    I've wanted to go through this junk yard my whole life. It is off limits, and NOTHING is for sale.

    Don't ask where it is.

    Just enjoy the pics. Some are kinda blurry, there from my phone. Sorry.

    Everything is VERY rusty, but cool to look at.


    First car was one of out favorites, An actual Hot Rod!! man, if this car could talk!

    I don't want to know where it is, and if anything was for sale I wouldn't be buying. I didn't see a decent car or part in any of the pics. If that stuff isn't for sale because it is somebody's treasure, then I would hate to see the stuff they consider junk.

    May they rust in peace.
     
  11. Any particular reason why nothing is for sale now ? It looks like many of the cars had been stripped at some point in time.....

    My favorite pic was that Desoto hood ornament that was pretty cool. Wish I could find one like that.
     
  17. That guys retarded! He should try and sell what very few good parts are left. I have saw quite abit of so called junk around and for the most part nothing looked as bad as that guys place. The new definition of "junk yard".

    Might be some rust but sure some salvageable.
    Lotsa nice stainless trim,too bad its going to waste.........:(
     
  22. Here's my child like question again, WHY????????????? So many of those cars could have been sold off years ago. I love saving salvage photos, as I call them, I have always found beauty in salvaged cars. But to see such waste. Damn near tears my heart out.
    It's as though someone is taking some sort of perverse pleasure by robbing the enthusiasts love of cars and letting these relics rust away into oblivion.
    Thanks for posting em anyway. I wish I knew the thought pattern behind the in activity of putting what was once good American steel back on the street or at the very least, parts of it.

    I think I found the words to how I feel when I see things like this. A sad beauty to it all.

    I could fix that Barracuda. Some good parts out there too.

    I have to agree with those who are surprised nothing is for sale. He's got some late model shit in there too, seems like that stuff would be up for grabs.

    I have a lot of stuff and all of my shit is for sale for the right price.

    Cool pics, thanks for sharing.

    Got to be an interesting story behind why someone has all those vehicles and none or no parts are for sale.

    Can you share, if you know?

    As I get older, for some reason I am curious into why people behave the way they do.

    Maybe there is no real reason.

    Just thought it might be interesting.

    I hate yards where the owner is a dick, the prices are too high and/or nothing's for sale.

    fukkum.

    ...his rusty junk is only a small part of the available steel out there for those of us who will do right by Detroit's glory days.

    I wish this arse would have sold off his scrap to the chinese monster when scrap steel was high instead of the guy in Arizona who emptied HIS yard full of worthy steel...

    ...sorry for the gin-spired rant, but guys like this aggravate the piss out of me.
