er7439]
