Can some of you post the names, or web sites of salvage yards out there that specialize in Mustang parts. I know that there are some out there (and I will post those that I have discovered) and I am sure that it would help all of us to locate those parts that we need.

  Small issue:  Some totally cleaned out a few years back when scrap metal prices peaked.

Your talking 50 plus years, most have been depleted and picked over.

Bumped into one 1/2 hour outside of LA border with Kiwi on our way to go dirt bike riding.
That was 6 years ago.
Yard would also rent cars to movie houses.
Posted a pic here and another member here chimed in he knew it too.
Can't recall other details.

One of the reasons to consider purchasing a good solid parts car (most often a coupe) built at the same time and plant as the car your working on. Often provides needed even correctly dated parts you need, multiple duplicate parts to pick from on in other areas of the car and the car/body can be sold/passed on to another builder once your done. Know some that purchased cars just to get a couple of difficult parts - dash pads, firewall pads and body panels come to mind.

Have seen some that pasted through four builders - each taking donor parts though the first buyer gets the majority and gains the most but all get a benefit

Just a thought for those in need.

Sadly, a bunch went to the "Great Salvage Yard in the Sky" when the dreaded "Clunker" buy-back program was implemented.  I'm sure there are more than a few of us "old geezers" on the Forum who are no longer restoring cars but who have a variety of parts left over or "squirreled" away.  If someone has a list of needed parts, suggest using the "Wanted to Buy" feature.  You'll be surprised at the response.

Denver colorado   biggest mustang yard left  3000 or so stacked on top each other but not open to public (unless u have a local connection)  u have to call and they pull the parts for you.

Ed is referring to Colorado Mustang. You are not allowed to walk the yard and pull parts, but tell them what you need and they will pull it for you and ship in a day. Ask for Mike, he has been there since the '70s and very knowledgeable

1+, Colorado Mustang is a good option.  They are very helpful and knowledgeable.

I have discovered Mustang Masters in FL.  Freddie has a very good selection of Mustangs, for parts.  He, and David are easy to deal with. I will recommend that you make sure that you have a good list of parts to order since there is a minimum shipping charge. But you do get your choice of quality, and you will pay extra for the very nice pieces.  https://www.mustangmasters.com/Home_Page.php

Here are a couple more that I have come across.  I have NOT dealt with them, so I cannot give recommendations either way.  If someone uses them, or has used them in the past, and would report back to the forum, I am sure we would appreciate it insight.

There is Rancho Mustangs in California    http://ranchomustangparts.com/     

In Connecticut, there Chuck and Eddies    https://www.chuckandeddies.com/

There's a guy in Southern Maryland, Mikes' Mustang's. He used to have literally a couple thousand cars. They made him clean out acres of cars. It was the spot to go for that odd OEM part to restore or find
Still around but much smaller
Look up Mikes Mustang Shop in Southern Maryland
Owned since 1971, now driven over 245,000 miles, makes me smile every time I drive it and it makes me feel 21 again.😎
