A trip to Bills junk yard of parts
Last Friday I took a long three hr trip in PA to a place called Bills auto parts. He has many model A parts new and used. Some members ask me to take pictures. So I did. It was raining pretty hard and really didn't get any outside pictures.98% of his parts are inside. There was no sign out side but good old GPS got me right to his front door.
Some of my pictures didn't come out but what did I posted on a album. There was just pathways no matter were you walked. He has had model a since he was 15 and he is 65 now. https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/album.php?albumid=3191 I have his phone number on the cover album page. He does no internet. Has no catalog, you need to call if you are looking for parts or drive there. I'll answer any question if I can for you about his place but Bill will know more then me. PM me or email. Frank |

Re: A trip to Bills junk yard of parts
Two questions.
Will he sell parts? Does he sell parts are reasonable prices? Some guys either do not want to let anything go or have some wild idea of what the parts values are. |

I bought top windshield frame for my 1930 briggs/ a rear back door / a window garnish , for the glass and below garnish for trim / and it cost me $325 I think there was something else but can't remember right now. |

Re: A trip to Bills junk yard of parts
Answer is yes and yes......I'm restoring an identical car to Pennies.... Have ordered several times. It takes time during his busy period to get a part(s) though, Bill's pretty much a one man show - an honest operator.

Re: A trip to Bills junk yard of parts
Can you tell me where in PA this place is? I'm planning to be in PA in the next month or two and might like to check it out for some parts.

Re: A trip to Bills junk yard of parts
Bill Haberer of Bill's Model A acres is in Watsontown, Pa which is right off rt 80 near Williamsport. Bill is a nice guy, who buys, sells, and trades new and used Mod A parts and whole cars. He has a couple of large barns full. Sort of a "Berts" of the east.
His phone # is 570-538-3200 Terry Last edited by Terry,NJ; 04-17-2014 at 06:55 AM. |
