41chevy Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Are the Yaworski's still open? Haven't been there is a few years when it was scaled back. I got a need to see their Christi AC.

yarnall Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I was there two years ago. Dennis opened the doors and let me roam around. I do not remember an AC with the name Cristi on it. Most of the nice trucks have gone to Mahan's. Dennis said the saying around there is "anything with paint is gone". He does still have a few nice things. I spent a long time wondering around the two large boneyards. That was a lot of fun. I took a bunch of pictures. I will check for a Cristi truck. I thought I had posted some of them, but maybe not.

MikeChristi AC Crane Carrier was there in 2010 a lot can happen in a few years. I'll call when I'm home tomorrow. I'm delivering my old Chevy to Ledyard Conn next week and it's half way there so to speak.

j hancock Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I believe the Universal Crane crawler AC is now at Mahan's. I took a picture of it while it was still in CT in 2004. Sorry for picture quality. Is this the Christi? There was so much stuff there, I never felt like I saw it all. 2 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

Kind of hope that they didn't take this one. I know that the AK Crane Carrier went there. Anybody have an address or contact for Mahans?

thomastractorsvc Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Not sure of the who what why and where of the Gary Mahan collection or the reason behind it but the website needs to be updated and get rid of the ads and show some trucks.

41chevy Posted November 2, 2014 Author Share Posted November 2, 2014 Called and left message with the Yawoski's and E mailed Mahan's. Got home a few hours ago. Hit the N.Y.C. Marathon traffic which added 2 hours to go from Jersey to the Nassau / Queens line. No Email messages, no phone call from Haul of Fame, no Bull Dog Magazine and dropped my Ditty Bag and broke a 1/2 gallon jar of Pickled Eggs and a bottle of Virginia Gentleman. . . 510 miles to die falling out of my sleeper on the cold ground of L.I.
