Event Coverage Junk Yard Crawl in Texas

well it was my birthday a few days back and I wanted to take a day off and check out some stuff up in Sunset,Tx. It's all for sale and will give the guy's contact info if you need. He does advertise and get new stuff in as I thing the 53/54 Chev HRTP....if I guess the year wrong.....blame the briars...

 

Looks like a cool place to wander for a while.

 

Cleanest looking junkyard I ever saw.

 

Iam moving...

 

Hey, that's about 45 minutes from me. I need to go check that out.

here's a few more....he has a lot....15 acres...

 

he's right off the exit to Sunset going north on 287....just over and by the railroad tracks...

 

funny how there might be one part left that someone wants......I liked the "rack".....maybe some one needs it???

 

hope Bruce doesn't see this.....and the Buick hardtop had a three on the tree.....kinda rare? he has a few 1958 Buicks if any one needs some chrome...

 

Heck of a way to spend a weekend ! Hell I wouldn't mind getting a rack for my lady's 57 Chevy wagon.

 

Did I see a 30-31 fordor model A?What would he want for that?Got a sister in law in Weatherford,might need a road trip.

 

the A is not pretty.....but it's the only one he's got....

 

here's a few more...I didn't ask about prices - he was actually pulling parts as I think he is a one man one dog operation.....just looked around and took pics....the 60 Impala was nice and looked like it had already given up to much factory a/c car...

 

really wanted the MercO Matic ......emblem......

 

internationals with one strange comet....and Caddies....the 60 coupe didn't look that bad...

 

Is that a 250 chevy in that comet?

 

If you were to guess...about how many vehicles does he have on the 15 acres?

This junk yard looks like the one that gas monkey garage got the short VW van from for that episode ... sweet clean steel as far as the eye can see.

 

i love seeing photo(s) like this .....

 

Any snakes under that stuff?

 

Place would be full of rattlers when it is warm outside.

 

yes Henry29......and Hunter.....he does have some later stuff.....has about 6 rows at least a football field long.....not sure about GM being there....he's not braggin type of guy.....as for snakes the briars/stickers are all over so not sure if they like that kinda terrain...

 

them stickers kept me at bay.....this was supposed to be a car shot....

 

here's his contact info....didn't see this car....not many 30's....some 40's alot of early 50'S mopar and others and 60's stuff.....he's been buying and selling for about 30 years and isn't cheap but fair...

 

Cool - Thanks

Thanks, man I see some stuff I need.

 

I'm going there on the 28th so if anyone needs something that lives near Houston or somewhere along my route, let me know. I'm going out 290 and then up I35 to Ardmore, Oklahoma. Car trailer will be empty on the trip up.
