abandoned rods?

Sound like a place I used to go to called

Leon's billed as " the walkin man's friend "

great guy -unbelievable stash of old steel

got alot of parts for my impala there in the mid eighties

hope it;s the same place would be good to know it's still there
on the west side of 29 lots of old trucks
small stream running through the middle of the property
my buddy and I would spend all day there when we came down from
fairfax va. to find parts

Here's a couple taken a few yeas ago while I was in Hong Kong.
One is an old Jeep like wagon taken near the shore. The others were found at the top of a mountain slid slightly over the side. I don't even know how these got up there with no roads.

 

Isn't this that place in Bakersfield? looks real familiar

 

Here's some from texas.. I was in Stephenville jsut last weekend and I went to see if the shortened roadster was still there, but the lot was completely clean.. probably went to the crusher.

 

Here are some pictures I took a few years ago of a find up near King City, California, $100 buck apiece1

 

As a child I grew up in London, England through the sixties. At the first school I attended we had a worn out thirties British car parked in the playground for us kids to play in/on. Right next to the swings and climbing frame.
Not sure how todays health and safety conscious do-gooder's would view that!

 

Are you serious - that makes me a little ill...

 

That last pic is enough to make a grown man cry, lucky Im still just a kid at 34 so it was alright for me to cry.............
(Well, the other half said I was still a kid)

 

I need a map, directions , and a shovel!

 

Had a hippy flashback................... Yeah man, I can dig it!

(OK, piss weak..............)

 

Coolest thread in a long time!This rocks...........and makes me cry at the same time.

 

i offered to dig that shit out many a times that it has been posted. im moving out there soon and i hope he finally lets me..

For more...look up thread titled "old hot rod in woods"

 

This thread totally bummed me out.

 

Actually, I've enjoyed this thread, love vintage tin wherever found and old cars used as rip rap on canals and rivers knida nostalgic ya know before EPA, political correctness definately Corps of Engineers field expedient.

 

I've posted some of these before, but please don't pm me for directions. I'll give you a hint though, no one owns them and they're illegal to salvage. To be honest I dont know what Im looking at when I stare at old tin, if someone could tell me what the car with the yellow nose is, I'd appreciate it.

 

Car with yellow nose looks like a 40 or 41 Buick to me.

Awesome pileup rottenpop! alot of nice stuff in that pile, sad real sad.

 

I found this one while digging through some of my mom and dad's old photos. On the back it said: Midnight Meadows, Red River, New Mexico 1985. Wonder if it's still there. And no, my dad didn't bring it home.

 

NICE collection of old Government cars there. I wonder how many KIA telegraphs the 41 delivered?

 

thanks rottenpop....I'm going to have to seek counseling after seeing the last pic. I want my mommy!! *sucks thumb*
