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.
