Private Boneyards From My Travels …

In the course of my travels
I come across private boneyards
and if I am fortunate to be
allowed to take images
and/or videos I do.

I usually do not share locations
to protect the owner’s identity
and privacy unless they have
items for sale and ask me too.

Enjoy !

I’m loving this thread

 

Some good stuff in here. Hopefully some of those cars and see life again. This is a fun thread.

 

Great thread and awesome pictures. Always keeping my head on a swivel while driving new places as well

 

Thanks for the supportive comments !
There was enough parts just at this
one Boneyard to build a
Kick@ss Custom with a bonfide patina …

Had to look. Headed down to Keewatin, Mn for you is headed up for me. (2 1/2 hours)
Thats pretty much up in the sticks. Amazing how this stuff pops up where you might not expect.
Guess the decease is really everywhere.

What a nice, friendly Police Dept. there. Was it a drive-thru?

 

Craig had a few nuggets placed
around his property ….

Random chunk of an E-type just laying there amongst all of the early Ford tin, that's interesting.

Gets weirder... there's a Volvo P1800 (what's left at least) sitting next to the Jag. Must have had a sudden weakness for some European tin that quickly disappeared...

 

I can recall a few crappy motels along roads less traveled & having driven too long into the night we opted for what looked to be the last resort (pun intended) they were not exactly motel hell variety but left a story or two to tell.

 

Well, damn, buddy! That's exactly why I decided to drive over the road. Miles of ever-changing scenery, finding friendly people in places you'd never imagine (Bronx, NY), hauling a load of grapes into a market in Providence, Rhode Island, and watching all the elders in different families teach the young how to pick out the best grapes for their individual homemade wines. Then there was watching several different 4th of July fireworks shows at the same time around Denver, Colorado with the Rocky Mountains for a backdrop. Seeing the sunrise over the Atlantic and sunset in the Pacific. I've driven truck in all 48 contiguous states and Ontario, Canada, and there is so much to see out there.

Dave hired me to pick
up this 1947 Frazer Manhattan
in The Wisconsin Dells ….

After a few hours onsite it
was ready to load ….



The vehicle had not been
moved in many years from
the Seller’s home garage
and had a stuck wheel
so it would not roll freely.
With some effort and a
tow strap I got it rolling.

Little did I know what was
in store for me when I
met Dave near Altoona, PA
at a rural property to unload ….

As it turns out ….
I was at an original agency
and service garage that
had been in Dave’s Family
since it first opened.










Jim

 

why didn't they use a willys engine in the tractor upgrade?

 

You are looking at a 40 plus year
collection so who knows what was
purchased and/or built when
and what they had on hand to do it.

This original Kaiser - Frazer
agency and service location
had original signs and NOS
parts still in the box ….
