I was at one of my FAVORITE places today ( junkyard photos )

I rode down to my favorite old scrap hole and was looking for a few parts for a GOOD friend of mine and took a few photos ....

This is just a sample of the junk they waste. I could make a real good living on eBay selling what they crush, bust or destroy.

The 59 Ford is for enenjo ... he told me one time he had never seen more than 3 or 4 57 - 59 Fords with the rear ends under them . This guy has a least a dozen .

 

How about saving a few Ford convertibles ??

 

Do not like BIG Fords ... how about a few Falcon convertibles ???

 

Do NOT like Fords ... OK ... a few other makes ... Cadillac anyone ?
Maybe a GM or a small Mopar ?

 

Old stuff just*****tered around ...
I did not feel like walking a LOT ...
It was 95 plus with the Humidity at 90 per cent ...

 

Everyone says that 9 inch Fords and the 5 lug V8 Maverick/Comet rears are impossible to find ...

Just have to know where to look ...

More later ...

 

One for my friend ...

 

If that Caddy has the "De ville" scripts on the back quarters, you might want to grab them, only the Conv. had Capital "D"s in De ville, and the restorers love 'em.

 

Nice...looks like a lot worth saving...

Thanx for the photos (and memories)!

Guess I need to get up that way to check that place out. when its not snake season...

 

I saw a Rattler today as big as my arm ... and 6 - 7 feet long ...

 

Nice pictures. That yard looks like the stuff from the yard where I bought my present project. Could be that the owner is just too "old school" and doesn't like doing the computer thing, so they just sit, waiting for someone to come to them. About crushing the cars, that is a mortal sin! Thankfully the yard I know is well organized, the guy knows what he has, which cars are project cars and which cars are parts cars, he has****les and the yard is clean.

 

I dont need ANY parts that bad. I'll skip the snakes too.

 

It's a Southeren thing ...
Rattlers are pretty common in the sand land.
Around old cars, pine trees and such.

You know someone somewhere would LOVE to have the rear glass from this Victoria ...

 

Is that Temples?

If so, tell 'ol Russell I said hi. He's kinda hit and miss on his prices, but has always taken pretty good care of me.

-Abone.

 

Russell is OK ... most of the time ...
They have 49 to 54 Chevys too ...

 

What is that in the middle of this pic? A tractor? Great Pictures, I saw a few I'd love to have..

 

hell i want the hole roof
how much
tom

 

You should do that! Thanks for sharing those pictures, eventhough it made me sad...

 

I do not know ... PM sent ...

hell ive seen more rust on cars here and at the shows than what ive seen in your pics..some nice pics

 

I'm in love with all those early 60's Galaxie Converts!!! Is the guy nuts on prices or what? It's amazing to see all those cars appearing so solid and complete to still be that way, unless he wants alot for them. The one is a 390/406 XL convert, they're worth a buck or two.

 

Nice clean fun...

Love running around a yard..but at 95 degrees...it ain't too productive..

tok

 

thanks for sharing ...... would love to walk around in that place.....

 

That's time warp there. Awesome place.

Based on your location I wonder if you need a radiation suit?

How's the pricing? I might want to take a hunting trip this fall.

 

I wouldn't mind picking over that vicky and the 41 and 48 Fords.

 

Just to let ya in on something,
that stainless fender trim on that Chevy panel is worth BigBucks. I've seen complete sets go for over a grand. It's real big with the lowrider crowd.

Most everything you have seen will end up here ... sooner or later. These guys mash over 100 cars a day ... 5 days a week. He has about 60 acres of cars/parts. It started as a parts yard over 30 years ago and has turned into a car crushing business ...

Most everything is for sale ... and the prices are NOT what I call unreasonable. They turn some of the older stuff to the side ... until steel prices gets higher $$$

The phone number is 803 - 359 - 9063 ask for Russell.
But please ... do not call just to chat ...
or blow smoke ... He is NOT STUPID ...

But he has a lot of stuff ...
Tell him you saw the photos Randy posted ... if you must call ...

 

DAMN THAT EVIL MACHINE! DAMN IT BACK TO HELL!
