Phoenix Car Junkyard Phoenix Buggy
This jaunty little Phoenix buggy is just the thing for checking up onthose secluded desert meth labs by the light of the moon. No need to fixthe flat tires--just bury the honker pedal and go-go-go!		 Phoenix Car Junkyard 1961 Ford Galaxie
We shook our heads in disbelief at the sight of this stripped '61 FordGalaxie Sunliner convertible because it lacked obvious damage and musthave been a very solid car when it arrived. According to lovefords.org,it is one of 44,614 built. Thus far the 9-inch rear axle and front cliphave been salvaged, but those arrow-straight quarter-panels looktempting.		 Phoenix Car Junkyard Chevy Fenders
Just one of dozens of rows of clean sheetmetal, this aisle of Chevyfenders highlights Desert Valley's amazing efficiency. Pricing, drivenby supply and demand, isn't exactly cheap, but you get what you pay for.
Phoenix Car Junkyard 1961 Chevy Impala
Desert Valley's take-no-prisoners salvage strategy is demonstratedclearly by this ravaged '61 Impala bubbletop. Though it was probably asavable car when it entered the yard, we take solace knowing that itssacrifice will likely help put several Impalas back on the road.		 Phoenix Car Junkyard 1959 Chevy Biscayne

Phoenix Car Junkyard 1962 Plymouth Savoy
The Desert Valley counter man told us they charge $800 for a completefloorpan, including removal. Some Max Wedge owner undoubtedly scoredthis '62 Plymouth's rust-free floorpan and the rear half of the '62Savoy two-door post in the background.
Phoenix Car Junkyard 1959 Chevy Biscayne Sedan Delivery
This '59 Chevy Biscayne sedan delivery represents the next-to-last yearof fullsize Chevrolet sedan delivery production. We couldn't dig up any'59 production numbers, but it's known that the '60 sedan deliveryproduction amounted to a mere 3,034 units, ending window-less wagonproduction until the arrival of the Vega Kammback in 1971. We'd turnthis one into a Special Super Turbo-Thrust (350 hp) 348-powered JuniorStocker tribute or a Ram Jet 283 Rochester fuelie phantom, bothfour-speed-equipped of course.
