Secret Private junkyard tour/no rust belt here

Ok I went to this guys place a couple weeks back and this is what I found.
Hope your sitting down.
































































































And you couldn't buy an ash try off one of these cars. They will be for sale when the owner dies, but he has a few years in him yet.
Enjoy. There's more to come

 

Hi. We've never met, but I'm your new best friend.

 

I'll put up another 20 after lunch

 

What do you suppose the use is for the thing bolted to the fender on the cadilliac.

 

That Caddy (flower car?) is flying Jamaican colors. Loved seeing old procars. Thanks!

 

is this another sorry none of its for sale junk yards?

 

Very cool pics, can't wait for more! The guy definately has a thing for BIG GM cars. Dig the 'lumber rack' on the pass. side of the green mid '50's Caddy...

 

The thing bolted to the caddy could be a lumber carrier

 

Air intake for the trunk mounted air conditioner.

 

I honestly didn't see anything that great. Maybe I missed something. I was even sitting down.

 

Yes. As a teenager used to work for John E. Mitchell Company that made aftermarket MarkIV auto air conditioners. Saw some of these back in the 1960's and some had transparent tubular plastic vents that passed through the rear package tray and exhausted behind the rear seat. These were high performance air conditioners.

 

If you'll look closer, you'll see that it's been made into a pickup...look thru the windshield...

R-

 

is lunch over yet????????????????


and if you wanna go back there this summer let me know. I'll act like your brother from out of town to get in there with you!!!

 

The thing about them is there not all rusted out. Here some more to enjoy.

 

I'd rather look at pictures of Bob Owen's place. At least his parts are for sale.

 

And last my favorite and the one I'll keep on trying to buy

 

Those aren't for sale? Damn I've been lookin for a late 40's Caddy towtruck for years!!

 

Sorry I didn't want to offend anyone. I just thought everybody loves old car like I do. I don't care if there not for sale. With permission I spent about 3 hrs. walking around and took about 70 pictures.

 

"nothing for sale" again?
come on..

 

Very nice! It also looks like the guy has a sweet spot for old International trucks. He can't be all bad.

 

don't get me wrong, i'll still look at the pictures..

 

I love seeing this! Thank you for posting the pictures.

If I had the means to stock-pile old cars, I would do the same.

 

I love old cars... which is why I hate to see them rotting away.

Like Plowboy said on the other thread, walking an old junk yard is cooler than walking a car show any day. I do live in the rustbelt, so I know how scarce old cars are.

 

This guy had another place on the edge of town and wouldn't sell anything and the city got some lawsuite and hauled everything away to the crusher. I was told about that by one of the towing co. employees and they couldn't sell anthing either. It all had to be crushed. This place is on his farm and he won't sell anything. But it damn fun to look at.

 

Wouldn't that be grate. I'd have a 1000 of them.

 

you 38-41 Ford pickup guys need to check out the "don't fit" hood on that caddy CdV

dj

 

nice pics! and i see why your tryin to buy that last pic! looks damn solid! i dont care that there not for sale either......better then your thread startin with "all these cars were crushed after i took the pics".....that would make me puke!

 

Sure, he can. He's not fixing them up, he's not selling them out of the yard. he just has them and they're going to sit and rot. They're his and he can do what he wants with them, but he's not better than that old guy with one car who won't sell them because he's going to fix it up someday.

 

if he wont sell, make friends with whoever is gonna take over when he goes.

 

Hey! I think I saw my old Pinto wagon!
