Warhoops Junkyard

[Burd]

Anyone else ever go to Warhops?
We would go once a year to check out the cars. Shame, it’s all gone now. I remember picking on a 1970 Camaro for my buddy. It was on the bottom of a stack of cars. Lol I went in to get the console lock and thought, what the hell am I doing.
Check out the Hemings article on the place below.

Probably went there 40 years ago off and on, didn’t even know it was still around

It’s gone now. I believe they got bought out and now it’s a u-pull kinda junk yard

I only know of Warhoops being where Joe Bortz rescued Motorama Dream Cars from in the 80's, 25+ years after GM scrapped them there.

My last trip there was some kind of GM cars still in crates. Lol
I always like strolling through the Cadillac section, I opened the glovebox on an old caddy, there was like a wax paper envelope with 2 GM old style oil filter gaskets, I gave them to a caddy guy.

There used to be a AMC specialty yard at 14 & Coolidge. I went there to get Ambassador parts for my moms car.
