  1. I was visiting a friend in Albany this summer and we visited this yard outside Troy.

    :eek: O.M.G!!! There is some very nice stuff just wasting away there - the conditions look just too conducive for rust.
    I imagine that some of the ones with the leaf litter piled up to the underside of the doors would not have much of a floor left in them
     
  4. There was 2 or 3 30's coupe's that have been race cars.

    Most of the cars was very rusty, but I suppose they have been there for a long time.

    The 35/36 3w coupe is worth saving.......even if it was an old race car.

    Also, that maroon 67/68 Mustang fastback shell and the white 69 Mustang with "little boss" painted on the back. I'd check the VIN on that whire car to see if it is a REAL boss car!

    Any one notice the 55 Merc wagon tail lights in the 56 ford 2 door? Worth more that the car it's self.

    That '55 Victoria with the Mercury wagon tail lights doesn't look all that bad. Top of the line just under the Crown Vic for that year.

    I have friends in that area and they never told me about that place...
     
  15. I'm here in South Carolina, but I'm gonna' take a guess that this is, or used to be, Waite's Garage on Snyder's Lake Road outside Wynantskill. Across the street was Pine Bowl Road which led into the OLD Pine Bowl Speedway. It's been closed for at least 30 years.

    I had one of the Waite's as a student in my high school shop cl*** in the early 70's. Think his name was Johnny and he dated a cute little blonde, think her name was Betty Abrams.

    If I were showing these pictures, the last picture would have been of my trailer with that 3W on it in front of my shop. You need to go back and find out what it'll take to get that car out of there.

    The Merc wagon tail lights in that '55 and the roof off of that 67/8 Mustang fastback would be good pieces too for resale. Make yourself a profit and save some good stuff.

    Just when I complained that all the good stash was way out of reach in places like Cali, Washington, Utah, Iowa, Texas, and Oklahoma, etc., this right-coast treasure island surfaces. Good stuff!

    35-36 3-window coupe! You really need to work on getting that out, at least the doors (and maybe the top and sections surrounding it for a 5 to 3 conversion) if nothing else. I like looking at these threads, but usually don't post in them, but man, oh man, you just don't see those very often.
