The B & M Classic Ford Story

More than 20 years ago, Lincoln Towing operated a wrecking yard on S.R. 9 in Woodinville, Washington, about 15 miles northeast of Seattle. Later, a son of the owner realized that Mustang parts were becoming high in demand. Their inventory of wrecked vehicles soon changed to mostly Mustangs, Cougars, Capri's and other classic Fords. As such, they started a subsidiary known as Wild West Classic Mustang Ranch.

Over the years the inventory of wrecked and unwanted cars grew to more than 450 Mustangs, of all vintages. To accommodate the increasing influx of vehicles, some would be stripped and the parts would be stored. The Ranch became an icon, and was well known throughout North America, Australia, and other countries. To further expand their offerings, the Ranch started offering reproduction and NOS Mustang parts.

In 2001, a yard hand, his younger brother and their father purchased the Ranch from the Lincolns, and continued the tradition of supplying used, reproduction, and NOS Mustang parts. In 2004, the Ranch and other area businesses were forced to give up the land which they occupied to make room for a waste treatment facility. At that point, The Ranch stripped all of the vehicles, which were later crushed, and warehoused the parts in the neighboring city of Monroe, situated on Highway 2 - approximately 15 miles east of Everett. The younger brother had bowed out of the business just prior to the move to Monroe. In the mean time, the remaining brother remarried, and family obligations caused him to give up the Ranch. The Ranch closed its doors forever on October 31, 2005.

It was on this day that the inventory was sold off completely to a pair of hobbyists, one of which had been a customer of the Ranch and friends with the owners and yard hands. B&M Classic Ford was thus born. Rather than relocate the huge amounts of inventory, the new partners decided to stay in the same location as the Ranch, though a certain amount of cleanup and restructuring was required. Four months later, B&M Classic Ford opened its doors to the public with this goal in mind: to provide one-stop-shopping to classic Ford hobbyists at competitive prices.
