What you are looking for is rare. There are Westys and Cabriolets out there that look like they should be in junk yards selling for many thousands!

The biggest (according to them) on the west coast is Campbell Nelson in Seattle. You were at Bry's in Seattle, also a good yard but they quickly strip cars and sell the hulks for scrap. Too small to store many rebildables, but a good yard to do business with. Also try Fitz European in Woodinville, WA.
